Come one, come all!!! This will be an idea meeting and we can use as many ideas as possible.
If you can't come, please call/text/email your suggestions or comments!!!
Here is the current agenda for the meeting, please let me know if you have any suggestions/additions:
PTA Announcements: General meeting and elections, evening of May 19
Carnival topics:
Recap of 2017 Carnival: Carnival brought in $9,267.42 total, with expenses of $4,095.68, that's a profit of $5,171.75, but a big caveat is that not all the expenses are reflected because some things were purchased and leftover from the previous year.
Date and time of Carnival: Last year it was Friday, November 3, 6-9 pm. Future options: Fall and/or Spring; evening or weekend daytime.
Food: Last year it was only tacos, nachos, quesadillas, etc. Previous years there was also burgers. Most profit comes from doing the food ourselves unless a vendor is willing to donate. But doing it ourselves requires manpower. Also to discuss location, but maybe at a later meeting.
Fundraising: Possible sponsorships, signage, booths? Ideas?
Promotion: Ideas for more promotion of the event to the community. Ie. mentions in Church bulletins, more neighborhood signage. Ideas?
Attractions: see attached attraction totals from 2017
Band: Texas Soul Beats (was unavailable in 2017, but performed all previous years in English and Spanish)
Cake walk: was very popular last year. Line up more pastry donations
Prizes: Do we have enough prizes for the games? Need an inventory and order more if necessary.
Volunteers: Parent/Teacher volunteers, Tarleton volunteers were extremely helpful last year, maybe even some volunteers from Christ Chapel.
Leadership areas: Food, Attractions, Sponsorships, Promotion/Signage, Volunteer coordinator
attachment to agenda: Ticket income by attraction from last year's Carnival:
