    * Highlights from April PTSA Board Meeting:
     
    • Our Executive Committee was elected.  We appreciate their willingness to lead our efforts in the 2010-1022 school year.
      • Co-Presidents: Kristen Allen-Bentsen & Camille Vaska
      • Treasurer: Anne Watanabe
      • Secretary: Jennifer Deeny
      • VP-Communications: Onti Rosen
      • VP-Hospitality: Maria Nelson
      • VP-Programs: Sandra Lum
      • Co-VP Volunteers: Kim Dreiblatt & Shannon Jasman
    • We are actively looking for a VP-Ways and Means as well as committee chairs for next year.  Please contact Sally Brunette or Camille Vaska if you are interested.
    • We approved our 2010-2011 budget with income of $31,315 and expenses of $35,937.50; our current finances support this budget and enable us to maintain a reasonable reserve.  Most line items were decreased in light of our smaller school population next year.  The other significant changes were decreasing the amount for special funding requests and increasing the grant amount from $125 to $150 per certified staff member.
    • Jamba Juice affinity cards are here!  Jamba Juice has launched a new, national program to support PTSAs.  When you make a purchase and show your special card, they will return 10% of your purchase price to Issaquah Middle.  We'd love to get these cards into the hands of Jamba Juice fans, so please contact Sally Brunette at sallybru@comcast.net to get yours.
