Activities Survey (2015)

The purpose of our Sunday night meeting is to determine what activities PTO should being doing and what activities we should not be doing. (I firmly believe that PTO should not be a "yes, we can" group for every single request we receive, and we should also not fall back on the excuse "we've always done that" either!) Sunday is also an opportunity to see what programs and activities we need to change. Below are all the activities I could think of that we currently do. Please follow the directions below each section.

If I get all responses by noon on Sunday, I should be able to summarize the information for the meeting. If everyone agrees that something should be deleted, then we don't even need to take time to discuss it. If we have time, I'd like to look at the board positions and determine who is responsible for each PTO activity. However, I want the meeting to be no more than 2 hours. That said, let's get focused and knock it out!

Thanks,
Trisha
