Pastalaya dinner on Monday November 23. Lunches are $6 and can be picked up in the cafeteria or you can deliver them. I also need a few spare drivers for students who will be out of town. The lunch includes pastalaya, corn, bread and dessert. I am also in need of someone to make those yummy lemon cakes and to help my mom with cooking and cleaning.

I have been placed on a sort of restriction due to my high blood pressure with the baby. So I need lots of help with the next few events and fundraisers. I am told I do too much :) I am in need of someone to plan and orchestrate induction. That would entail getting a date set, making the invitations, programs, etc. I will take care of getting a speaker but the planning and pricing part I need help with.

We are thinking about doing a breakfast with Santa. It would be on Sat. Dec 12 or 19. I submitted the fundraiser form and am waiting to hear back. Families could get a pancake breakfast for $6 and kids could take pictures with Santa and order picture packages available the following Monday at school. My mom has volunteered to take the pictures but I am in need of parents to heat up the pancakes, make plates and clean up.

I need opinions on doing a doughnut sale during Christmas week early in the morning for businesses. I want to do either a lunch over the break or the doughnuts. Honestly the doughnuts make more money and are much easier. Any thoughts on how well that would sell?

The Log 1 contest is approaching. We are asking ALL members to buckle down and study for this. There is 3000 dollars up for grabs that we missed by about 20 points last year. We want to win that money this year as we won't have to raise that money. After next Wednesday everyday in Mu Alpha Theta class will be dedicated to learning the material on that test. However, students will still need to study and review at home to ensure we get the highest scores possible.

We have formed pi week and t shirt committees. Any parents willing to design the pi week poster please let me know.

Check lamao.org for tournament updates. We have three tournaments back to back in January so it will be a very busy month.

We are hoping the pants and jackets will be ready on Friday so the kids can wear them on Saturday. Our ladies pants were back ordered and that messed the monogramming dates up.

SpringFest this year conflicts with State. I need parent volunteers to run our booth for most of the weekend. I will be able to pop by for a few hours to help but will have a newborn and will have to be at state also. We will need parents to man the booth all of Friday night and part of Saturday. From there we will need one adult present with the students to help keep track of the money.

Students should be working on their research based powerpoints for MAO class. We will be entering these in a contest to win between 250 dollars to 1000 dollars for those students that worked on the project. They will also get a copy of some very expensive software.

We will have a Sicily's night in December, however, I am still trying to get in touch with the manager at Sicily's.

Also there will be a Christmas party in December date TBA. It depends on the breakfast with Santa date.
