Officially voted in!
Tonight was the first PTO meeting since I was asked to be the Fundraising Queen. Tonight was also the kick off to the Book Fair (which I'll be in charge of organizing the next time we have a Book Fair). We got to school at 5:15 to give Libby time to shop at the Book Fair and then at 6:00 we headed over to the PTO meeting. There were probably about 100 parents there which I thought wasn't a bad turn out. The PTO President got up to start the meeting. The first official business of the night was for the entire PTO to vote on approving the new by-laws. It took her three tries to get a majority of the room to vote on approving the by-laws. :-) I don't think people actually opposed the new by-laws...I think they just didn't feel like raising thier right hand to actually cast their vote. :-) Once she finally got a slight majority vote she announcd that the next business at hand was to vote in the newest board member...the Fundraising Coordinator. She announced that I had graciously accepted the position and needed to have a vote in regards to voting me in..and then she had me stand. I wanted to hurl something at her but I didn't have anything nearby so instead of throwing something at her I stood and smiled. She then asked for everyone to please cast their vote by raising their right hands if they supported me becoming the Fundraising Coordinator and everyone in the room raised their hand! How funny! She looked at me and said, "You got more votes than the by-laws...you are now officially a board member!" :-) Libby was thoroughly embarrassed, as well, having her mom stand up in a room full of people but she got through it just as I did. :-)
