Christine Ellsworth was appointed treasurer for the remainder of this term. She also volunteered to run for this position for the 2003 year. Nominations for the 2003 Board and Committee Chairpersons must be made by the September meeting so they can be voted on at the October 8th meeting.
Sigrid reminded all present that requests for training classes should be made by the September meeting. Various areas that could be included are Administrative, Developmental, Cognitive, Hands-on, Environment/Classroom, and Safety.
Sigrid asked for a brief recap from all participants of the Tour of Homes which could be posted on the website.
Sheila Adams reported that the website is now operational and she will process updates in information. The board approved reimbursement to Sheila for the purchase of paper and cartridges. The board requests E-mail addresses from all providers. If not available, Sheila will mail out original web pages if the provider gives her a self-addressed and stamped (extra postage) envelope.
Ideas on how to increase Association participation and community activities were discussed. Among those accepted by the board are:
1) A telephone committee that will call all active members regarding
regular meetings and special events. This committee also could do
follow-up calls to any member who does not attent two consecutive
meetings.
2) The use of door prizes for attendance at meetings. Unique Clay will
follow up on this idea.
3) Free packets of art supplies for kids at the next meeting. Christine
Ellsworth will follow up on this project.
4) Sorkshops with drawing power (preferably DHR approved).
Please be prepared to make specific suggestions at the September meeting.
CPCCA's next major project is our Christmas party for Cobb County foster children on our regularly scheduled meeting date of Tuesday, December 10. This project will require a great deal of preparation and all providers are are urged to participate and involve their day care parents. Willie Mae Ross-Burton and Tine Warrilow will assist in coordinating activities.
The slate of candidates for board offices and committee chairpersons were discussed at length and will be presented at the September meeting. All members are urged to volunteer for positions as co-chairpersons or committee members.
The meeting was adjourned at 9:15 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Tine Warrilow, Recording Secretary
