A Note From Your New Committee Chair

Hello Everyone,

My name is Aisha (I-E-Sha) Peyton and I'm so excited to be the Lead Coordinator for this well recognized event! I would like to thank Toni Little for doing such a phenomenal job all these years and being such a great teacher during this transition!

I look forward to getting to know you all while getting to know the in's & out's of the crafting/fair world.

Happy New Year!

Howdy, All!  Hope everyone had a great holiday season and is ready for the promise of a better new year!  I know I am.

REMINDER: 2012 applications will not be available or accepted until April, with the cut-off in mid-September. This mention because I got one today (no lie), so I want to make that clear to anyone just coming into this.

Tuesday, January 24th, is the next PTSA meeting and four of us will meet an hour earlier to discuss preparations and resources for the 2012 Arts & Crafts Fair.  I'll be taking a guiding role while four others are prepared to be committee members.  All we need is a parent willing to be the central contact and decision maker.  It's a tough sell when people see the expansiveness of this event, but really it's been quite enjoyable and rewarding with the quality parents that have come forward to help in the past, and I know there will be the in the years to come.

If you've been trying to reach me/us, my sincerest apologies - it's been a rough winter health-wise, but I need to find the energy to bring the administrative side current (emails, voice mails, web, Facebook, documents, files......) and ease the transition.  Rest assured, it will be done because I don't believe in leaving our supporters hanging.  Not for too much longer!

Keep checking back as we continue to work toward another great fair.
Thank you!

24 hours to go....

Took today off to finalize the details - equipment deliveries are coming in, the inner campus booths will be marked off, volunteers will be cleaning the parking lot, administrative supplies will be set aside, and tonight I get to bed early.  The parking lot/check-in logistics have been refined, volunteers slotted, food vendors registered for inspection.  Now if I can just remember to eat.....

Super excited about this year, but it's a bittersweet feeling.  I've accomplished everything I wanted to do with this fair when I took it over in 2007.  It's time for the next parent to step up and continue the legacy of this great event.  Be kind, All, and take care of the next round of committee members.  Remember we're just ordinary parent volunteers, trying to do something extraordinary for our kids.

Peace, love and creativity!
