October 2009 PPSA Minutes:
The Sugarhouse Chili Open is coming up on Sat, Jan 30th. This year they will be having a Winter Festival theme so the whole family can get involved. Volunteers are needed from Pingree to help at the Festival from 7:00 am to about 1:00 pm. If you are interested please contact Laurel Ingham.
And, with that in mind, Pingree will be putting together 17 baskets this year, and have 2 live auctions to help raise money for our school. Basket themes include, Baby girl, Baby boy, Chocolate, Uof U, BYU, Quilting, Coffee, Family Fun, Games, Children's Books. If you have anything that you can donate for these baskets or know of businesses that would donate to these baskets, you can contact Melissa at mbc715@hotmail.com. Also, tickets for the raffle held at the Chili Open Gala dinner the night before are available to sell or buy at $2.00 a ticket, or 6 tickets for $10.00. It would be great if all the parents at Pingree would at least sell two 6 packs of tickets. Remember, all the money comes back to the school, and the Rotary Club also matches funds.
We are still looking for sponsorships for the Chili Open. They start at $300.00. If you are interested in a sponsorship please contact Laurel. You can find more about the Chili Open by googling the Chili Open Golf Classic of Salt Lake.
We still need some volunteers to help park cars for the 3 Utah home games. They will be on October 24th, October 31st, and November 7th. If you can help, please contact Kathy at ppsajewelry@gmail.com. This is a great school fundraiser that does not cost the school anything to do! Please help out!
The teacher Luncheon will be October 22nd. We need people to make crock pots of soup and bring them up to the school for the teachers. The teachers really love the soup luncheon, so if you can help out by making a soup please do. Also, help is needed for set up and clean up. If you can help, please contact Melissa.
Pingree will be putting on a holiday boutique, most likely December 2nd, and if you would like to buy a booth for $50.00, please contact Melissa. There are already 8 booths that are committed, but we are hoping to have at least 20 booths. There will be more information coming on this boutique.

Remember to please keep contacting your legislature about funding for autism services including the preschools, registry, and job placement assistance. You can go to vote-smart.org to find out who your legislature is. Call or write a note about your personal story and why funding is so important to keep for autism.
