GUEST SPEAKER
Becky Russell came to speak about the Missoula Children’s Theatre. They are a traveling children’s theatre company. Kids K – 12 get to audition for play. The dates will be January 4th – 9th, 2010. They will be putting on The Princes and the Pea. The cost is $2750, $500 needed upfront and remaining to be paid the day of the performance. Money to pay for this is generated by charging the kids a fee to participate and through ticket sales to the performance. Becky is asking the PTC for the $500 fee. If the PTC sponsors the event Becky can use school buildings for the performance and practices without having to pay rent. Katie Wampler made a motion that the PTC give the $500 to sponsor the event. Second by David McDarby. Approved by all.

So far she knows that $1600 goes for renting the equipment for drilling holes, rubber tiles and adhesive, ProStar security guard, and renting the jack hammer and the district playground equipment supervisor is paid $25-$45 an hour. We can contact concrete companies and see if someone will donate the concrete. Will still need to have a parent work party to install the equipment.
