            The meeting was called to order by President Shawn Abernathy at 12:38 p.m. at Epworth Methodist Church.  The minutes of the last two Board meetings were presented.  Beth Cross moved and it was seconded that the minutes be approved as read.  The motion carried.

            Beth Croll gave the Treasurer’s Report on behalf of the Treasurer, stating that there was no change from the last month.  There was $950 left on an Inasmuch Foundation Grant, which was used to purchase weights for the stage curtains in the auditorium.  Cass Hayes-Townsend suggested her concern about the frequency of flag replacement for the new flag plaza and that we should include that in our budget for next year.

            Jennifer Puckett reported on the Impact survey currently being conducted by the District.  This second survey will allow the district to compare the results with the survey taken two years ago.  She will get reminders out to parents to turn in their survey. 

            President Shawn Abernathy reported that the next Board meeting will be April 12, 2006, at 12:30 p.m.  The General Meeting will be March 21, 2006, at 6 p.m. in the Classen auditorium.  She also reported that a committee is preparing the slate of officers for next year to be presented at the General meeting.  She thanked Marguerite for volunteering for a week in the office.  Jamsie Braud has contacted the alumni association and asked to be on their agenda. 

            Kristi Warren, Fundraising Chair, reported that the acquisitions chair will not be able to work on the auction due to health concerns.  Kristi and Beth Croll gave a report of the auction committee meeting, stating their concerns about whether we will be able to hold the auction due to the late start in preparations.  The responsibility for acquisitions has been split up.  Beth will again be in charge of getting food.  The theme will be “Classen Through the Years”.  Beth Stanbrough has donor letters.  Invitations must go out immediately and will be sent to all parents and parents of students who will be new next year.   Possibilities of  styles of invitations were discussed as well as getting the bulk mail permit renewed.  We need to push sales of raffle tickets.  Jennifer Robinson has them in her classroom.  There is a box in the main office to turn in the tickets and money.

            The meeting was adjourned.
