PTA will organize food for sale, possibly sharing the income with the seventh grade, i.e., they could

a last minute tournament relocation. It was proposed that the PTA food sale be advertised in the
tournament brochure.

the vendors that will be attending.

It was decided that PTA will pay for half the cost of the babysitting course to occur in October, the
other half coming from individual participants.
