Pre-school Board Nomination Update

Remember when I told you that I volunteered to be nominated for the Fall Show Fundraising committee for the pre-school? Well, it turns out that there was some more movement in the open positions and I was offered the nomination for Vice Chair! I am very excited and honored to have been chosen for this position. (I'm also glad that my work for the school won't be concentrated during those first fall months.) (Note: The nominating committee puts together a slate to be recommended by the board and then made official by a vote at the general membership meeting, so it's not actually final until then.)

Am I Crazy or What?

So, it still has to go through the nominating committee and then official board approval and then official vote at the yearly pre-school membership meeting, but I just volunteered to be a fundraising chair next year -- the one who runs the fall show. I really want to continue to be on the board and I even want a big job. I know that I can run the fall show -- I'm fairly familiar with what it involves because I've been on the committee a couple of times. It's just that fall is birthday time in my house and every year I get sick overdoing the party planning and preparations. I've already vowed to myself that there will be no parties at the house this year. I will make the cakes -- that's a given. But the kids will get to pick a place to have a party that someone else plans: ballet studio, build-a-bear, aquarium, science museum, ... they'll get to choose and we'll invite a couple of kids. So if I can just plan ahead on the show and schedule my time well (hah!) I won't get sick this year???
