  7. Put Your Skills to Work • Are you a CPA or in finance? • Have Marketing or General Office Skills? • Fast Food or Janitorial Connections? Talk to teachers and parents to find ways to volunteer or serve the school within the limitations of your busy schedule. Offer your professional skills whether it's writing press releases for an upcoming fundraiser or accounting for the spring carnival.

  8. Change Is Good • Change the time, location or “flavor” of your PTA Meetings • If you generally have PTA Meetings at night, schedule a couple during breakfast or lunch time to allow all parents an opportunity to attend at least one or two meetings during the year • Meet at the local library, restaurant or have a outdoor cookout

  9. Don’t Forget “Me” • Take time to relax • Meet a friend for lunch, movies or coffee • Go on a date with your mate • Say a little prayer for me
