\ncaught, the phone will go to the office and the parent will have to pick it up.
\nVI. Treasurers Report: Mary Tanner is still looking for a parent to Co-Chair the Treasurers position.\u00c2\u00a0 She will not be the Treasurer next year and would like to have some one work with her so they are up to speed next year.
\nThe Steller Parent Group has $8763.69 in the checking account.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 $2,864.83 was carried over from last year.\u00c2\u00a0 A total of 88 families have donated\u00c2\u00a0 $6,460.00.\u00c2\u00a0 E-Script has brought in $739.86 so far this year.
\nRaffle stubs and money and the unsold tickets must be turned in by December 15th.\u00c2\u00a0 Please keep selling the tickets until then.

\nThe school receives approximately 15% of the proceeds.
\nThe vending machine proceeds are divided as follows:\u00c2\u00a0 5% goes to the Alt Ed fund, 10% to the yearbook, 35% to the General Fund and 50% to Student Activities.\u00c2\u00a0 For the next 3 months the machine must bring in $250 per month for the vender to keep the machine at the school.\u00c2\u00a0 The vender will keep track of what is selling and what is not selling and adjust the food items to best suit the students\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 needs.\u00c2\u00a0 The demand for cup of soup and snacks from the nurse\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s office has gone down since the new vending machine was placed in the lounge. There is currently one microwave in the lobby. One more microwave will be placed in the lounge soon.
\nThere was a discussion about what will happen to the vending machine when the Caf\u00c3\u00a9 is up and running. The vending machine would compete for the profits with the Caf\u00c3\u00a9. It was suggested that the vending machine could be taken out of the school or perhaps the Caf\u00c3\u00a9 and the vending machine could operate on alternate days.
