Fundraising Committee

The Silent Auction, the Reading Is FUNdraiser,  are coming up and need your help! Join the Fundraising Committee to help with soliciting donations, distributing prizes (think coordinating pizza and popsicle parties), and helping day of for live events. 

Nominating Committee
Every year we are scrambling to find volunteers to help approve new PTA Board members, but not this year! This year we would like to have the Nominating Committee secured by the end of January, with the slate of nominees for next year's Board by early April. The Nominating Committee is the group of PTA members that helps fill in any holes on the next year's slate and formally approves the slate once complete. 

Events Committee
Help us put together Bingo Night in February and plan some fun givebacks in the Spring. We need help with everything from selling tickets, to handing out pizza, to cleaning up after the event. 

Email volunteersvp@unionmillpta.org for more information or to sign up for one or all three of these committees. Please get involved--we promise you will have fun! ​


NEW After-School Programs

At the January 11 meeting, attendees voted to decrease the Spring budget due to a deficit. The following changes were made:
  1. The Holiday Bazaar ($250 in expenses, no budgeted revenue) and the Walkathon ($500 in expenses, no budgeted revenue) were both cut. The Holiday Bazaar was not held due to low returns in prior years and a lack of volunteers. The Walkathon will not be held because we are having the Color Run in April.
  2. Operation Feed the Need was cut completely ($1,500 in expenses, no budgeted revenue)--due to a lack of volunteers, we were unable to get this effort off the ground this year.
  3. Subsidies for field trips were decreased from $5,000 to $1,000. The $1,000 is reserved for students/families in need so that we can ensure every student is able to participate. 
  4. Spring Fling (also known as the UMES STEAM Fair) ($2,500 in expenses, no budgeted revenue) has been cancelled. We haven't had any volunteer interest in leading this event.
If you have questions about the budget, please contact the UMES PTA Board or come to the February General Membership meeting on February 8 at 7 pm in the cafeteria. If you feel passionately about events that have been cut or weren't held, we'd love to have you as a volunteer!
