My committee on the PTA is hosting a donuts for Dads event tomorrow morning. We have over 500 people who will be attending, this is almost double from last year. This is typically held outside where the kids run wild and the Dads stand around and talk. The forecast is calling for rain so we have come up with Plan B. We will set up in the cafeteria and then shoo people off to the gym to run wild before school begins.
I have spent a large part of my day going to a couple different stores buying juice boxes (just 360 of them), creamer and coffee cups. Luckily, we can take everything up to the cafeteria tonight and set up. We hope that tomorrow morning won't be so hectic to get it all together.
Ok, now for the funny part. We sent out a note in the kid's folders today. The flyer was a reminder of the special event tomorrow and to let them know rain or shine donuts will be served. My co-chair got a call this afternoon from a Dad who asked if he could bring anything tomorrow. Nice of him right? She went on to tell him "no" just himself and child. He thought he needed to bring his own donut. Really? Sounds like a plan for me....we are going to invite you to an event and have you bring your own goodies.
And speaking of donuts. Tomorrow is national donut day at Dunkin Donuts. A free donut with a purchase of a beverage. Maybe we should have just told all the dads to go buy their own drink to get a free donut. It sure would have been easier on us.
