Financial Report:   Collected $1,245 in dues and $1320.77 at the book fair.  Spent $589.77 on teacher dinners, $75.07 on supplies, and $1,089 on dues remittance.  Current balance is $14,575.69.   We have not paid for the book fair yet.  Amy would like to buy a change tray for counting change at the book fair.  It costs about $30 at Staples.  The board thought that was a justifiable expense.
