- Europe Trip: May 1st to 12th. A TOC will need to be hired as three teachers will be away. Is the Society able to cover some of the cost, i.e. $500?

Kwantlen Park PAC
We will not be doing an Inter-A update until February as the PAC agenda is very full this month.
Fundraising
- UD will check into booking a bowling night at Xcalibur for either Feb. 16, 23, or Mar. 29th
- UD will call Big Brothers to see if it would be worthwhile to do a pickup just before Spring Break, and will also check into a plant sale.
- CW will check with RB about doing a concession on play days – will students be doing one or would they like the Society to do it.

Discussed setting up a separate fund to assist Inter-A families. Decision: Prefer to address situations as they come up without creating a separate fund.
