It's just a large school with a very involved group of parents. Hell, we probably have 25-30 very active men that don't have kids there anymore. Some of them are in their 60's and 70's.

Ya'll's menu sounds a lot like our set up. 7 meetings a year and all have good food and lots of beer. They raffle off a bottle of liquor and do a 50/50 at every meeting.

Some of these principals and priest at some place don't quite get the concept about giving people an incentive to show up and want to volunteer. Our lives are busy, but getting together with the men to have some fun gets them out to volunteer and the many fundraising events throughout the year. They love our $$$ we raise at the big events such as the jazzfest beer booth, the crawfish cook-off, and fish fries. And they damn sure want us there to fix flower beds, paint the playground, clean buildings, etc etc. Make it fun.

I'm looking forward to getting involved when my daughter is a few years older. Probably won't start here there until PreK 4, so still a few years out
