Perhaps at the next meeting, when the treasurer's report is presented, you could point out that the organization is short on funds and suggest some activities that could be done at a very low cost. For example, we do an international night which pretty much consists of people getting to sample foods that families have brought in to share, and watching music and dance performances--some of the performances are arranged by the music and PE teachers, some are just things that the families do on their own. Or you can pay for a movie license for a year, and have 3 or 4 family movie nights. Our PTO tried a fundraiser this year that really didn't work as well as we had hoped, but parents were getting tired of the same old, same old, so we decided that we would just make do with what we got and concentrate on low cost activities that would promote community building.
