6: One to screw it in, and five to sell tickets to the "screw in a lightbulb" family night.

two to take pictures for the newletter/website
one to check the by-laws to make sure that it's being done correctly
one principal to get permission to change the bulb from the five school board members
four teachers to complain that their bulbs need changed first
two people to sign the check to buy the bulb
two custodians to hold the ladder
one PTO secretary to document the event in the minutes
one person to bring snacks and drinks
two babysitters
three veteran PTO members to tell us how they used to do it - in the good old days
two hospitality committee members to send a thank you card when the work is completed
two people to research a grant that may pay for the work and materials
three people to seek donations from the community
one to do the actual installation of the bulb

so.....31 people (and maybe an additional person to check my math!)

It only takes one but it might takes six months to get the principal's approval.

Just the Maintaince Man - PTO will supply the appreciation donuts and a picture signed by the elementary students the next morning.

As many as possible! 1 to orginize....1 to sell tickets....1 to collect the money...1 to take pictures and many to come and watch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How many PTOers does it take to Screw in a Lightbulb?

In a Parochial School, only one, but it takes a month because you have to have the approval of the Finance Committee and the Priest before you can do it!
