Sounds confusing to me too. What kind of info do you send out with the $10 request? Do you make sure the families know they have a choice? What if someone can't pay that amount?

As a PTO, we have traditionally requested $10 dues from every family in the school...however, after reading a lot about PTO fees for each member I am wondering if this is the same thing? And if we choose to "charge" members, how do we get the point across that they are members of the PTO?...very confused on this issue...need help!
