Hi guys and gals!

I hope this is the right place to put this.

I started volunteering at my daughters school last year and once i was comfortable enough I joined the PTO. Toward the end of the year the president asked if I would take notes and be the Secretary. I was over the moon and said yes without thinking. I only had to take the notes for May and June. I found a sample Meeting Minutes document and used that as my example. It wasnt perfect but I did what I could. Now this year we have a new principal and she wants things PERFECT! I have no clue how to do the real meeting minutes and my anxiety is making it 10000000X worse! I dont want to quit but the new principal sent us, the pto, a few other PTO wesbites so we could get ideas for ours. Umm.....these Meeting Minutes are IN DEPTH. Like I am seriously freaking out about doing them. I also am seeing that there is A LOT more than I thought that goes into being the Secretary! I dont know how to do most of the tasks. I have some Executive Functioning Issues/ADD and I havent ever taken a course on note taking or anything. We have our first meeting on Tuesday and I am seriously freaking out already! Any advice is appreciated!

Sorry if this is in the wrong place. I wasnt sure if it should go here, anxiety boards or ADD boards.

Thanks for listening! Hope it makes sense!
