Parental suggestions and what do I do with those?

As CC, from time to time, I get parental suggestions. I got several last
night. How should I handle these?
The first was to include, somehow, for the parents, the "40 Assets"
program in a potluck dinner format. While this is certainly a worthwhile
program and could be beneficial given the recent LIttleton, CO shootings,
right now I feel tasked with getting the Program reorganized or up and
running.
The second was a call for a parents meeting. How often are others having
a parent meeting? We had one, shortly after the WEbelos crossed in
February (or just before, I forget) and just before Klondike. Again, a
good idea, but I feel some compulsion to get the leaders and boy leaders
trained and the Committee functioning on a regular basis. And also to get
the PLC up and running.
The third idea sounds intriguing, not typical boy scouting, but fun.
Apparently this dad attended such a function with his Girl Scout daughter.
The Scouts would be invited to a semi-formal "dinner" where coaches on
etiquette and table manners would be available to teach them the ropes
about which fork, how to dress,, what not to do. After eating with the
"animals" at my own dinner table, where some kids show great manners and
others eat with their hands, wipe their mouth on their sleeve, forget to
pass food etc. , this isn;t a bad idea. I think with this one, I could
throw it out to the PLC for inclusion on the calendar (if we ever get a
date for annual planning). Anyone else done this before and what was your
experience?
