10/14 Meeting

Come up with creative T-shirt designs!
Suggested: "You go Beta, you go Greata''
Please be free to comment below on any t-shirt design/slogan ideas you might have! We are hoping to get these t-shirts designed finalized by mid-November.

• Dues/Applications should be turned in by the end of this month, so if you haven't, do so!
• Landscaping/any other members will work on the Beta Garden every Tuesday and Thursday after school - it's mostly clean-up for now, but soon, we'll be planting things!
• Talent for a Cause members: find a cause to donate the Benefit Concert funds to, and comment on this post:
• Fundraising Committee: The original homework was to research one or two organizations that you would like club to raise money for. In addition to this, please bring in two or three fundraising ideas. (for example, we had discussed a bake sell in the past) Like I said before, I will ask that committee members present their ideas during the meeting. At the end of the upcoming meeting, we will vote upon prospective charity organizations that the club can raise money for and the type of fundraiser we may have (this is in addition to Talent for a Cause). If you have any questions, be free to comment below.

One last quick note: if you would like to make a powerpoint to present to the class along with your ideas, be free to! If it helps convey the message, it is encouraged. Either send it in via email (campbellbetaclub@gmail.com) or have it on a flashdrive so we can pull it up during the meeting.

Talent for a Cause Benefit Concert Planning

Okay, TforC members!

It's time to start planning for a Benefit Concert before the holidays - we could even make it into a Holiday Benefit Concert.

• Anybody anywhere (yes, this means people outside of Campbell!) can perform anything relating to the arts (including music, rap/spoken word/poetry, dance, skits, etc.).
• Funds will be donated to a certain cause.
• Date is TBA. I'm meeting with Mrs. Magee next week, and will have a date then. I'm hoping a Friday in early December.

Post a comment here by next week with a cause you think we should donate to. Give a link or a mini description, and we'll have the club vote on one at the meeting.
