Upcoming Events

Heya everyone,

the next meeting (Fri., Dec. 2nd) is going to be an important one. We have lots of upcoming events and information that we'd like to go over. We want all of our members to be up-to-date with club activities and so I urge that you tell your friends in Beta to be there this Friday.

Here's a brief overview of what we'll be discussing at the upcoming meeting:

1. Holiday Benefit Concert: Friday, Dec. 9th

The concert is coming up pretty fast. Our ticket sales will start Mon.,Dec. 5th and we'll be signing up for members to sell the tickets at the next meeting. We need a few volunteers from each lunch block so we can switch-off days.

Additionally, members will sign-up to bring food and drinks next meeting. Possibly something holiday-themed (gingerbread cookies, candy canes, ect.) that we can sell during the concert. Again, all proceeds go directly to Charity:Water.

Rehearsals for the concert are this upcoming Thursday.

2. Candy Grams

Heard of the saying "Kill two birds with one stone"? Whoever will be selling the Benefit Concert tickets for that specific lunch block will also try to market Candy Grams for the holiday season. All proceeds from the Candy-Gram sale will go to Atlanta Children's Center.

3. Secret Santa

Most of us aren't well-acquainted with everyone in the club. In addition to being a lot of fun, we thought hosting a Secret Santa would be a great club bonding experience. :) It'll be a way for members to break away from the people who they typically hang out with and form new friendships. More information will be given on Friday.

We'll start drawing names at the next meeting.

4. T-Shirts

T-shirt orders will soon be underway. Here's a look at our design for this year:

Drag to the address bar for full-size

Be free to make a comment/suggestion!

5. Induction Ceremony & Beta Banquet

After Winter Break, Beta will be hosting a formal induction ceremony followed by a banquet. More information to come.

11/5 Meeting

It's decided: Our t-shirt design is "Let's make Beta Time" with Borat's thumbs up pose. On the back should be  all our names.
We'll try and get a drawn-up design and pricing over the next two meetings.

The Holiday Benefit Concert should be Friday, December 9.
If you've already talked to someone who wants to perform, let me know who and what act! You can Facebook message me. This isn't a trap for them; it's merely to gauge the numbers.

Beta Garden will meet this Thursday! If you're on landscaping committee, this is a great time to be involved.
Remember to keep track of your hours.

10/28 Meeting

Thank you for writing so many Thanksgiving letters for The Bert Show's Big Thank You! Now, dozens of soldiers will be getting a sweet letter for their holidays, thanks to your efforts.

Try and keep track of your own community service hours. Remember: every letter = 10 min of Beta-specific hours
Don't forget you need 10 hours (5 Beta-specific) this semester!

Dues should be turned in by the end of this week.

The poll for Fundraising is closing soon. If you haven't voted yet, go go go!
The Talent for a Cause Benefit Concert's cause is... Charity: Water. Look for more information on this later.

New T-shirt design!
KC and I came up with a Borat-themed shirt.
If you don't know what "sexytime" is, familiarize yourself:

So the shirt would be a design like:

and it would say "Let's make Beta time"

Colors can change.

Names may possibly be listed on the back.
