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.

Donations! VOTE!

POLLS WILL CLOSE NOV 3. VOTE NOW!

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.
