To all the high school students out there wondering if that English class really matters or watching the short-sighted skate through school barely learning their Algebra or dreaded Chemistry:  It’s worth it!  It’s not about the grade you will get on Monday.  Lots of people can cheat or memorize a few facts and scrape by with a B-.

2010 was a very good year for Beta members as they put into practice their motto, "Let Us Lead By Serving Others."

Over $287,000 was raised to send to the victims of the earthquake in Haiti. All donations were managed by the American Red Cross.

With 947 Beta Clubs reporting a total of $1,584,946 in cash was raised and 250,000 hours of labor was donated to a wide variety of local, state, and national charities.

Another shining example of Beta Club members putting "Achievement into Action!"

MDA (Muscular Dystrophy Association) has been selected as the 2010-11 National Service Project.  The goal is to raise $1.00 for every National Beta Club member during this school year.  If accomplished a check for over $400,000 will be presented to Jerry Lewis at the annual Labor Day Telethon in 2011.
Luke Christie, a Beta Club member, and National Youth Chairman for MDA made the annoucement at the national convention in Louisville, KY in June, 2010.

We are going to the Beta Convention in North Carolina in Greensboro. I can't wait!! I went to the National Beta Convention in Florida and had a great time. I will add more up here after the convention.

It is awesome to still work with such a great organization. I am not only an alumni I now serve as a Beta Club sponsor at my school and have served as a state sponsor with the National Beta Club. It is great.

My name is Jim Black, and I was the club Vice President of the Clinton High (SC) Betas my Senior year in high school, 1984-85, which was the year that Beta celebrated it's 50th anniversary.

Welcome back to Beta!  It is the goal of the National Beta Club home office to reconnect Beta Alumni.  We want to know what you've been doing with your life.  We want to know how Beta's are positively impacting their community, business, and the nation.
