Leadership and Competitive Events. Each year, a growing number of our Beta members travel to Savannah in order to compete against other members across the state. Once again, we are hoping to be able to send a record number of Betas to compete at State. All members who place top five in their event will qualify to attend The National Beta Convention, which will take place in Houston, Texas over the summer. Raised funds will go to help students pay for travel expenses and competition fees for both of these events. Additionally, funds raised will continue to aid with costs of leadership development training opportunities and community service projects. Beta Club is a service-based organization, and we encourage our members to serve our school and community. We host service projects throughout the year in order for our Betas to have opportunities to participate in serving our community. This year, our 5k will not only raise money for our club service projects and competitive events, but also a very special "Claus", former Metter Tiger, Salvador Silva Ramos. Salvador was involved in a terrible accidental shooting around this time, last year. The accident left him with very limited mobility and in need of a great deal of physical therapy, medical attention, equipment, and so forth. This year, all entry fee profits will be donated to assisting Salvador and his family with his rehabilitation needs. MHS Beta Club donations are tax-deductible. Please consider joining our efforts today with a tax-deductible contribution or sign up for our event.
