BTK Giving Tree

Our Giving Tree Committee decided to sponsor 2 teenage sibling groups which contsist of Christian(17) & Kayla(16) and Charles(12), Marcy(13) & Messiah(13). Between our advisors, officers, & members we have a total of $123 that people have generously dontated. The committee decided to get Chico Mall gift cards for each of these people so they can have fun purchasing what they want. These gift cards will be accompanied by a beautiful sparkling Christmas card. Thank you everyone for your generosity during these trying times.

Beta Theta Kappa's '09 Holiday Party

2 advisors, 5 officers, and 4 members were in attendance. The party began with everyone introducing themselves, the ornament they've donated to BTK, and an interesting fact. The toys that were brought for the children's toy drive sat patiently under the christmas tree awaiting their departure to the BTK Giving Tree. We played a great icebreaker game called "The Wind Blows." This had everyone literarly out of their seats and running around trying to find an empty seat to stake claim because they happened to share a common trait with the person in the hot seat. Our potluck dinner was FANTASTIC!!! Ami suprised everyone with her baking skills. As we enjoyed our dinner, we started to notice the beautiful decorations that Ami, Gabby & Corinna had put up early that day. Their was a three way tie for the most difficult drawings for our closing game, "Christmas Pictionary," Leo drew '09 Beta Theta Kappa Christmas Party and Travis drew Consumerism, and Tony drew Odin with his eight-legged horse named Sleipnir. Overall, the party was a success. Everyone had fun, left full, and some even left with more food than they came in with.

Happy Holidays from your friends

We had 19 officers and members present.

Fall Leadership

Fall Leadership Conference 2009 (11/20 and 11/21)

Who would have guessed that the Fantastic Mr. Beautiful would have beaten Jo Anna to the airport at a record time of one hour? It was truly a pleasure to be on the winning team.

The plane ride up went smoothly, and we easily got a shuttle once we landed in San Diego. We soon found ourselves at the Hilton Gaslamp and immersed in Phi Theta Kappa.

We spent Friday and Saturday in General Sessions listening to great speakers. Sheila and I put on some very successful breakout sessions about Honors In Action and Operation Green, and a good time was had by all. It was great to see all our friends from Nevada/California once again.

Booksale Numero Due

This time our booksale was held in the Campus Center. We were warm, had access to power outlets, and the food was right there. We had all new books courtesy of Sheila, and they went like hot cakes for a couple of hours.

In total we raised something along the lines of $148.

Good job to everyone that tabled, and everyone that bought books. Thank you!
