Although Beta is primarily a service organization this year the majority of the Beta projects have been money-making projects which were needed to pay for the BIG convention in Washington. The project which the Beta Club is most proud of is the Christmas Basket project. Each Beta member contributes food and the baskets are distributed to the needy families in Arnett. Other projects were the coke machine, Valentines Cookies, Beta Dinner, and Grade School Basketball Tournament. Pres Greg, V Pres Tom, Sec LaDeana.
