On Friday, Decemeber 5th, 2008, 1,500 Junior Betas from around the state travelled to Poplar Bluff, Missouri for the Sixth Annual Missouri Junior Beta Convention.It was a very, very busy day for me, so sadly, I didn't get to spend a lot of time talking and meeting people, but we all had a great time! It was great getting to see Mama Anderson, Mrs. Judy (Cummings, the Junior National Sponsor) and Mr. Stribling (Assistant Executive Director) again!
Collin, Jonathan and I were there to offer a helping hand. We had fun helping with door prizes, bingo and Living Literature. Let me tell you though, those Junior Betas were so energetic! I started the day wearing my favorite black heels, and by lunch, I was in the flats I had put in my purse just in case!
The picture I added is of the Malden Junior Beta Club after their group talent win; This year was my little brother's first year in Beta! Darren has been going to Beta practices and conventions with me ever since I joined, but I was really proud to watch him perform at his own convention.
Plus, my neighbor, Sara Wilson, the Missouri Junior Vice President got to preside over her convention this year. She did great! I was also impressed by all the talents and art displays-- I was really glad I didn't have to judge!
I also want to offer my congratulations to the newly elected officers: Ben Story, Michael Babusa, Harley Durall, Makayla LeGrand, Mia Jones. Also, congrats to all the art and academic winners!
Junior Beta's Convention just made me that much more excited for the Senior Convention in March! Any ideas or changes you want to see at convention this year? Shoot me an email!
Take care and stay warm!
