On Friday, February 6th, my mom, little brother and I drove north to Russleville, Missouri for a Junior Beta Rally at the Cole County Middle School! They're starting a brand new Junior Beta Club!
Mr. Jerry Hobbs, our State Council Chair, is the superintendent of the Cole County school district and invited me to speak to their Middle School about my experience with Beta. I talked about my experiences at convention in competitions, running for office and making a lot of friends. I highlighted some of the service projects my club at Malden has done this year. Mr. Doyel, our Senior State Sponsor, was there as well, and he talked about the history of Missouri Beta and our core values of character, achievement and leadership. Mr. Hobbs passed out information about their upcoming meeting and general information about the National Junior Beta Club. After, we had a time for the students to ask questions; that was the most fun part for me! I loved getting to interact one-on-one with all of those potential Betas!
The Junior Beta Rally was a complete success; I'm so glad that I had the chance to come! Thank you to Mr. Hobbs and the Cole County Betas-to-Be for having me! Good luck to the new Betas and their sponsors!

Home from Hot Springs!
Hey Betas! I'm happy to report that I've made it home from the Arkansas Beta Convention! Let me tell you, Arkansas has a lot to be proud of! For starters, practically every school made the trek to Hot Springs, even through the ice and snow! Plus, the arts, talent and campaigns were all superb-- I was so glad I didn't have to judge!
Six officers visited from out of state, and the three Arkansas Officers put on a wonderful convention for us. Zack Lynch, Hunter Cabe and Karissa Musser have worked so hard all year, and it certainly showed.
Chris Bowman, the Tennessee and National Secretary spoke at the first session; his speech was hilarious and had a great message. I always look forward to hearing him speak! Donnie Thurman, a past National Officer and BLC counselor, was the guest speaker on Saturday morning. It was great to see him, and, as always, he did a terrific job!
I got to speak at Hunter's session Saturday night. Over the past six or seven months, Hunter Cabe and I have become very close; he's one of my best friends, and I was so honored to speak at his session! He made it hard on me though; His keynote was amazing! Titled "Heaven on Earth," he took Hot Springs to church!! He did a spectacular job; it was a hard act to follow!
I'd like to congratulate the three newly elected incoming officers Trey, Kenny and Sloane. Also, thank you Greenwood Beta Club! They provided me a room during the convention. You guys were so much fun and I appreciate the hospitality!
As many of you know, the ice storm that rolled though Missouri has closed a lot of schools and left a lot of us without power. While Malden is slowly getting electricity back, it will be a while before we'll be at school. I hope everyone is staying safe and staying warm!
