Veterans Beta Club
Let Us Lead by Serving Others
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
Due to the extraordinary circumstances we find ourselves in, the service requirement to maintain membership in the Veterans High School Beta Club has been waived for this school year. However, we would like to ask all of our members to still raise a minimum of $30 for the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life. This can be done through the internet. To do so, you will first need to go to https://secure.acsevents.org/site/STR/RelayForLife/RFLCY20SER?team_id=2510527&pg=team&fr_id=95855
and click on the "Join Our Team" button. Once you have joined our team, you can then share your page with friends and family that would be willing to donate to this worthy cause. Hope everyone is staying safe, washing your hands, and not touching your faces. Look forward to seeing you all again when we return to school!
