The fantastic Western Wisconsin Technical College Phi Theta
Kappa chapter (Beta Nu Chi!) joined the Better World Books team to run a book
drive in support of Room to Read in the Spring of 2006. The drive went
well and they collected 24 cartons of books. But they had just
begun. By coordinating with other college bookstores in the La Crosse
area, the group was able to nearly double their Spring 06 output in this Fall
drive (the Fall semester is usually trumped by the Spring semester 2 to 1!),
collecting an astounding 47 cartons! BWB Fall semester drives ended last
week on February 15th and the group notified me they had collected
an additional 26 cartons of books- a great start for the Spring semester!
Headed by advisor Linda Duffy, the amazing students of the Beta Nu Chi chapter
are going to use their Fall scholarship check to help offset their traveling
expenses to the April
International Phi Theta Kappa convention ;
this y ear being held in Nashville, TN.
Great work Beta Nu Chi!
