Celebrating Freedom to Read at Kansas Library Association Conference 2022

Beta Epsilon chapter of Beta Phi Mu is happy to provide a sneak peak of our donation for the Raffle Baskets at the 2022 Kansas Library Association Conference taking place in Wichita on October 26-28.

Proceeds from the raffle will benefit The Kansas Library Association Educational Foundation (KLAEF) and provide both Continuing Education grants and Kansas Library Conference Mini-Grants for current members of the Kansas Library Association. The raffle baskets at KLA’s Annual Conference have been the main fundraising for KLAEF for many years.

Beta Epsilon’s basket is themed, Celebrating Freedom to Read and contains an assortment of several books which are currently being challenged or have been in the past along with a themed tote and mug. The collection also features Fireball Candies and Hammond Cinnamon Drops from The Pink Flamingo Candy Shop in McPherson, KS, miniature American flags, and a candle or two.

Have we peaked your interest? Please be certain to check out this basket at KLA Conference this year and support scholarships and grants for colleagues, the freedom to read, and Beta Epsilon chapter of Beta Phi Mu.

Support Beta Epsilon with annual membership fee

In order to remain financially responsible and to align with Beta Phi Mu’s national example to request financial commitment from current members, Beta Epsilon Chapter is announcing a change in our membership fee structure. Beta Epsilon requests that members remain active in the chapter by submitting an annual chapter membership fee of $12. This shift will allow our current and recent chapter members to support our ongoing programs and initiatives and hopefully add more sustainability to our finances.

Active members have the privilege of voting, holding office, and receiving member benefits as defined by Beta Phi Mu.

Chapter membership fees are separate from and in addition to national membership fees. They allow Beta Epsilon to provide local and relevant annual programs, support state Library Associations, and provide leadership opportunities.

For your convenience, you may pay with check, cash, or credit card. Annual Beta Epsilon chapter membership fees may be paid electronically on our PayPal Donate Page- at any time. We encourage members to consider supporting us annually during the fall when we plan our annual program.

If you wish to pay by check, please send an email to slimbetaepsilontreasurer@gmail.com

For your convenience, Beta Epsilon Treasurer, Jan Brooks will be available to accept Annual Membership fees at the Beta Phi Mu Annual Fall Program and Business Meeting taking place at the 2022 Kansas Library Conference in Wichita on October 28 at 9am in the Cypress A Classroom.

National Beta Phi Mu Membership fees may be paid on the Beta Phi Mu website.

Thank you kindly for your support of Beta Epsilon Chapter of Beta Phi Mu.
