| Matt Frendewey `04 writes: I'm running a marathon for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) as a participant in their Team In Training program... and I need your help! I'm asking you to help by making a donation to my fundraising campaign and become one of my 65 sponsors by making a donation for only $52.50 ($2 a mile). That's right, for only $2 dollars a mile you can help find a cure for blood cancer and in return, I'll run a marathon (for the record this will be my first marathon... I'm a little nervous)! To join my team and sponsor me in this marathon, please visit http://pages.teamintraining.org/mi/cmc10/mfrendewey here you can easily and securely donate online and learn about my progress. I'm only asking for sponsors to donate $52.50 though I'd gladly accept more-or-less... any and all support helps! |

| Matt McCluskey `97 writes: I've made another move since last summer, but this time to our new house in Pennsylvania. I am still working for W. L. Gore & Associates (Gore-Tex) in Maryland. Three moves in 11 months will make you a bit crazy, but I hope we are settled for now. If any brothers are traveling in the Baltimore or Philly Area, look me up. -Matt McCluskey EG184 |

In February 2009, Jason Potter `99 (EG231) was named Account Executive, Suite Sales for the Houston Texans NFL franchise. Previously, Jason spent 6 years in NASCAR promoting events for their top 3 series (Sprint Cup, Nationwide Series and Camping World Truck Series) for International Speedway Corporation out of Daytona Beach , Florida. In 2005, Jason founded Dynamic Motorsports Consulting and helped several Fortune 500 companies enter NASCAR to promote their businesses to the most loyal fan base in sports. With his new role with the Houston Texans, Jason is responsible for 50% of the Texans revenue and looks forward to the new and exciting challenges that lie ahead. “I spent 10 years in NASCAR promoting the sport and continuously compared NASCAR to the NFL and most statistics showed, NASCAR was second only to the NFL, so to have the opportunity to work for America’s biggest sport and one of the NFL’s most successful football programs is a dream come true”, Potter expressed. “Although the economy is effecting many American’s, corporate America still needs to entertain and retain their customer base. Houston’s economy is still strong so I couldn’t have chosen a better team and city to showcase my talents”, Potter continued.

Steve Masters `90 writes: As many of you know I have been living in Michigan's Upper Peninsula for about 12 years now...time sure is flying. I have been recently elected Township Supervisor for Maple Ridge Township (Home of 2007 Miss Michigan Crystal Hayes!) My original margin of victory was a scant three votes. I would like to thank Beta Theta Pi, the three stars, and the brotherhood for their help in crafting me into the leader that I am today.

Eric Konopka `00 writes: My dog Rocky, the dog on the 2001 - 2002 composite, was sadly put to sleep. He had many great Beta memories, and I know many Betas had great stories that involved him as well. I am planning on making a trip back to the house to spread some of his ashes. The Beta house was where he shared some of his best memories. If anyone would like to attend, they can email me at ericjkonopka@hotmail.com for a time and date. We will probably head to the Bird after to share stories, drinks, and tears.
