Rose Petals Deadline Extended - Resubmissions Requested
Dear Members of Phi Beta Fraternity,
It is with great honor I came to join our organization in 1999, only 9 years ago. In that time, I served as my collegiate chapter President and four years as National VP of Collegiates. Last convention, I accepted the National Editor position, and have been struggling to produce quality materials for all of Phi Beta.
I have endured my share of personal and professional trauma and happenings over the last year and a half, since our 2006 convention where I was sworn into office. Fortunately, I was able to produce the most recent issue of the Rose Petals this past summer, but sadly, due to my moves around Columbus, Ohio, missed out on some of the
non-electronic (postal mail) submissions. Currently, I am in the midst of compiling the next issue of Rose Petals, so that you may all get excited about our upcoming 2008 Convention in Williamsburg, Virginia!
It is with heavy heart I write about yet another setback. While at dinner on Monday, January 14, my car was broken into, and my laptop was stolen. I have reported the incident to all necessary parties, but there is little hope of return. While I still have all articles submitted to me via email, again, I have no hard copies of articles or reports from chapters that submitted materials via US Postal Mail. This includes submissions for Rose Petals and the Baton. This includes both hand written letters and photographs.
Sadly, I must request that any submissions made non-electronically be resubmitted as soon as possible. I hope that this will give other chapters a 'last minute' opportunity to submit even if they have not yet turned in a chapter report or feature article. I also hope that many more of our artistic members nationwide will be interested in
posting a small (and inexpensive!) advertisement for this publication. Or if you are interested in updating your chapter report, please do!
I vow to do my best in the production of this winter's Rose Petals (including convention registration information due in June) as well as our upcoming Baton issue which I hope to print by the start of May. Rose Petals submissions are now due January 31 to editor (at) phibeta (dot) com and Baton features by February 22. Ads for those publications have the same deadlines.
Love in Phi Beta,
Julia Cline
National Editor
