A report was given on the Beta Sigma Phi City Council Meeting held Sept. 1 at Cape Girardeau Public Library. Five chapters were represented. City council will retain the same officers. The council will again sponsor an all-chapter service project. All chapters are to submit their project at the Jan. 5 council meeting. The next council meeting will be Nov. 3.

Several service projects were discussed including Birthright, the Missouri Veteran's Home, Ugly Quilts, and Safe House for Women.

The program was presented by Belote. Each member was given one minute to prepare and three minutes to share anything memorable that happened in their life over the summer.
