Beta Theta - Horton
Beta Theta has Celebrated 65 years in ESA. Beta Theta was chartered on August 19, 1946. When Charlene Hanson (who submitted this information) joined in 1951 they were knitting bandages for the military. It started because one of the members had someone in the medical corp. They were doing size I or 2 needles. Charlene and another member joined at that time and neither one knew how to knit. The members were so dedicated that one of them stopped by her house every night after work for six weeks to take out my messes, when it suddenly hit me that I knew what I was doing. The bandage was passed around to a different member once a week and of courses we all knit alike, and you could tell where each person started and stopped. The bandages were approximately 6-7” wide and 36” long. They did five over a period of time and they were well received. They still knit hats, mittens and other items to this day. Congratulations Beta Theta!
