Jesus Lara, Founder and CEO, Amusse

For Jesus Lara, music and TV played an essential role in being bicultural and bilingual.

"“Growing up in Latin America myself, I remember clearly buying and listening to U2 records and reading the lyrics to the songs as the songs were playing," explained Lara, who is now the founder and CEO of a new language learning product called Amusse.

BGS MEMBERS UNITE!
The time to jump in and sign up for the BGS Gives Back Day of Service has officially begun!

You may already have October 27th on your radar. If you do, then you might be thinking of a project to do for the BGS Day of Service. The next step is committing to serve that day, detailed below. If you didn’t have this on your radar, this is a great opportunity to join us in doing at least one thing to celebrate our Centennial year and also to connect with your BGS or personal community. We’re asking that members coordinate a group of other members, family, friends, or colleagues to serve on or around October 27th.

You can now register the service activity you will be doing right on the Tuttidaré website. The first step is to pick a point person for your event and have that person add the event to our database. Don't remember how to log into your account on Tuttidaré? Click here. Want to know how to create a special event that you'll be doing during October? W've got an awesome walk-you-through-it tutorial here.

Here are just a few organizations we've thought of to find volunteer opportunities: Points of Light, Red Cross Blood Drive, or Hands On Network.

You can give back to the community however you see fit, but we want to rally around our communities for at least one day in honor of the Centennial. Will you join us, even if it's just for a few hours?

Start a dialogue with the Central Office about your ideas, to ask for guidance, or to trouble shoot registering. Natalie Oesch (noesch@betagammasigma.org) is at your disposal.

Attention BGS Members:
As an extra incentive to "Give Back," all BGS members who log their our hours on Tuttidaré will be entered into a drawing for an IdeaPad Tablet courtesy of Lenovo.

Log in today and BGS and Lenovo could soon be giving back to you!

The IdeaPad Tablet A1 is a compact yet rugged multimedia device that runs on the Android™ 2.3 operating system. Optimized for entertainment, the 7" A1 gives you the brilliant graphics and processing muscle you need to connect in style.
