Beta Clubs are formed in many schools to give their members an opportunity to learn leadership skills, service to the community and technological capabilities. The Staff Advisor to the Millstadt School Beta Club is Ms. Nicole Wilson.

Doug Clements, President of BBBSil said: "Our dedicated staff work all year to guide our 'Littles' to a better future. Giving them this fun event every holiday season is a part of that process. The Millstadt Beta Club members really help a lot so that all of our children can enjoy this experience and have an enjoyable evening learning to skate."

Big Brothers Big Sisters Southwestern lllinois is one of dozens of branches of Big Brothers Big Sisters worldwide.
