Lich built a headboard and won first place at the Kentucky Beta Convention in January and entered the headboard at the National Convention and was awarded first place. He competed against students from all across the nation.

Joy Curtis, Beta Club Sponsor for ECHS, said the Kentucky Beta Convention will be held in January 2023 and the National Beta Convention will be held in June 2023; both will be held in Louisville. "After school begins, there will be an interest meeting to join Beta Club and begin planning for the State and National Conventions," she said.

Cam is the son of Stuart and Amanda Lich of Windyville.
