September DCM | Project Warmth

With autumn quickly approaching, Key Clubs from Division 30S and Division 4N all gathered at Mile Square Park to participate in a service project. The theme DCM was project warmth, where all the key clubbers help make blankets that are going to be donated to St. Joseph Hospital.

It was a sunny afternoon as the members communed under the gazebo. The DCM started off with a meeting discussing upcoming and past events, as well as recognizing people and clubs who have done an amazing job during the past month. It was exhilarating to see many new faces and smiles. Looking around, I can see many new members with the look of excitement as well as apprehension, unsure of what to expect. The Key Clubbers then split into groups and where handed yards of fleece in which the blankets were going to be made out of. At first, there was a lot of confusion as members were unsure of what to do, but with the guidance of the DLT, things quickly fell into place. As the DCM progress, I was able to get to know more about the new members. I asked them about the reason they joined, they replied that they want to be more involved in their community. It is nice knowing that there are people who are willing to sacrifice their time to help others. The new members also seemed pretty excited about Fall Rally with is approaching quick.

The DCM was certainly a bonding as well as a learning experience. I got the opportunity to get to know the new members, and talk about my own experience of Key Club to them. Overall the DCM was an enjoyable event, and I hope that all the new Key Clubbers had a great time. Hopefully this experience will empower them to be more involved within their home club and strive to make a difference within their community.
