THE BULLETIN BOARD – MEMBER OF THE MONTH
Member of the Month October: Cara McDonald
Cara is our member of the month for October. Cara is one of our new members and we are so glad to have her be apart of the club! While she was not involved with any Kiwanis branch before attending OU, she has shown so much love for the club by attending as many service events as she can! When asked what her favorite service project has been so far, Cara said, “The Kids Against Hunger event has been my favorite event for sure and I am really excited to do it again this weekend. I really loved Fall Rally too.”
