Eileen Rodriguez | ’20-’21 Director of Publicity During the month of November, Division 30 South held their monthly Division Council Meeting. DCMs are where our division, consisting of Whitney High School and 12 schools nearby us, come together to get key club updates, such as fundraising and upcoming events, and to see other members get recognized for all the effort they've put into Key Club. For the month of November, in the spirit of Thanksgiving, the DCM was known as Division 30 South’s Keys-Giving. The November DCM took place from 3:30-4:30 on the 21st. It began with our pledges and then continued on to talk about fundraising and all that different schools are doing to raise money and awareness for PTP. The Pediatric Trauma Program is one of our division’s main charity focuses and is based on helping children overcome trauma. We then talked about upcoming events and continued on to recognition. This month, Key Club was awarded Second Shining Club of the Month! By 4:00, all the updates and recognition had been completed and we had started a service activity. For this DCM’s service activity, we wrote letters of love to seniors. Personally, I decided to give my letter a hint of Thanksgiving spirit and talked about all there is to be grateful for in the world. As our division was busy making our letters, we listened to music and enjoyed the presence of other dedicated Key Club members. This DCM was only an hour long but we all got a lot done and not only got updates and spent time with D30S but we also got the opportunity to do a service activity. If you did not have a chance to experience this year’s Keysgiving be sure to come out for our division’s December DCM!
