Making Tie-Blankets with Builders Club

A few months ago, my home club (University of Wisconsin-Madison Circle K) visited a local Builders Club that we've never met before at one of their meetings. This club was extremely energetic with an equally passionate faculty member for all things service and Kiwanis! 

Four members from my club (including myself) brought huge sheets of fleece to their meeting and was able to bond together over cutting and tying the fleece into blankets to be donated. We were able to learn a lot about them; we watched a video advertisement they filmed themselves to promote the huge food drive they hosted at their middle school and played a ton of fun games with them. We also taught them a lot about Circle K during a Q&A session where they asked us seemingly endless questions about what college was like, how we joined Circle K, what it was like and so much more.

These kids were incredible and I cannot wait to see them join Key Club, Circle K and Kiwanis when they grow older. I hope the rest of you can do something similar with the Builders Clubs nearest you as well!
