Before everyone went home for Thanksgiving break, our wonderful social chair Ellyn planned a Thanksgiving progressive dinner!  Cardinal Keys went from house to house enjoying Thanksgiving appetizers, dessert and of course turkey.  Yummy!  Thanks Ellyn!

Day of Dads

On November 8th Dads traveled from near and far to enjoy the day with their Cardinal Key daughters!  We loved having our dads in town to show them what Cardinal Keys like to do most: spend time to together, serve together, eat together, and support Truman together!

Trick or Treating Cardinal Key Style

All over Kirksville this Halloween, Truman Cardinal Keys participated in our annual “Trick or treat, save your sweets” fundraiser for JDRF.  We went around to local homes asking for donations, in the hope that kids with diabetes will be able to enjoy the candy they receive on Halloween someday.  In 1.5 hours we were able to raise over $600!!!!! We are so thankful to be a part of such a giving community!

2013 National Conference

Members of the Truman CK chapter attended the National Conference in Chicago-October 5-8.  The theme of this year’s conference was “Creating Connections” and Morgan Schmitz, Lara Redmond, Shelby Pieper and Advisor Liz Jorn attended workshops on fundraising, JDRF, recruitment, reports and social media.  Attendees also volunteered at the Ron Santo Walk to Cure Diabetes which had over 7000 walkers and raised over $1.1 million. Also in attendance were Truman alumni, which included Devin Lammy (National Co-Director), Rachel Marx, Kirsten Vollmer, Baillie Cloyd and Gretchen Smiles.  On the last day of the conference elections were held for new national officers and there was a closing banquet celebrating the accomplishments of all the Ck chapters. Shelby was voted in as the new National President and Morgan as Vice President. Congrats Shelby and Morgan!
