It's already October and fall is moving into the area. It's hard to believe that we have already had a month of Club M.

We started a Twitter contest for our mentors and our September winner was an IWC Mentor who had 11 retweets. We are starting over again for the month of October and we are actively looking to engage more of our mentors with our Twitter account.

Club M celebrated Iowa Wesleyan College's Homecoming by decorating one of the windows outside of ISU Extension and Outreach on Main Street where Club M is located and by having a group of mentors and mentees join us in the Homecoming Parade. We had a zoo themed float that tied into the theme of "Welcome to the Jungle." We had a great time recognizing the work of our IWC Mentors by celebrating the week with them. Congratulations goes out to all our mentors who were Homecoming Royalty this year!

On October 1st, Club M took the week off to allow our youth mentees and our high school mentors the opportunity to enjoy their Homecoming weeks in both Winfield-Mount Union and Mount Pleasant but we were back to Club M on October 8th. 

The Staff of Club M took a trip to West Des Moines on October 6th and 7th for the Iowa Mentoring Partnership Fall Conference to continue our professional development and we hope to bring back what we've learned to continue to strengthen our program.

Important Event Notice: Club M and Iowa Wesleyan College are holding its first collaborative community clean-up event on Sunday, October 26th, 2014 from 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm at the United Thru Play Playground at the location of the former Saunders School as part of Make A Difference Day! Make A Difference Day is a national day of service movement that occurs that weekend in October. We would love to invite all of our mentees and their families to come join us as we clean-up a park that is important to our youth in the community.
