I joined the Campbell River Kinsmen Club in February 2016. The next

Kin year I got talked into being the Membership Director and I was

every year until 3 years ago when I became the President of our Club. I

was President for 3 years and Deputy Governor for the Island Zone as

well last year.

When I joined I was very shy and couldn’t imagine standing in front of a

group of people talking. Kinsmen really has given me a lot of personal

growth. It started slowly for me as the membership director talking for

a quick few minutes at every meeting and then as president I obviously

have to talk a lot more at meetings. This is where I really grew and it

gave me the confidence to go to the next level which is Deputy

Governor.

This role has helped me to learn more about Kin Canada and how

things run as well as to meet even more of my fellow Kin. I’m so glad

that I made the decision to join Kinsmen not only for the personal

growth that it has given me but also for all the friends that I have made

through it and of course the greatest reward is knowing what I have

done with this organization to help make my community a better place.

We have raised lots of money and helped lots of people and it’s a great

feeling to be able to help those that need it.
