Idea Fair
Family & Friends Service Day
How has this idea enhanced your club's operation, etc.?
At Hillcrest Country Club, our commitment to community service and philanthropy stands as the cornerstone of our membership values. With immense pride, our members actively contribute to the well-being of our communities through a variety of initiatives. In a remarkable display of generosity, more than 50 dedicated member volunteers invested their afternoon in enhancing a local Middle School. They lent their artistic talents to paint inspirational murals, creating a vibrant and uplifting environment for the students. The program was a massive success, prompting us to institute quarterly Community Service Days. These special occasions empower our members to consistently and meaningfully support the local community.
How was this idea implemented, and what have been the club members' reactions?
Our Club is run in collaboration with the 19 various Committees and Club management. One of such, the Community Activities Committee, spearheads all of our philanthropy recognition awards and community outreach programs for our membership. Since the massive success of our first "Service Day", we now offer quarterly scheduled programs that members may partake in, and we even allow them to apply these community service hours to their strict membership requirements. They thoroughly enjoy having the opportunity to not only engage with and support the local communities but also connect with each other on a deeper level, all while sharing in the spirit of what it truly means to be a member of Hillcrest Country Club.
