To participate, you must post a picture on your Instagram sorry and use the hashtag #CNHDCON2021, and tag @cnh_dcon. This will increase the Shoot for the Stars Meter! By the end of the week, the executives and leadership team will be performing the dares that are reached.

If you are not a member of IHOP, you can make a minimum purchase of $10 to receive your free stack of pancakes. You can order online or go in person.

- Division Updates
- Division Goals 2020-2021: Progress
This is our last update regarding our status toward completing our Division goals (in the form of an email update). The definite total should be announced at April's banquet! (See below for more information).
- 5,609.51(?)/5,500 Service Hours [101.99%]
- The question mark signifies that the service hours are not exact (most likely to be more) due to secretaries not submitting the MRF, but regardless, we have surpassed it. (Please submit your MRFs if you haven't already so we can get you accounted for!)
- $2,141.77(?)/$2,000 for PTP [107.09%]
- The question mark signifies that the PTP funds are not exact (most likely to be more), but regardless, we have surpassed it!
- $603.10/$750 for MNT [80.41%]
- Charter at least (1) club [100%]
- As of November 9th, Jesse Bethel has been chartered and joined Division 8!
We've come a long way with our Division goals. Looking at where we are now, having surpassed and met three out of our four division goals, causes me to reflect on the beginning of the term. It was June, and we had only $76 fundraised for PTP. It troubled me how we could ever fundraise close to our initial goal of $3,500 for PTP. Now, look at us! Having fundraiser $2,000+ for PTP from a single club and from the Division alone :D Also, we surpassed our service hour goal by over 1,400 hours, that's insane!
Lastly, we raised over $600 for MNT. Fundraising for MNT was never in the initial goals for our Division, it sorta got tacked on along the way. Seeing as how we were able to fundraise for MNT while still accomplishing our other goals is a big feat in and of itself!

For our April DWS, we will create digital notes for one of our preferred charities, March of Dimes! This is the first service event for the 2021-2022 term, as well as the first service event that Miah has planned for the Division. I highly encourage you to attend! These notes of hope can be sent to a mom or dad to be or to a family with a baby currently in the NICU, as well as healthcare providers, nurses, and staff who are on the frontlines making sure that moms and babies are receiving the best possible care.
