Hello I-I Circle K Members!
I hope you had a great Thanksgiving! I enjoyed
having the opportunity to meet many of you at the
Leadership Training Retreat in late October and I
hope your club is getting ready for Holiday
Embrace/Winter Escape as well as District
Convention! This fall has been crazy busy not only
doing service and attending events (and school
sometimes), but also promoting Prematurity
Awareness Month and Kiwanis Family Month thispast November. If you have not been to a Kiwanis
meeting yet this year now is the time to go! During
the holidays is a great chance to get to know what
your community needs are all about and the K-
Family working together can help the communitys
needs. With Christmas break coming up and
students going home on break try to get in touch
with a local Kiwanis club to still help out the
community while you are home! Thank you for
everything that you do for your school and
community.
In service, leadership, and fellowship,
Ashley Wolfe
I-I Circle K Governor

LETTER FROM THE GOVERNOR

North Central College is extremely blessed to be
sponsored by a wonderful Kiwanis group.
CKI Sponsor, Naperville Evening Kiwanis President, Walt
Kelly, presents a sponsorship check to North Central College
CKI members Desury Paredes (President of NCC CKI), Adam
Lopinsky (Past Vice-President and CKI Alumnus), Megan
Schomaker (member and I-I District Kiwanis Family Relations
Committee Chair), and Maci Mitchell (member and I-I District
Secretary and Spastic Paralysis Chair).
Once again our Naperville Evening Kiwanis Family
showed their love, but most importantly their support when
they presented North Central College CKI with a check that
was to pay for their International Dues. North Central College
also continues to show Naperville Evening Kiwanis support, as
CKI members helped with Peanut Days in mid-September,
and attend weekly Kiwanis Meetings every Mondays.
When one door of
happiness closes, anotheropens, but often we look so
long at the closed door tha
we do not see the one that
has been opened for us.

Trick or Treat for the Homeless
Every year on October 31st, or Halloween night, North Central College plans, coordinates,
and executes an event that allows us to join forces with our Naperville community to help out a
local food pantry. Our event, Trick or Treat for the Homeless consists of inviting the college student
body to not only "Trick or Treat" during this fun holiday, but also to ask homeowners in our
community if they would like to donate non-perishable food items for a food pantry of our
choice.
This year, we chose to collaborate with Little Friends' food pantry. Little Friends is a private,
non-profit organization serving children and adults with autism and other developmental
disabilities. Despite the weather (tons of rain, heavy wind, and chilly breezes), over 30 volunteers
joined us at this great cause. After nearly 3 hours of Trick or Treating, our volunteers receivedcandy to last for weeks and the Naperville Community donated more food than ever before!
Not only did we partner up with CKI Alumni (Adam Lopinsky and Nora Beswick), non-CKI
members, and the entire community at this event, but we also had a small interclub, as 3
members from Northern Illinois University's CKI joined us! Thank you Ryan Balentyne (Northern
Division LTG), Stephanie Norman, and Katelyn Shields for helping us collect donations!
Whether you think
you can or you think
you cant, youre
right.

Feed My Starving Children
North Central College's CKI started off celebrating Kiwanis Family
Month extremely strong! On November 13th an Interclub was created
alongside Naperville North High School's Key Club were bothorganizations combined leadership, fellowship, and service at Feed
My Starving Children.
The amount of volunteers, both K-Family and non, was outstanding!
There was certainly over 100 people there, and a little over 1/5 of
those volunteers were CKI and Key Club. With everyone's help it turned
out to be an extremely successful night were 118 boxes were packed,
thus resulting in 70 children being fed in one year. This night was
particularly special since a large portion of the boxes packed would
be going to the Philippines in order to support those affected by
typhoon Haiyan.
We were just shy of 1 person of creating an Interclub with DePaul
University; regardless, we absolutely loved having John Touhy with us!
Thank you for driving out to Naperville all the way from Chicago!
K-Family Month or not, we vow to create more Interclubs to enhance
our companionship with our K-Family! Stay tuned... we'll be having
another Interclub on November 22nd with Metea Valley High School's
Key Club AND Naperville-Evening Kiwanis!
