High school in 2010 and I have experience doing community service around this area. What I love most about this club are the amazing people who are committed to helping others out of the goodness of their hearts. We might all be from different places and have our own stories but one thing we all have in common is that we are committed to helping others through community service. Every time I volunteer
I feel humbled and happy to be around you all while encour-aging others to get involved. Also, we need to get more guys involved in this club, so ladies if you know any guys who are as excited as I am about service please tell them how awe-some our club is and that they should join. I hope everyone has a swell semester and can make room in their busy sched-ules to get in some CKI service
hours.
Love, Shvan“Live to Serve. Love to Serve.”

ServiceLivestock ShowCatherine Belous
Volunteering at the Rockingham County Livestock Show was a blast. We worked with Kiwanis members to sell food at the Rockingham County Fairgrounds. From the great company of the Kiwanis members to getting to see all the livestock, it was a great afternoon. The Kiwanis members were so friendly and welcoming. They helped make the experience really enjoyable and full of laughter. It was my first time at a livestock show and I was full of questions. Everyone purchasing food was so friendly and more than willing to answer my questions about the show. At the end of the day we walked around the barn
trying to sell the little bit of food we had left. It was awesome getting to see all the beautiful cows and bulls. It was a great afternoon spent volunteering, getting to know Kiwanis members and learning about livestock.

Football ConcessionsEmily Hsu
Saturday the 13th, a bunch of us got together to work football concessions for the JMU v. William and Mary game. It was a chilly but fun and eventful afternoon. We were in charge of helping sell concessions by “hawking” in the lower level home sec-tion of football stadium. “Hawking”, a concept I’d seen multiple times at football and baseball games but never knew the name of involves carrying large insulated back-packs and trays that carried everything from hot cocoa to hot dogs while walking up and down the stands to sell them to JMU’s fans in the stands. I’m used to sitting in the student section so getting to see everything from the other side of the stadium was amazing. Our football stadium is truly one of a kind so it was a good opportunity to be able to explore the stadium from a different side. Hawking was definitely an experi-ence that I won’t be likily to forget soon.
Football Concessions Take 2Emily Benusa
The familiarity of old friends and alumni scattered JMU’s campus with excited anticipation for the Duke’s Homecoming game against Georgia State. As our second fundraiser of the year, CKI participated in its second Football Concessions. We were thankful that we were able to be inside the small cozy coke trailer since it rained for the beginning part of the morning. With two cashiers and three runners, we were able to efficiently hand out all sorts of goodies to dedicated foot-ball fans. We even managed to have a little fun!! Participating in service events is what Circle K is all about and I love doing it with our amazing members and having a blast.

Cows, Corn Mazes and Pumpkins!
Sunday October 14th we journeyed to Back Home on the Farm, pumped for autumn adventures, taking turns
posing in scarecrow cut outs, feeding hungry, hungry goats and petting horses and cows! After watching an
exhilarating pig race, won by Sponge “Hog” Square Pants, we began on a race of our own. We embarked on a cir-
cuitous maze filled with of corn-y trivia, twists and turns, and dead ends. After reaching clue seven, we knew we
were closer to the end. The teams raced on competitively, risking unmarked turns for the chance of a short cut. For
results on who won, well, that depends on who you ask.

For Circle K’s In House Service Project for the month of October we made Purple Rib-
bons in support of Alzheimers Walk. We were able to make over 100 ribbons and
give them out to students at JMU!
