Hello Subregion A!

It’s hard to believe that it’s been 9 months since being your Subregion A Trustee. Throughout my year, I’ve learned so much and I’ve been having a fun time serving each and everyone of you. My travels to the Pacific Northwest, Utah-Idaho, and Western Canada Districts were great and I was so glad meeting a lot of you at your District Conventions. Each one was unique in its own way and I’d like to thank each District for hosting me during the trip. Unfortunately, since DCON season is over, it means that the Circle K year is coming to a close. With that, I would like to thank all the 2014-2015 District Officers and Club Officers for all the hard work they’ve done whether serving for the District or Club levels. You should be proud with what you accomplished throughout your term. I’d like to especially thank the 2014-2015 District Governors of Subregion A Sarah LaPierre, Emma Betz, Jocelyn Elvira, and Cedrick Mah for putting up with me and working hard this year. You’re districts have grown and I can’t wait to see how each District grows in the upcoming year. With the Circle K year coming to a close, a new one arises. With that, I would like to congratulate all the District Officers and Club officers who were elected to serve their District or Club for the 2015-2016 year. If I would have to give one advice to you all, it would be to ask for help when you can. If there is something you don’t know what to do or need help on, don’t hesitate to ask someone who might know the answer or ask someone for help. I also want to give a huge shoutout to the 2015-2016 District Governors of Subregion A Matt Foster, Alex Switzer, Elizabeth Kwan, and Shirasa Prajapati for being elected. Although some of you may be scared to serve your term as District Governor, I will make sure the transition process goes smoothly and help you out with the 3 months I have left. I’m excited to see what the 2015-2016 year has in store for Subregion A. Finally, I would like to thank the Circle K members for being apart of such a wonderful organization. You all inspire me to serve to the best of my ability and without you all, the organization wouldn’t be where it is now. I hope that each and every one of you continue staying in this organization whether it’s doing service, taking on leadership positions, and making memories with the people you meet. With that, I am motivated to work harder every single day as your Subregion A trustee and I hope that I can meet some of you at CKIx 2015 during the summer. It’s definitely the event you don’t want to miss as it’s in conjunction with the Kiwanis Centennial Celebration. See you all soon hopefully and continue serving in this wonderful organization!

In love and Service,

Tyson Diep Subregion A Trustee Circle K International

A-W-E, S-O-M-E, awesome awesome is what we are, we’re the Subregion A superstars!

Hello Subregion A!

My name is Kathy Le and for the 2014 – 2015 year I have the opportunity to serve as your Circle K International President. I currently attend the University of Alberta in the Western Canada District and am pursuing a Bachelor’s of Science in a Specialization in Psychology. For the past four years that I have been a member of Circle K, I have served on the club and international level of our organization with an emphasis on service. Having previously served as Subregion A Trustee for two terms, the four districts that make up our wonderful subregion have truly been my home and has inspired me to become the servant leader that I am today.

Subregion A is unique because we are the largest geographical subregion and span over two countries: Canada and the United States. Our subregion is comprised of Montana, Pacific Northwest, Utah-Idaho, and Western Canada, which all have their own strengths and areas of improvement. Although we are small in members, we definitely are not lacking in the service that we do, the money that we fundraise, the commitment that we hold, and the time that we donate to better our communities. As well, I have seen nothing but exceptional leaders on both the club and district levels that I know have contributed to the growth within our subregion that you see today. Each and every member has played a role in helping CKI thrive and I would like to personally thank everyone for their dedication and passion in helping others.

This past year I have had the chance to learn more about the districts beyond Circle K, work with a board of trustees that oversee every district and club, and guide international committees and task forces to help serve you better. I have really enjoyed working with my Kiwanis family counterparts to learn more about our other branches and strengthening these bonds. On the International Board I wear many hats such as chair of the board, counsellor to our district governors, and liaison to our committees and task forces, and these are all balanced with my duties as a CKI member. I am motivated to work harder every single day as your International President knowing that every member is doing the same to benefit their club. Circle K International has given me an unforgettable experience and leadership journey that I hope will do the same for you.

Whether Circle K has given you happy memories, forever friends, the skills to lead, or the chance to serve, I hope that you have all benefited from your experience in the world’s largest student-led collegiate service organization. Congratulations to all of the newly elected club and district officers and I look forward to all of the amazing accomplishments you’ll make over the 2015 – 2016 year. We all have something to offer the world so together let’s continue living and loving to serve!

Yours in Service and Smiles, Kathy Le 2014 – 2015 International President Circle K International

Hello everyone! My name is Matt Foster and I’m the newly elected Montana District Governor. I’m 26 years old and a Computer Science and Software Engineering major from Montana Tech in Butte, Montana. I’m from Kalispell, Montana. I’ve been in the K- Family for 4 years all in Circle K. I was brought into the club by a friend and shortly after was elected to the Board of Officers. I think of myself as a driven person that can take a vision and make it happen. I don’t know what makes me so passionate about service other than the world needs more people that care about other people.

Hello everyone! My name is Shirasa Prajapati and I will be serving as the District Governor for the Western Canada District CKI for the year 2015-2016. I had never actually thought I would be in this position when I first joined the club. But I am very grateful that I have had the opportunity to learn and grow through my involvement with CKI so far. As I continue to work with CKI, I hope to work in building a stronger district. With a new club being established this past year, I hope to continue in expanding the district. I am very excited to work with the other District Board members and with the clubs to assist them in any way possible. I look forward to and exciting new CKI year.

Hello everyone! I’m Alex Switzer, and I’m the newly elected Governor for the mighty Pacific Northwest District! I’m so excited to have the opportunity to serve all of my fellow CKIers this upcoming year. I’ve been involved with the Kiwanis Family for six years, first in Key Club. I’ve had the opportunity to serve at all levels of the organization, as Club President and Lt. Governor, as well as serving on International Committees for both CKI and Key Club! This past year, I served as the PNW District Secretary, and along with my board, we saw the PNW reach new heights and soar more than ever before! This year, I would love to see new growth. The PNW is on the brink of expanding into every bit of our district! Along with that, I’m hoping to increase the Kiwanis Family involvement, and let our members know about all that the K-Family has to offer! This is going to be an exciting year, and I can’t wait!

Hey everyone! My name is Elizabeth Kwan and I’m the Utah-Idaho District Governor. This is my fourth year in the K-Family and it’s been an incredible journey. The last three years were filled with epic Key Club adventures and serving on the district board. This year, I helped my home Circle K club at the University of Utah charter and I wanted to take part in developing the district. I’m excited to meet new people, work with the rest of the K-Family, and have lots of fun with new projects (catfe, anyone?). Outside of Circle K, I work part-time at a prosecutor’s office and play the violin. In my free time, I like to build blanket forts and color or play video games. I also love to eat fried chicken and it’s not fun alone, so feel free to join me and it’ll be flabulous.

When I first joined Circle K at Washington State University I was very hesitant. I didn’t know anyone in the club and I wasn’t even a key club member in high school. The reason I joined is because someone pressured me into it.

At the very first meeting of the new school year the Seahawks were playing the Packers. I did not want to attend that first meeting, but I forced myself. I was very ethnocentric and unwilling to immerse myself into the culture of the club, so I sat in the back and watched the game on my phone. During the next couple of weeks I did the bare minimal in CKI, but it would soon start to change.

At one of the first service projects I attended, everyone I met was extremely friendly and inviting. The club welcomed me with open arms and it felt like I had been friends with everyone for years. As the weeks passed I started hanging out with other club members outside of service projects and meetings. Since then the club has become a second family to me.

When I first joined, I had the preconceived notion that CKI was just a community service club. But it is so much more. I have met some of my best friends at WSU through CKI, and the bond I have with them is lifelong. CKI has shown me the joy of helping the community and having fun while doing it. I love this club so much that I want to be involved in any way I can. As of right now, I am about to begin my first term of club treasurer. I cannot wait to see what more this club has to offer in the future.

CKI, let’s go places

Cells are the smallest functional units of life, and adventures are life’s grandest enriching elements. My aspiration to venture spurted along the bold age of 20 after a few years spent without my family in a foreign country. When I left home at 16 for an education in the US, I was a painfully fearful youngster. I didn’t dare do anything beyond the expected. My daily activities comprised principally of attending school and “venturing” home only to continue with more schoolwork. On rare occasions the itinerary extended to frozen yogurt or boba tea, and that was off-the-chart scandalous!

Six years flew by. I have changed addresses three times and have grown accustomed to living out of suitcases. Somewhere along the packing and unpacking, I left behind fear. I realized what a privileged position I was in to be running around the world, constantly chasing new perspectives. On my quest to seek for new experiences, CKI incidentally became a gateway.

I first picked an interest in CKI half way through my freshman year. The club president had sent out an email calling all students who were interested in Hospice to come to the upcoming meeting. I didn’t know what CKI was, but Hospice sounded like an opportunity that aligned with my career goal, so I showed up. I didn’t get to participate in Hospice. Nonetheless I was excited to have a glimpse of what CKI did. I realized what amazing experiences I would gain if I was a part of the organization.

Being a member of CKI, I feel motivated to engage in the local communities, contribute efforts in improving the quality of life around me, and become a reliable support to others. At the personal level, CKI presents an opportunity for me to work on my confidence. After one and a half years in CKI, I experienced, for the first time, the pleasant surprise of failing to convince a new friend that I was shy. I have soon realized CKI is a safe environment where I can experiment and discover my weaknesses and strengths. It was an inexplicably incredible feeling to finally see possibilities where I used to only see restrictions. All in all, CKI has awoken in me a leader, an entertainer, and a true friend.

President of The Circle K Club at The College of Idaho

Hi there. My name is Sophia Huang and I am currently a first year student studying elementary education at the University of Alberta. Ever since I was young, I would say helping others/volunteering has always been an integral part of my life. Whether it was staying in at recess to help in the school library, being a reading mentor, volunteering at local festivals or in-school events, etc., I happily offered my time and service as volunteering quickly became one of my utmost favourite hobbies. At the beginning of my first semester, I remember roaming around the U of A’s Clubs Fair, being extremely eager to sign up for anything that involved volunteering, especially if the club supported a charity/organization that I was aware of. Let me just say that at that point, I had no idea what Circle K International was about prior to that day but with my cousin being one of the VPs of the club, sign up was somewhat inevitable for me. Although, I admit, that was probably not the greatest origin story, I have to say that without a doubt in my mind, joining Circle K was truly the best decision I have made during my entire time in university and CKI continues to be my favourite aspect of school. To have gotten the chance to be introduced to a club that holds service as one of its core tenets makes me so unbelievably grateful because the club encompasses an essential component of my life that I hold dear. In the past when I volunteered, it was mainly about supporting the cause by following the instructions and jobs given by the fundraiser organizers'. Now volunteering has evolved into not only that but through CKI, it also includes more leadership roles where I can play a bigger part in planning events that help a greater good. Let us not forget that promotion of the fellowship tenet is like no other. Having socials each month makes it really easy to get to know one another and make friends. For me, CKI provides a sense of family amongst our like-minded service oriented members. Since there is no better way to describe how I feel about volunteering and life in general, I will end with the CKI slogan, Live to Serve, Love to Serve, because I, 100%, wholeheartedly believe in Circle K International and all that we stand for.

Information CKIx is just around the corner! For those who don’t know what CKIx is, CKIx is a two part event which consist of the Large Scale Service Project (LSSP) and International Convention (ICON). This year is the year you don’t want to miss! With Kiwanis 100th anniversary, come celebrate with Kiwanis as this is a once in a life time experience! It’s definitely an event you don’t want to miss!

For those who don’t know what CKIx is, I’ll explain them in the next two paragraphs!

If I was forced to choose, my favorite out of the two would be the Large Scale Service Project. The Large Scale Service Project is two days in which Circle K members just do service! A tradition of what Circle K does is that we always try to leave the city in better shape than it was and LSSP does that. There are over 20 service projects to do during this event! Not only that, you are divided into teams which consist of different people from different Circle K districts which means that you have the opportunity to meet people from all over the world! This event is really unique because of all the fellowship and service that goes on and because of this event, we have had more people become involved with the District/International levels because of it.

The Circle K International Convention is when bylaw changes occur and your International Board officers are elected! This is important as this affects Circle K International as a whole! By coming to this event, you have an opportunity to provide a voice for your club and set the direction you believe is right for the organization. Club representation is really important and although you may not believe that one person can make a difference, you are wrong.

So now you’re wondering, why should you come to this event? Below are a list of reasons as to why you should!

1) It’s truly a once in a lifetime experience as we will be celebrating Kiwanis 100th anniversary with Kiwanis!

2) The location is in Indianapolis, Indiana! 3) Make a difference in the community as we will be doing service! 4) Meet people from all around the world that all commonly share a passion for Circle K

like you 5) Registration is $100 cheaper this year compared to last year! ($200 down from $300) 6) Elect your 2015-2016 International Board! 7) Vote on amendment changes to the Circle K Constitution 8) Gain knowledge that you can bring back to your own clubs. 9) Concert! 10) Listen to fantastic Speakers! 11) Have fun and make memories and friendships that last a lifetime.

For all the up to date information and more information about CKIx, check out the link below and I highly suggest going to this event! If you have any questions at all, please let me know! It would be awesome if everyone would attend this once in a lifetime experience!

Information CKIx is just around the corner! For those who don’t know what CKIx is, CKIx is a two part event which consist of the Large Scale Service Project (LSSP) and International Convention (ICON). This year is the year you don’t want to miss! With Kiwanis 100th anniversary, come celebrate with Kiwanis as this is a once in a life time experience! It’s definitely an event you don’t want to miss!

For those who don’t know what CKIx is, I’ll explain them in the next two paragraphs!

If I was forced to choose, my favorite out of the two would be the Large Scale Service Project. The Large Scale Service Project is two days in which Circle K members just do service! A tradition of what Circle K does is that we always try to leave the city in better shape than it was and LSSP does that. There are over 20 service projects to do during this event! Not only that, you are divided into teams which consist of different people from different Circle K districts which means that you have the opportunity to meet people from all over the world! This event is really unique because of all the fellowship and service that goes on and because of this event, we have had more people become involved with the District/International levels because of it.

The Circle K International Convention is when bylaw changes occur and your International Board officers are elected! This is important as this affects Circle K International as a whole! By coming to this event, you have an opportunity to provide a voice for your club and set the direction you believe is right for the organization. Club representation is really important and although you may not believe that one person can make a difference, you are wrong.

So now you’re wondering, why should you come to this event? Below are a list of reasons as to why you should!

1) It’s truly a once in a lifetime experience as we will be celebrating Kiwanis 100th anniversary with Kiwanis!

2) The location is in Indianapolis, Indiana! 3) Make a difference in the community as we will be doing service! 4) Meet people from all around the world that all commonly share a passion for Circle K

like you 5) Registration is $100 cheaper this year compared to last year! ($200 down from $300) 6) Elect your 2015-2016 International Board! 7) Vote on amendment changes to the Circle K Constitution 8) Gain knowledge that you can bring back to your own clubs. 9) Concert! 10) Listen to fantastic Speakers! 11) Have fun and make memories and friendships that last a lifetime.

For all the up to date information and more information about CKIx, check out the link below and I highly suggest going to this event! If you have any questions at all, please let me know! It would be awesome if everyone would attend this once in a lifetime experience!

Introduction The 2015 Leadership Academy applications are officially out! What is Leadership Academy you say? Leadership academy is a 6 day experience in which you discover yourself as a leader. Some skill sets that you can gain include: team-building, communication, and being more inspired to take on leadership positions. I've had the opportunity to attend Leadership Academy 2 years ago and this was definitely my highlight of the summer 2 years back. I've got to meet 60+ people and spend 6 days getting to know them. All I can say is that you should go and it can make a huge impact on your life. Leadership Academy truly displays Circle K’s 3 tenets: Service, Leadership, And Fellowship.

Who can attend?

The 2015 Leadership Academy is open to any student from a CKI club. Leadership Academy focuses on personal growth and development which in turns makes you a better leader for you club.

If you are driving, you may depart after 12:30 p.m. Do not book return flights before 3:00 p.m.

Where does the Academy take place?

Waycross Camp & Conference Center in Morgantown, Indiana. One of the best aspects of Leadership Academy is six days without social media interaction, but amazing human social interaction.

How much does the program cost?

The majority of the costs of the program (lodging, meals, and materials) are covered by CKI and courtesy of a grant from the Kiwanis International Foundation.

This year we held our District Convention as a joint convention with the Montana District Kiwanis at their Mid-winter conference. It was held in Great Falls, Montana. We had a group of 6 Circle K member from two clubs, Carroll College of Helena and Montana Tech of Butte. We heard from many Kiwanis Clubs from across our District about various service projects and activities. It gave our member quite a few new ideas for project, fundraisers and actives that we as circle K can organize and preform. We also had the opportunity to share the projects that we have undertaken this past year. We held Elections for our 2015-2016 District Board. I really enjoyed the joint Convention it gave our members the opportunity to network with the entire range of the K-Family and to meet members from all across the District.

The Pacific Northwest District had a wonderful convention February 20-22 in DuPont, Washington. We had a total of 114 attendees from 13 different clubs and had the highest attendance we’ve had in 5 years! The District Board worked really hard to make sure all the Circle K’ers and Kiwanis Family members had a great weekend filled with Leadership, Service, and Fellowship. Our theme was Double O Service and was incorporated throughout the weekend; we even had a murder mystery that all attendees had to solve. The weekend was packed with many workshops ranging in topics from officer training to learning about the history of our organization to even life skills practical workshops like networking and wilderness survival. The representatives from the Circle K clubs in the PNW District also elected their 2015-2016 District Board members and voted on several bylaw amendments that had a profound impact on the District. Our guest speaker was Dave Mauro and he is a seven summitter (climbing all 7 highest peaks on the 7 continents) and is one of only 100 or so Americans to have accomplished this. He gave a highly motivational speech where he shared his experience climbing Mt. Everest where his biggest message was that every mountain is just made up of little mountains and you have to just focus on those to reach your overall goal. This year we also had a great hands-on service project where members were able to volunteer with local special needs students and give them one on one attention to play games and have fun. To celebrate our year of service, we held an awards night where it kept with the theme and was a black tie event. The weekend really gave members a chance to learn something to take back to their Circle K clubs all while connecting and making friendships with others who are passionate about service from all over the Pacific Northwest District.

Our groggy Trustee had no idea what he was getting himself into when his plane landed in Idaho for the Utah-Idaho District Convention. When the day of the convention had arrived the members were ready to take on the day. We decided to start off with a quick icebreaker called the Hulk Namefinder Game, which ended with a new found knowledge of everyone’s names and endless laughs. Although that game was fun, it was nothing compared to our Villain-styled Mafia game. Accusations, murder, and mystery, what more could you ask for? These were not just games. They were the key to the new bonds of friendships that were created. These are the friendships and memories that members will have with them for the rest of their lives. Then there was the service. We created alphabetical and numerical booklets to help out a friend who would be taking these booklets to an orphanage in Mexico. Then we created cards of strength and encouragement which would go to Cards for Hospitalized Children. I could not help but feel a sense of accomplishment. Our members do so much for their community and they do not ask for anything return. We also cannot forget our elections. This is when a couple of brave souls ran for our district board positions in order to take on the challenge of maintaining and nurturing the growth of our District. These are the people that make our District strong. I hope our Trustee left with a sense of pride with this small district of ours, because I know I did. Utah-Idaho for life!

This year WECAN celebrated District Convention in Calgary AB from February 14th – 16th. It was a jam packed event with more attendees than ever! We had over 50 attendees over the 3 day event. These included representation from all of our clubs in the district, Kiwanians and a lot of international representation. We all had fun interacting with all the members and learning more about CKI. International President Kathy Le ran an engaging workshop on getting to know the other members in attendance at convention; we also had a number of workshops offered by Kiwanians and guest speakers.

Attendees participated in a number of service projects including making tote bags and slip free socks for children. We volunteered at Fort Calgary, the Mustard Seed and had a fundraising bottle drive at the event. On top of all the service we were able to fundraise a lofty $350 for the ELIMINATE project. We enjoyed a banquet and congratulated members for their hard work at the end of convention. DCON is always a time to reflect on your districts accomplishments and engage with the members in CKI. It has always been my favourite time of the year and this year was no different. I look forward to the upcoming year and what it has in store for WECAN CKI!

The Eliminate Project is Kiwanis’s International Fundraiser project dedicated to eliminate maternal and neonatal tetanus (MNT) throughout the entire world.

MNT is caused when tetanus spores, found in soil everywhere, come into open contact with open cuts during child birth.

It takes $110 million dollars to eliminate MNT and the goal is to raise that amount by the end of the 2015 year. The end of this one disease means the beginning of better health for so many families.

As Circle K members, we have an opportunity to make a difference and safe a life by donating $1.80. I encourage you all to start fundraising with your clubs as the end of the 2015 year is rapidly approaching.
