Message from your ltgHello My Beautiful Division!!

Summer has come to an end for all of us. During these past few months, I hope you had a chance to relax, to rest, and to go on as many fun adventures as you possibly could. For me, summer consisted of taking my last Physics Class, working in my research lab and clinic, and going to Disneyland seven times. In terms of Circle K, I had the opportunity to interact with many of you at events such as July District Board Meeting, District Summer Service Social, Kiwanis Meetings, and your clubs’ summer events. My summer was extremely busy…just the way I like it!

Now that we are in the fall, we do not have as much free time as we did in the summer, but with this season comes many, Now that we are in the fall, we do not have as much free time as we did in the summer, but with this season comes many, many exciting things for Circle K. Since I am on the quarter system, these past few weeks have been dedicated to visiting the clubs on the semester system. During my visits, I had the chance to talk to a few new members, and I can honestly say that I am super excited to see what all these fresh faces will bring. The Divisional Leadership Team and I are working hard to ensure that this fall is an amazing one for new and old members alike. Things to look forward to include Divisional Key to College, Hollywood Horror Nights, Dark Harbor, Divisional New Member Installation, and various service Key to College, Hollywood Horror Nights, Dark Harbor, Divisional New Member Installation, and various service projects with our Kiwanis Family. On top of that, we have so many District Events coming up like Crazy Kom-petition for Infants South and Fall Training Conference.

To my returning members: I encourage you all to step up and take leadership in your club. You are extremely important to ensuring the success of Circle K whether or not you are an officer. I also en-courage you to show our new members just how amazing Circle K is. They look to you for guid-ance, so welcome them with open arms.

To my new members: WELCOME TO THE MOST AMAZING ORGANIZATION THAT EVER EXISTED! Circle K has been my home for the past three years, and I hope that you all experience the best that it has to offer. I encourage you to take any opportunity that you can to be more involved with this club. I definitely believe that you get what you give to this club, meaning the more time you spend serving, leading, and bonding with others, the better your overall experience becomes.

I hope all of you are as excited for the fall as I am! On a last note, remember that I am not just I hope all of you are as excited for the fall as I am! On a last note, remember that I am not just your Lieutenant Governor but also your friend. If you ever need anything or just want to talk about random stuff, feel free to contact me at anytime! I would definitely love to hear from you!

Love Always, Josef Madrigal

Hello Metro! For some, school is in full swing, and for others, school is just around the corner. Fall is always a stressful time for everyone, with recruit-ment events and services every week along with classes asas well, we can all work to-gether and help each other out to get through it! This summer has been a hectic one for me—with work and planning for my future after I

graduate (I’m graduating?!?), I’ve done my best to make time to come out to any events that my club or the Division has, which is great because it gives me the chance to see all of your beautiful faces. I hope you make as much as you can of the rest of our term, Metro. Until we meet again friends!~

Circle K is an international collegiate service organiza-tion that fosters service, leadership, and fellowship. With over 13,000 members across the globe, Circle K members most definitely make a huge impact on those around them. As a service leader-

ship program sponsored by Kiwanis International, Circle K promotes interaction with other branches of the Kiwanis Family, such

as Kiwanis or Key Club. Members of Circle K definitely live by the motto “live to serve, love to serve”. In Metro, our Circle K’ers are like a family, with members from CSUDH,

CSULB, CSUN, ECC, UCLA, and USC!

A District Fundraising Initiative is a cause that the California-Nevada-Hawaii District of Circle K adopts and supports through fundraising efforts. We currently have three DFI’s: Pediatric Trauma Program (PTP), the ELIMINATE Project, and the Kiwanis Family House (KFH). Funds raised for PTP go towards efforts to prevent unintentional injuries and death to children. The ELIMINATE Project is an initiative that is attempting to eliminate maternal & neonatal tetanus from the world. Our KFH provides housing for families of patients at the UC Davis Medical Center. Our district is committed to helping these causes and helping them raise the

funds they need to help others.funds they need to help others.

A District Service Initiative is a cause that the California-Nevada-Hawaii District of Circle K encourages its clubs to work towards and raise awareness for. A Circle K club may choose the way in which it interprets the DSI. This year, the District Service Initiative is Hope for the Homeless. Projects supporting this cause range from packaging and distributing food and re-sources to, serving as support and counsel to, and educating the general public about the homeless. Metro has supported this DSI through various means such as Monday Night Mis-sions, LA Food Bank, and donations to various shelters within the local community. With this DSI, our District hopes to better serve the needs of the less fortunate and rally more sup-

port for them.

Hello Metro! My name is Albert Truong and I am a member of the District MD&E Committee. This year the committee restructured representation across the District and removed the position of divisional li-aisons because we felt that it is very difficult for one person to accommodate the different needs of each club within a division. Instead, we paired clubs upup with committee members that we felt would best cater to the need of each individual club! Cool right? Although I am the only one from Metro on the committee, my friends Nam Nguyen, Avery Fukeda, Frances Asha, and Gabriel Hernandez all represent schools within Metro and are a resource to the entire division and its members. As a committee, our goals areare to provide the best CKI experience for all the members across the District. Our focus this year is to help promote transparency throughout the district. That is why we have much more direct contact with membership chairs, and we try to give the members much more opportunities to get involved. We hope that everyone can have access to any type of MDE resourceresource required and will receive support whenev-er needed. That way every club can exhibit the best

recruiting and retention ever!8

by Ignacio Perez, El Camino College District Summer Service Social is one of the best events of the year. From August 13th to August 15th it was non-stop fun, socializing, and service. The best part of DSSS was the service, there were 3 main events. The first service event was making blankets for the homeless. We cut out pieces of fabric and wove them together, they looked great. While doing this service event you start getting to know others which can be exciting. The second service event took place at a zoo. Some of us helped out with the cages, while others moved around some of

the zoo’s equipment. Helping in a zoo is something I have never done before, I’m grateful for this experi-ence. The third and final event was mulching trees. Mulching is done to help the tree’s health, it maintains water for them. Mulching also pro-tects the tree’s roots from both hot and cold temperatures. It was all tons of fun, I hope that a lot of you go next year. year. I would recommend that everyone try this event at the least once during their CKI life in high school. You get to meet amazing people and do ser-vice with them. If I could do that weekend over again I would.

president’s Retreat 2015by Josef Madrigal,UC Los Angeles

In August, all the Presidents in CNH as well as your District Board had the amazing opportuni-ty to go to Lake Isabella and take part in Presi-dents Retreat. For the Metro Presidents and I, bonding could not have begun sooner. The night before we left for Lake Isabella, we all got together and had Korean BBQ. During our last dinner in LA, we talked about all the things that we wanted to do in the fall.

The next morning, we began on our three-hour trek to the campsite, and the first thing we did when we got there was build Metro Resort. I

provided morale support (hehe) as the Presidents built our camp complete with sleeping quarters, a patio, and a luggage/changing tent.

Throughout the weekend, the District Board and I helped prepare your Presidents for the rest of their terms. During this event, we also showed the Presidents that they have an enormous system and that they are never alone during their journey. In addition, we also had time to do fun things around the campsite such as recording the “I Really Like You” Lip Dub, looking for shooting stars late at night, and telling scary stories by the lake.

PresidentsPresidents Retreat was a truly amazing event that brought all of us closer together. All the fun we had made up for the fact that we were really gross from not showering. Show your Presidents some love next time you see them!

Metro TeamBuilder Before our August DCM, we did a series of fun team building exercises. For the first exercise, we wrote three to five of our goals on the wall and whoever’s we picked we got to talk to and got to know better. It was a great way to get to know someone who has similar aspirations with you. After the first team building activi-ty, Johnny hosted an informative workshop about resumeresume building. After his workshop we did our second team building activity which consisted of filling out a survey and calculating our scores which matched up with a corresponding color. We got together with people who had the same color and we acted out a robbery scene relating to the corresponding personali-ty related to our colors. Through this exercise we got to see how to work with people who have different per-sonality traits. After the second exercise, Juliana and Jacob, from UCLA, held an interactive workshop about recruitment, and we got to simulate tabling with differ-ent types of potential members. All and all, these team building exercises helped us get to know one another better and taught us valuable lesson about Circle K for the upcoming school year.

El Camino College hosted the second Metro Run-ning Man Race. The event was inspired last year from Korea’s hit variety game show. The location of the event was at Alondra Park next to ECC. The Metro Run-ning Man was split into two rounds. The first was a team race and the second was the Name Tag Elimination game. The first round began at 12:30pm and ended at 2:30pm. The final round started after the DCM ended. Participants of the race consisted of CSUDH, CSULB, CSUN, UCLA, and ECC. Members were split into different teams with only one team leader. The team leaders had to make sure that each game was com-pleted in order to move on to the next game. Everyone had to work together to find their weakness and strengths to finish the course before the other teams. Overall,Overall, all the teams completed the first round and had a blast getting to know each other. Lastly, my favorite part of the event was the Name Tag Elimination. Everyone was very competitive and they were eager to rip the nametags off of each oth-er’s back. After a whole day of working together in teams, the members were excited to go against each other. It was an intense game that at one point no one knew who would be the winner. I highly recommend everyoneeveryone to attend this event next year so that you can make long lasting memories with the members in our di-vision and take home the title of the Running Man Race Champion.

the indoor volleyball games. When we entered there, we could already hear the cheering atmosphere. As soon as we found seats to sit down and cheer, we began to ask what countries were being represented. There were Peruvian, German, Cro-atian,atian, Costa Rican, and American fans cheering for the game. We would just go off our seats when the athletes tried their best and when they made a comeback. Personally, I screamed in joy when any team appeared to have the momentum andand have the desire to play. In addi-tion, we not only just selected to see two countries play, but all the games that were being played. You can hear our own cheers and also the fans cheering in their section. As soon as the American team was playing, there was this unique player

who seemed to get the fans on their feet! We were cheering for this player for almost every serve he tried to do. The energy of the games was felt by almost everyone- which is why we cheer! Not only did we clap for the winners, but also the opposing team toto show our gratitude for entertaining us, the fans. Circle K also yelled out the R-O-C-K chant to represent our organization! All of us bonded over our ap-preciation of how hard the athletes performed. It was also incredible to grasp how thrilling volleyball games could be! Lastly, I did want to find a team to have a “Fans in the Stands” team to begin with. For that, special thanks to Jong, Justin, Herman, Josef, Angie, CSDUH and Kiwanis for making this event possible.event possible.

Attending the Special Olym-pics is a once in a lifetime event, es-pecially if it’s local around the Los Angeles area. What made it better was that a couple of the games were hosted at UCLA. I will say it was a privilege to have the athletes compete at our campus. The Spe-cial Olympics game that Circle K at UCLA, Dominguez Hills, and Kiwan-ians were able to attend happened on August 1, 2015. Essentially, this event was called “Fans in the Stands”. We were out there to cheer for the special athletes, as they worked hard to get a place in their national team and have the honor to play for their country. As soon as we received our Ki-wanis gear, which were bandanas and balloons, we proceeded to enter the Pauley Pavilion to attend

Clean lbbeach cleanupAn appropriate summer service is a mellow service at the beach. One of those hour ser-vice, it goes by quick but the impact of the service is evident on the community. There are families just along the beach enjoying their summer among the small pieces of plastic and glass that wash up on the sand. However, vol-unteers are given two bags, one for recycla-bles and one for trash, and are told to scour the beach for those pieces of plastic and glass that may potentially harm someone. Accom-panied by the occasional breeze of Pacific Ocean, volunteers do as their told and

cleanse the shoreline of debris and things that do not belong in the sandy ecosystem. Once the hour is up and the materials are brought back to the service area, the coordinators of the event feed you. Whenever a service feeds you, it’s obviously one of the best services you can go to. Not only do they feed you but they allow you seconds and thirds. Besides giving you subsistence, they converse with you for a you subsistence, they converse with you for a while to give you that mental subsistence.

HillsFor the summer a really great event

that I was able to participate in was my own Family event! Since I am no longer an officer, I was still able to par-

ticipate as family head for the time being. Our Sophie Family Getty Villa Social. This was one of the last events that I would be able to have with my Sophie Family and it meant so much to me as a family head. Although not all of the members could attend, the ones that werewere able to really made me a proud family head (parent). Being part of this family has taught so much about myself and taking them to one of the last socials together really should me how string we were to-gether. All of the members that participat-ed enjoyed the event as it was something completely new to most of us. Looking at all the Greek history and the architecture was fascinating. Although we were in a drought and the fountains were not in use at all, the area still looked great. Overall, our family enjoyed the small adventure. Thanks

Sophie Family!

la lymphomawalk On Saturday, August 23rd I went to

volunteer at the 5k Lymphoma Walk at Griffith Park with Virginia Hernandez. We arrived before 8 am to help set up the tables, snacks, and beverages. This was after we got assigned to do registration on-site for the people who didn't register online.online. Surprisingly registration was free, but donations were al-lowed. There were a good amount of generous people who do-nated to the lymphoma research foundation. I also got to meet people who were survivors from having lymphoma cancer. Volunteering at this event was really fun. I got to meet new people that were friendly to talk about their experiences. It was nice to see families support their beloved ones who have passed away. Signifying that they are still supporting other families and people who are going through the same thing with their beloved one still fighting from this disease. Overall, the lymphoma walk turned out to be successful, we raised a good amount of dona-tions.tions.

On August 8th of 2015, Circle K’ers convened in Santa Anita Park in Arcadia for the popular 626 Night Market to revel in perpetual lines for expensive Asian food, the smell of smoke and stinky tofu seeping into their clothes, lively crowds, but most importantly, good company. The action-packed night began with browsing the stands in search of the most unique or cheapest food. Some of the interesting finds include live sea urchin, giant squid, flashing lighted drinks, cheesecake in a cup, and macaron ice cream sandwiches. The cash-only policy and the $4 ATM charge stirred much lament from those of us who did not bring cash. Losing each other to the bustling crowds was also a big struggle. We would attempt to hold onto each other, only to tragically lose grip and yell their names pointlessly at the crowd that can only be de-scribed as a Bounty sheet: a super absorbent long lasting picker upper. Tears dripped onto the phones that lacked the signal we needed to find each other.the signal we needed to find each other. Amidst delicious food was thrilling entertainment. An amateur b-boy challenged Calvin Ha to a dance off. Prefacing his act with the phrase, “I don’t even b-boy!” and many failed attempts to request songs, Calvin de-stroyed the dance floor and his opponent with his sick moves. By the end of it, Calvin had attracted a crowd to a previously empty dance floor and induced thirst in starstruck ladies. Though the group broke apart countless times throughout our time at the night market, we all gathered to-gether in the end to enjoy ice cream stuffed in J shaped corn puff tubes and visit Factory Tea Bar in Alhambra where we bonded over Truth-or-Truth-spin-the-bottle.

Special Olympics 2015 From July 21st – July 23rd, we assisted the Kiwanis Club of La Mirada and Division 30 North Key Club with the Special Olympics at BIOLA University. We helped welcome delegations from Russia and Macau by preparing rooms, posters, snacks, and festivities. We also helped bring luggage to rooms. Because the Russian delegates ar-rived close to midnight on the 21st, many of us were scrambling to help them get settled. They had just endured 36 hours of traveling andand many of them were exhausted and hungry. We found that it was difficult to communicate with many of them due to the lan-guage barrier, but it was a great experience to be able to help wel-come them to our home city. In addition, we also helped prepare a Frozen movie night for the Russian delegates. We had popcorn and water and we set up cardboard cutouts of the Frozen characters. For their last night at BIOLA, we had a concert at La Mirada Regional Park. We served snow cones and Vitamin Water to the Russian delegates as well as people of La Mirada. It was great to see the city come together to bond with the Russian delegates. Many of the delegates were dancingdancing to the music and enjoying themselves. Ultimately, the Spe-cial Olympics has been such a wonderful, heartwarming experience and it has been so great to be part of such an incredible event!

What's up, Metro division!

MyMy name is Jenny Park from UC Riverside and I am honored to represent you all on this year's CKI board as your International Trustee. Not sure what an Interna-tional Trustee is? No biggie, that's what I'm here to help with! The Circle K Interna-tional board is made up of ten student leaders and 3 Kiwanis board members: at International Convention every year, an International President, International Vice President, and eight International Trustees are elected. One trustee is ap-pointed to each respective region that they belong to, apart from the International Trustee at Large whose role is the oversee internationally non-districted clubs (did you know we chartered in Japan this past February in Ashiya?). Think of trustees like a lieutenant governor! Similar to how Metro Division is one of nine divisions within the California-Nevada-Hawai'i District of Circle K International, there are actually 32 CKI districts worldwide and each of these districts are grouped into seven subregions. This is where trustees come into play, CNH along with Rocky Mountain and Southwest districts make up Subregion B with over 3,5003,500 CKI members to date, making us the largest subregion in the world! This is why it is my personal goal to make sure that all of you as members are staying in-formed with all things international, all year round.

If you ever have a question or want to be more involved with what makes us Circle K INTERNATIONAL then feel free to add me on facebook or email me at [email protected] ! Additionally, stay updated with the subregion face-book. Our next international events are CKIx 2016 in Toronto (June 22-26) and CKI Leadership Academy 2016 (August TBA). I look forward to meeting you all in the near future, but in the meantime stay legendary, Metro!

Live to Serve, Love to Serve. Jennifer Park2015-2016 Subregion B Trustee

It’s time for...

CONGRATULATIONSEvery year, just as our clubs and our District appoints members onto committees, Circle K International does just the same! This year, FOUR of our very own Metro Monsters wil be working with othe members from across the world on International Committees. If you ever get the chance to, give these members a great big “CON-

GRATS!” for dedicating themselves to our organization on an even larger scale. Way to go, you!
