What makes this newsletter extra special is that Ive dedicated an
entire spread to our graduating seniors. I was trying not to cry when
I was putting in their blurbs! I am incredibly blessed to have gotten tointeract, know, and bond with these awesome individuals, and you can
guarantee it breaks my heart to see them go. But seniors, I wish you all
the best~!! Youve all truly done so much or Circle K over the last ew
years. I know you all have made my CKI experience worth every mo-
ment (and I really, really mean that!). :)
The days are winding down, so the next time you see one o the se-
niors, be sure to give them a BIG hug and wish them all the best in their utures.
They will truly appreciate it. :) Seniors, come visit soon and dont orget us, okay?
In a way, you can consider this the last newsletter in that the academic year

According to a Japanese legend, if someone folds a
thousand paper cranes, their wish will be granted by
a majestic crane. This same story drove Sadako Sasaki,
a girl who developed leukemia following the drop of the
atomic bomb on Hiroshima, to fold hundreds of cranes
in the hopes of recovering from her illness. In turn, her
story drove UCLA Circle K to fold a thousand cranes
for a boy with cancer.
Origami Crane Making started with a simplerequest to your current board members: to sign
a Get Well Soon card for a Kiwanians son,
Josh, who is currently undergoing chemotherapy. Your
Kiwanis Family chair, Brian Kan, decided to take the
idea further and wanted the club to make origami cranes.
Over the past few weeks, you may have
seen your fellow Circle K-ers folding brightly
colored paper or teaching each other how to
fold cranes. Im proud to say we successfully
folded all 1,000 sheets into cranes!
Now, were working on stringing and beautifullyarranging them in the form of a spiral chandelier.
To date, we spent about 100 hours working on the
cranes and it really shows how much care, effort and
thought that our members put towards this gift. I cant
wait until we give these cranes to Josh to let him know
that UCLA Circle K hopes that he becomes healthy and
cancer-free!

U-R-O-C-K, U ROCK, U ROCK!
This years Bruin Run/Walk started off
n the pouring rain but ended up being a
pretty spectacular morning. The 5K event,
beneting our local Mattel Childrens
Hospital here at UCLA, featured hundreds
of participants as they braved the wet and
cold morning either running or walking 5K
around our UCLA campus.
My tooth fairy team and I stood guard
at the 1K mark, cheering individuals on as
hey reached the 1K mark or were nearing
he end of their 5K journey. Our star of the
event had to be Theresa Phan, who showed
exceptional spirit by cheering on each and
every person whilst giving them uplifting
compliments and laughs as well. While we
may have had too much fun in our tooth
fairy wings, complete with our fairy wands
and tiaras, what made the event amazing
was seeing so many people, young and
old, participating and supporting their
respective teams.
Shout out to TEAM GRACE and TEAM
ALLIE, who donned purple and pink t-shirts
respectively, making it easier for us to see
who was coming up the route and allowingus to prepare our cheers for them! Not only
did we get to cheer these amazing people
on, at the end of the event we got to get
our hands on some nice freebies as well as
meet Kenton Duty from Disney Channels
Shake It Up!
All in all, Bruin Run/Walk was such a fun
and fantastic eventthere was no better
way to spend a Sunday morning than with
some awesome service and fun!

Super LA Adoption is an
annual event dedicated to
elping abused or homeless
dogs and cats nd new owners.
his year the event was held at
he La Brea Tar Pits, and there
were over 700 dogs and cats
rom various shelters and rescue
groups up for adoption.
I was privileged enough
to be able to help out at this
event, along with three other
UCLA CKI members, where we
were stationed at the adoption
checkout table. We helped
families ll out their adoption
paperwork, and gave them
their complimentary gift bag
containing treats, toys, and other
goodies for their new dog or
cat (the dogs even got colorful
sweaters and leashes!).
Every time a new pet was
adopted one of us rang a bell,
and we all cheered as the happy
family showed off their new dog
or cat; they were all so cu
truly makes me happy kno
that all of those adopted
and cats will be going to a
home with a loving family
had only been there for
hours, but by the end o
event, we had helped n
200 dogs and cats get ado

First o all, congrats! How does it eel to be picked as
Boardie o the Month?Why thank you! To be honest, Im attered and genuinely sur-
rised to be chosen. Apparently its not a shocker to other board-es...? Seriously though, I do my best for the club, not the recogni-
on.
What made you want to be on board as Service
chair? Is it everything you expected and more?The club has done so much for me that I felt like I could give
back to it by taking on a position on board. I really didnt know
what to expect, but you have no idea how much I love being
ervice co-chair. It gives me an opportunity to work directly with
he service organizations and expand the various ways our club
mpacts the Los Angeles community.
You have two other people working with you. How do
ou guys split up the work and work about with one
nother?Gerardo, Jamie and I have weekly planning meetings to dis-
uss service events were planning, the status of upcoming proj-
cts and anything we could do to improve the quality of the
ervice that UCLA Circle K does. Each of us acts as the main
ontact for several service organizations and we work with their
olunteer coordinators to arrange service projects for our club.
ervice Team is in constant communication with each other to en-ure that the details are set for members to volunteer.
The frst quarter o the terms coming to an end. How
do you eel?Mindblown. Where did the past nine weeks go?! What have I
been doing with my life? Oh right... service. _~ Haha, otherwise,
m really excited for the rest of the year since were off to such
n amazing start.
Goals or next year?For Circle K... I want to inspire the members with the spir
service by nding service projects that are both fun, rewar
and have a direct impact for the volunteers and those who
help. For myself... platinum MRP and well, I dont really t
about goals. I just kinda go out and do what I do.
Whats your avorite Pokemon and why?
Jolteon! Cause hes cute. So if you herd I liek mudkipz, tall just a rumor.
For the month of May, one board member stood out
mong the rest, for her dedication to service and uplifting
pirit. Jaimie Yap, a third-year biology major, exceeded
ll expectations as a board member and set an example
or any and all to follow. What does she have to say about
eceiving this title? Lets nd out.

At Spring Training Conference (STC) in CSU
Fullerton, fellow Circle K members from all over
Cal-Nev-Ha joined together to participate in
a variety of workshops, ranging from Suit Up
101 to How to Create Appropriate Cheers.
Our very own Rouel Soberano even did a hip
hop workshop! STC is an annual event that
allows us not only to get together and see
friends from different clubs, but to learn waysthat we can make the club better.
After the opening ceremony, we all shufed
off to the workshop of our choice. I attended a
fundraising workshop; it was really interesting
to see what fundraisers people came up with.
Somebody even suggested a bad movie
nightyou would pay a dollar to get in, but
four dollars to get out! But the day wasnt
over yet! We then went to JonJons DCM,
where we went on a Back to the Future ride!
After lunch and a couple more workshops,
headed back to the auditorium for the clo
ceremony.
UCLA Circle K then decided to go get so
Korean BBQ. We all agreed on Cham Sut G
because there was a certain waiter we
wanted to see: the one, the only J.Kwon! W
we got there, we learned that his shift di
start until 6:30. The hour we had to wait wby much too slowly, but J.Kwon nally show
up, and we got to take pictures with him!
Overall, STC was a great experience. To
honest, I was a little tired of everything be
I went; it was the end of spring quarter, and
I wanted to do was go home. STC was a g
way to get me pumped up about Circle K,
I denitely recommend other Circle K memb
to attend next year!

Its Friday the 13th. As darkness
descends on Janss Steps, a lone whistle can
be heard in the distance. Packs of college
tudents clad in camo and headbands
disappear into the trees. Then. You see
hem. ZOMBIES. A few at rst, the zombie
orde grows quickly, gaining comrades as
umans fall victim to their infectious touch.
What scenarios will the humans be tested
with this time? Will it be putting together a
puzzle under life and death circumstances,protecting the priceless zombie vaccine,
or sacricing themselves for a designated
VIP?
Armed with Nerf guns, socks, and
marshmallows, the humans attempt to ght
back and stave off the advancing zombie
army for as long as possible. Some come
prepared for the worst, outtted with
multiple weapons and an ample supply of
ammo. Others go old school and opt for
sock bombs. Students ban together, lettinggo of petty differences in favor of survival.
One by one however, as more and more fall
to the living dead, friends nd themselves
running from the very people ghting by
their side moments before. Those who
become one of them show
now mercy and join the
horde, pinpointing weak and
defenseless groups to attack.
Bullets and marshmallows
can only do so much as the
zombies countdown, eagerlyawaiting the moment they
can unfreeze and attack again. Survival
is the ultimate goal in this epic game of
Humans versus Zombies.
HvZ is quickly becoming a quarterly
tradition for UCLA Circle K, this time joined
by Metro division for an all out epic battle
across campus. It was amazing to see
everyone from Metro with their tricked out
guns and hardcore gear. Our very own
Diane Santos emulated Lara Croft asstopped zombies dead in their tracks.

ther esteemed guests celebrated in Kerckhoff Halls Grand Salon
with dinner, awards, speeches, and videos.
The night kicked off with the presentation of the Family of the
Year award to the Creepy Fiends and the House of the Year award
o the House of Sully. Afterwards, guests laughed at the general
member superlative slideshow. Diane Santos, a dedicated and
ompassionate woman, won Member of the Year.Capturing all the wonderful memories of the past term, the End
f the Year Slideshow was nostalgic for many in the room. The
raduating seniors of Circle K were also recognized and given
eather portfolios to thank them for their contribution to our
rganization.
After Stephanie Wong, administrative vice president, retired
he 2010-2011 committee chairs, President Grace Ann Cecilio

Afterwards, Brett Butler, immediate past Metro Div

retired the 2011-2012 executive board. Then, current M

Following the introduction and installation of the 2011-2
committee chairs, Neil Yonzon, the newly-installed Preside
UCLA Circle K, provided his incoming address.
Overall, the night was full of laughs, tears, celebration fo
old year, and excitement for the new.
With the last round of midterms amongstus and nals slowly creeping, everyone could
use a little spirit lift, right? Just to everyones
luck, UCLAs Circle K went out to Bruin Plaza
to lift spirits in a Random Act of Kindness
(R.A.K.) Week!
To kick off the random acts of kindness, on
Monday we pinned people with compliment
clothespins. The compliments ranged from I
like your shirt to Youre pretty without any
makeup on to Youre cute. Call me! [num-
ber here]. One girl liked her compliment somuch she took a picture of her clothespin and
posted it as her Facebook prole picture and
one person even contacted the number that
was on his pin saying that it made his day.
The next three days consisted of giving out
free hugs (sometimes limited edition dehugs ;D), giving out goodies such as
cakes, and randomly cheering for peo
R.A.K. club also joined us on Wedne
and Thursday to give out free hugs. De
not everyone accepting our hugs and g
ies, the event was a success because t
who needed the hugs went for it and
looked a lot better after receiving them
Every person that accepted a free
gave a real two-armed bear hug, w
made the people participating in the efeel better too. While we were out there
ing to bring sunshine into peoples days,
brought sunshine into ours, so this random
of kindness week went above and bey
expectation. Yay!

I felt like a kid again once I stepped into the Mulligan Family Fun
Center for a CAYP Kiwanis Funraiser. The rst thing we did when we
ot there was play DDR! It brought Neil back to his childhood when he
sed to hit up the arcade all the time. I felt like such a noob compared
o Brian and Neil since they were so good they had to hold onto thebar. Talk about a pro!
We all went go-karting afterwards and it was Brians rst time.
omehow, we ended up being stuck on the track for over 10 minutes.
The Kiwanis had a DCM and fed us with yummy pizza later on. Brian
nd Neil updated the Kiwanis about what was going on in our club. The
best part was playing mini-golf (that turned into other things) with the
CAYP Kiwanis. We gave up playing a real game of mini-golf at one
point and started trying other methods to get the golf ball in the hole.
It was great day overall; Im glad we were able to know the CAYP
Kiwanians better.

Time to Break the Ice with Get Shave
On a sunny Saturday,
everal members from our
Circle K gathered at De
Neve Turnaround to leave for
Metro Divisions Get Shaved
cebreaker Social near Cal
State Northridge.
At rst, we had a shortage
of rides, but Connie managed
o nd a second car to take
all of us to the event so no one
would be left behind. After
our school arrived at the Get
Shaved concession stand, we
played I Love My Neighbor
to, well, break the ice amongst
ourselves and the other clubs.
We mingled for a few minutes
before getting some delicious
shaved ice with Cal State
Northridge, Cal State Long
Beach and El Camino College,
which are some of the schools
in the Metro Division.
After the treat, we played
our rst ofcial icebreaker
Pterodactyl, which became
intense as members got
eliminated after every round.
In the end, Gerardo and Brian
Kan were declared winners,
along with two other Metro
members. After two hours
of Ninja, Human Knot, Man
Overboard and the like, we bid
our goodbyes and head back
to school.
I enjoyed attending this event
because I was able to make
new friends within my division,
with whom I still keep in t
with, and it also motivated
to attend more divisional e
to meet more people and b
within the Metro Division. It
brought back memories
high school, and thus remin
me of my key club divis
socials, which were super
and full of energy.
Overall, I had a great
attending this event, and I
am looking forward to

TurKeys Take:Graduation
Summer is just around the corner and thatust means one thing: stressed out studentsnd faces breaking out from too much caf-eine and lack of sleep. Its Finals season!ut more importantly, this means the biddingf farewells to good friends and families.Graduation, the moment that weve all
worked so hard (or moderately hard) (orbarely hard enough) for, is coming for somef you Turkeys. With that said, I would likeo congratulate you guys. It is the happiestay of your college career, but it can de-itely be also the scariest. This day markshe end of your undergraduate life, andwell, the start of a life in the real world.
Now, some of you might not y as farway from the nest as you wish, while others
will go on and reach mountains and beyond.Whatever the future brings, just remembero keep on apping those wings. On your
way, you will meet all sorts of people, somef whom will tell you that you cant y veryar. They are probably right, but only prob-
bly. Thats because according to all knownaws of physics, there is no way that turkeys,with their fat bodies and useless wings, canet themselves off the ground, let alone to aifferent ranch of higher education.But you guys are no ordinary turkeys.
hats right, my ne feathered friends.
omewhere along the way, you guys havell chosen a path of service, leadership,nd fellowship. You all chose to wanderff away from the free-ranged ways ofhe foster farms of UCLA and make it to special barn: the Circle K barn. Here weave reinvented, remastered, remutated,nd reproduce you to be the cream-of-the-
rop Turkeys that you see before you today- Mutant Turkeys with dreams of ying far,ar away. But the journey hasnt even beguno take ight. All we have done is providedou with the wings, now its your turn to takehe leap of faith.
So go forth young Turkey leaders of theuture, and never stop that ghting spirit. As
ou look back to the other side of the coop,we will all be to hear about your journeysbeyond the undergraduate fence.

The Creepy Fiends have not only shown service, leadership, and fellowship, but
immense pride and compassion. Despite starting out as one of the more unconvent
families of the past year, if you were to spend an afternoon with them, youd fee
strength of the love and the strength of the bonds that have genuinely formed betw
the members of this family. Kicking off the family photo shoot trend, inviting non-fa
members out to their events, and having one-on-ones between cubbies and the fa
heads, the Creepy Fiends are always innovative and classy.
No one can top the power HOUSE, House of Sully. The Fuzzy Fantoms and the Hun

Together, they are unstoppable. Throughout this past year, these two families have sh
the greatest house unity. There is not a family event that their co-family is not invite

Goodbye Tiramisu Family ! Goodbye Silver Koalas Family ! Goodbye
Nightgown Ninjas Family ! Goodbye UCLA CKI ! I am too old for this club,
ut the club is still going strong and I have no doubt that UCLA CKI will
ontinue the traditions of service, leadership, and fellowship !
luke liao
Over the past four years, I have seen a lot of CKIers get Ked out (Circle K language for burned out), but Ihave been fortunate in never losing that re to help others. Hopefully these four pointers will help you kee
your experience in perspective and so you will never lose the re to help.
1. Be selsh. Yes, the most insane thought for someone devoted to service, but remember this is your time that you are volunteering
and do not forget about your own well-being. If you fall behind because of your devotion to service and you end up needing then isnt that a bit counterproductive? As a mentor of mine would say, We can do everything; we just dont have the time to d
2. Learn from the past. Fail those two midterms after going to Fall Training Conference and then Masquerade Ball the following
weekend? Pick one; your grades will thank you.3. Empathize. This one is more for the board members. Remember that the other organizations that we work with have their own
priorities and that you cannot possibly be there number one priority after one phone call. Follow ups and being courteous goe
long distance. Never expect full attention and you will be pleasantly surprised.
4. Do service. I often found myself inundated with the bonding and fellowship. That was when I felt the least passionate, it was ju
too draining hanging out until the sunrise every night. Doing service will always lift your spirit. Having direct contact with the
children at Free Arts for Abused Children or the homeless at West Hollywood Food Coalition will touch your soul. Service is the
to keeping you going.
am so grateful to have worked with so many of you over the past four years in Circle K. This organization would be nothing without yohe members. Enjoy the fellowship with the others, the leadership opportunities, and most importantly, the great service you provide to t
community. Live to Serve, Love to Serve.
Best,
