Hello U.C. Davis!
For those of you who don’t know me, my name is Luke Tanaka, the Capital Division Lieutenant
Governor for the 2013-2014 term, and I can’t wait to meet you! In the upcoming year I will be your
representative on the District Board responsible for providing input on Capital’s behalf. Working with
the Divisional Secretary, Stephanny Orozco, I will be creating a mailing list that you can voluntarily
sign up for containing updates from each of the District Board meeting. I hope that those of you
who are interested will take advantage of this mailing list and will also provide suggestions, so I may
better represent you on issues that affect the Capital Division. Keep an eye out for the signup for
the mailing list on our new divisional website! Thanks to Kevin Arthur, the Divisional Historian and
Tech Chair, the website is now up and in the process of being further developed. Please check it
out at www.CapitalCircleK.org! We will be working to ensure CapitalCircleK.org has an updated
Divisional Master Calendar to keep everyone current on club and divisional events, a photo
repository, and a place to highlight our events and accomplishments. Keep an eye out for a
Capital CKI Twitter account in the next few weeks as well!
Are you sad that the school year is coming to a close? Do you want to get to know your division
better or see your friends from Capital over summer?! Come on out to the Capital summer
Divisional Council Meetings! The June DCM will be the 15th-16th at Lake Tahoe where we will be
hanging out on the beach, doing some service, and camping overnight! The July DCM will be at
Emigrant Gap where we will be cliff jumping and camping! Summer DCMs provide an excellent
opportunity to get to know your fellow Circle Kers over the late night smores, ghost stories, and
free-falling into shockingly cold, blue water. The summer DCMs were one of my favorite
events that I ever attended with CKI, so everyone who can attend should! I can’t wait
to see you all over the summer!
Until we meet (again),
Luke Tanaka
I SEE DAVIS!
UC DAVIS!
Greetings everyone, my name is Sean Dylan Nguyen and I am your 2013-2014 CNH Circle K
District Governor from Cal State Long Beach of Metro Division! I just wanted to drop in to say hello
to you all and that I recently visited your campus for Spring Training Conference North and it’s
such a nice campus, I’ll definitely try to visit you guys again this upcoming year, In fact I’d like to
visit Capital Division as a whole!
I certainly hope that you are all ready for another amazing year of service, leadership, and
fellowship, because I know that I am! After seeing how you all gave it your all representing your
club this past year at Fall Training Conference and District Convention, I certainly hope to see the
same amount of spirit and enthusiasm in this upcoming year as well ( let’s be honest, I know you
will exceed that amount by a whole heck of a lot).
Thank you everyone and I hope to see you all very soon!
Sincerely,
Sean D. Nguyen
Dear UCD CKI,

When I think of Circle K International, I think of more than just simply another organization
on campus. I think of a family and a community of individuals seeking to better mankind. But, I also
think of an opportunity. Circle K International is a pathway for substantial change in the world.
Whether it is through a service event to help the community or through leadership and support to
help students see their own strengths and potential….Circle K International is a medium for change. I
believe this organization is a way to make a positive impact on the world, one event, one community,
one individual at a time.
You could ask any member, “Why do you stay in this organization?” and chances are they will
most likely answer along the lines of “For the people.” Circle K International is a family. Through
Circle K, I have made friendships that I know will last a lifetime. Something I love about this
organization is that people in this organization genuinely care about others, and they care about
making positive impact on the lives of others. I think one of the best things about this organization is
that you can personally see the effect this organization has on the world. Through Circle K, I have
had opportunities to travel all over, meet all kinds of members, and even impact the lives of people
along the way! I implore you; take a few steps into the world of Circle K with me. See for yourself
what this organization can do for you…see for yourself what you could do for the world. I am Nancy
Bui, President of Circle K international at the University of California, Davis, and I look forward to
our journey together!

2013-2014 District Service Initiative
Many people, children and adults alike, find it hard to speak out about their
problems, that may involve bullying in school, the workplace, and the internet.
Bullies often do not realize how much of an impact they make on their lives of
their victims and are often the target of other bullies themselves. The 2013-2014
District Service Initiative “Speak Out: Anti-bullying” aims to educate and train
the community on how to identify and stop bullying. The goal is to bring
awareness to their very important social issue and put a stop to the cycle of
abuse. Moreover, with Speak Out! As our DSI it allows CKI members to educate
themselves on this issue and promote advocacy against bullying.

Kiwanis International and UNICEF have teamed up to
eliminate maternal and neonatal tetanus. Every year
this disease takes the lives of almost 60,000 babies
and a significant number of women. Tiny newborns
who get tetanus suffer from repeated, painful
convulsions, and an extreme sensitivity to light and
touch.
With your donations vaccines, syringes, safe storage,
transportation, thousands of skilled staff and more
that help in the fight against maternal and neonatal
tetanus.

Autism is a neural development disorder that causes impaired social interaction,
communication, and behavior. As a result, many who are uninformed about autism, treat those who are autistic with
prejudice and fear. Austism is not a sickness or a disease and it can not be spread to other people. Autism speaks seeks
to raise awareness and educate people regarding the characteristics of autism, as well as fund research into
understanding and curing autism.
With your donations Autism Speaks
o Research into the causes, prevention, treatments, and a cure for autism
o Increasing awareness of autism spectrum disorders
o Advocating for the needs of individuals with autism and their families
What you can do: Raise awareness and educate others about autism to reduce the prejudices and biased perceptions

Run for your Lives On May 11, 2013 CKI teamed up with Sac State, UOP, and a member
from UCLA and participated in the Run For Your Lives run. Run For Your Lives
is a one-of-a-kind 5k obstacle course where not only does the runner have to
complete the race, they also have to go through numerous obstacles, such as
blood pits, smoke house, and electric fences, while outrunning hordes of
zombies. Many attempt to make it through the race as a human, but only a few
are able to make it to the Safe Zone unaffected. This race not only tests your
speed and endurance, but also your strength and wit as you battle your way to
the Safe zone (the finish line).
For more information visit kennedykrieger.org
Meeting up at 5am in the U-Mall parking lot,
Andrew Tom and Annie Yu, and Annie Ngyuen were there
with Zombie survival packs in hand, consisting of nutella
sandwiches, candy, and water to help fuel us til 2pm. With
GPS in hand, our caravans of not quite human, but not quite
undead, sleep deprived volunteers started their hour long
journey to the zombie run.
As we got to the top of a hill that led us to the
volunteer registration, we saw a giant group of zombies at
the bottom. Forgetting how tired we are, we were suddenly
filled with energy that lasted us through the day. We helped
out at t-shirt, beverage, and medal distribution at the end
of the race, as well as helped navigate confused zombies,
racers, and spectators.
Run For Your Lives race is an official partner with Kennedy
Krieger Foundation. The main focus of Kennedy Krieger is on the
problems and injuries that affect a child’s developing brain. They
have worked with various researchers, physicians, therapists, and
educators to help children with brain injuries make full or almost full
recovery.

The workshops at DCON were really great
and enlightening, but the best one was
the one called SPIRIT! because it was
really entertaining. The hosts
incorporated the concept of a super
saiyan from Dragon Ball Z into it. It was
really clever as it made the workshop
exciting and hilarious.
During the awards ceremony, we won so
many awards and it made me feel like
we were a club to be revered. I never felt
prouder to be a CKI member than at that
moment.
On the second day of DCON there was a
talent show and there were many dance
groups and singing acts, which was just
too awesome. I liked the Sriracha Boys
the most though because their dance was
the most fun to watch.
Although the cheer, the workshops, the
talent show, and the awards were
fantastic my favorite part of DCON was
the dance. I got to dance the night away
with all the new friends I just made.
I’ve been to KIWIN’S DCON when I was in high
school and had a lot of fun so I thought Circle
K’s DCON would be the same as well. Now when I
compare the two, one day of CKI’s DCON was
filled with more spirit, more excitement, and
just way more of everything than three days of
KIWIN’S DCON. It was totally worth going the
weekend before my finals. The experiences I had
there are too great for me to fathom.
At the beginning of DCON we had to go into the
hotel’s ballroom. Stepping inte that place, I was
amazed at how filled it was with other CKI’ers
all decked out in their club’s theme attire ,
unique cheers and interesting props. It
overwhelmed me and I thought to myself, “Wow,
this is nothing like high school.” I loved how
our club had a signature cheer and what was
even better was that I knew how to do it. ( I
joined CKI two weeks before I went to DCON so I
wasn’t too familiar with many of our cheers).
My last day at DCON was a sad one because I
didn’t want to leave, but before we left we took
a group picture. By looking at the expression of
our faces in that picture, anyone would know
we had the best time ever. I never want to forget
my experience at DCON because it was just too
incredible.
I would totally go to DCON every year until I
graduate. My experience there was one to
remember, from the informative workshops and
prestigious awards to the exciting talent acts
and the awesome dance. DCON made me feel
proud to be a part of something bigger than
myself, proud to be a part of CKI.
Spring Fling By Agnes Chan
Saturday April, 27th 2013 marked a day where members of Circle K
International, Alpha Phi omega, Lambda Omicron Xi, and Rotaract
gathered together to learn more about each other. All four
organizations focus on making a positive contribution in the
community through service.
How it began: A few members from each organization thought it
would be nice to create an event where everyone from all four
organizations could come together and learn more about one
another. We all took the initiative to meet up and plan this event that
would not only allow members from each group learn more about
others who have the same passion and focus they have for
community service, but work together on a day of friendly
competition.
After all the games were completed, the judges calculated
all the points to see who the winning team was. After the
winning team was selected all the members of that team
would participate in a ninja face off to decide who the top
three overall winners were were.
Our very own Chris Cheng won second place!
Overall the original goal of having an event where all the
organizations could come out and meet everyone was
achieved. Out of the eighty six people who attended
twenty five were from Circle K International.
The Outcome. It was a day of fun and mingling,
filled with ice breakers, capture the flag, trivia,
and relay races.
Since our goal was to connect with others
outside of our own organization attendees were
sorted into 8 groups that had an even number
of people from each organization in each
group.
After the icebreakers, we played capture the
flag, and teams merged together forming 4
bigger teams. Shout out to Kyle Prado for being
able to acquire the flags in the second round,
wining it for his team.
Trivia was next with questions about each
organization. Trivia was then followed by relay
races.

March’s Member of the Month: Tony Li
CERF-ing like nobody’s business, service all day and night and always looking out for
others,. Even though Tony has only been in Circle K for a short period time he has
already made such an impact on the club. Congratulations on winning March MOM
Tony, UCD CKI can’t wait to see what you will do next.

Favorites
Food: FRUITS!
Service Project: I enjoy all types of service projects because I believe its good to be able to
make a difference in the community and allow it to develop whether it is improving the
environment , promoting a cause, or reading to elementary school kids. However I enjoy the
one where I am kept busy at all time and I am able to communicate with others.
Favorite Hangout:
Anywhere there is CKI. I am able to meet amazing people, learn more about CKI, and be
inspired by passionate members while improving myself through service.
Music: EDM, alternative, pop, orchestra/instrumentals, anything that doesn’t have explicit
content.
If you could be anything, what would you be?
A dedicated CKI member. They are such motivated and hardworking
people who can do anything they put their minds to, such as coordinating
large events, leading people while inspiring them. Furthermore, their actions
lead to positive results in the community.
What’s one thing you can’t live without?
CKI because my friends have become like a family to me.

Favorites:
Movie: Spirited Away
Service: PE Program. I had the opportunity to chair this event at the beginning of this
year. Whenever I went, I would see all the children running around having a fun time.
Just seeing the smiles on their faces makes me happy. After a while, some of the children
would recognize me and start clinging to me.
Hangout: I don’t really care where I hang out as long as I am with good company. I
believe that most boring places can be exciting with the right people, and the most
exciting places can be quite uninteresting if you don’t have anyone to share the
moment with. So as long as I am with my friends, any place can be my favorite place to
hang out.
If you could be anything, what would you want to be?
I like being myself but if I were to choose, I guess I would be a husky. Cause they
are oh so pretty and it would be interesting to live life in a different perspective.

Little: Ashley “Quirky-cute” Pestano
Opinion: I love how it’s pretty low

about Ashley is whenever she gets
something cool, or does something
she likes she gets all happy and
smiley. I definitely hope to do more
with Ashley in the future!

Name: Melanie Wong
Big: James Hui (no descriptive name because he is
“JUSTTOOAMAZING”)
Best memory: Every time we hangout is always a
memorable moment. He has helped me grow as a
person and as a member of Circle K. Seeing his passion
for this club has inspired me to become more active
and even run for Elected Board! He will always be my
big and I’m terribly sad that he is graduating this year,
but I know that the friendship we have developed will
remain strong.
