Cirkling Volume 48 Issue 2

On the morning of Sunday June 24th, Circle K mem-bers from all across the New Jersey District packed their bags and traveled down to the wonderful city of New Orleans, Louisiana, where they attended this year’s 56th annual Circle K International Convention!

As in year’s prior, the weekend kicked off with CKI’s annual Large Scale Service Project (LSSP), where members were given a chance to give back to the host city New Orleans itself. The fun-filled two-day event in-cluded a variety of service projects- ranging from paint-ing murals, all the way to planting mulch around trees!

Following the conclusion of the Large Scale Ser-vice Project, the convention itself kicked off with an explosive, spirit filled opening session! Mem-bers from all around the world gathered togetherin their Circle K apparel to celebrate the launch of another exciting International Convention. Yours truly even got a chance to MC the event as the convention’s proclaimed ‘voice of god!’

As the week continued, things began to heat up as candidates for International Office gathered to com-pete for places on this year’s 2012-2013 Circle K Inter-national Board. The competition was fierce, spanning heated debates & caucuses for two arduous days! By the end of the week however, the winners were an-nounced, and our new Circle K International Board will proudly consist of: Daniel Tsang as our next CKI Vice-President, Josephine Lukito as our next CKI President, and lastly our District’s very own Robert Acerra as our next Subregion F International Trustee!

In addition to the intense election season this year, members were also given the chance to partake in quite a few service-affiliated activities as well. On Thursday afternoon, dozens of organizations had a chance to showcase their great new service projects at this year’s Service Fair. The. New Jersey District’s one and only Annabelle Fallarme showcased our District’s very own service project, the Six Cents Initiative!

As the convention week progressed, Kiwanis Inter-national cordially invited Circle K International to this year’s annual Kiwanis International Conven-tion (also conveniently taking place in New Or-leans). Circle K members were given a chance to see just how truly fascinating their parent organization was, being treated to a variety of goodies which in-cluded: a live marching band performance to kick off the opening session, a wonderful introduction to all of the Kiwanis District Governors around the world, some great updates on the organization’s community service progress, a beautiful perfor-mance from some of the city’s local professional musicians, and lastly an inspiring keynote by par-ents of famous football player Michael Oher, Leigh Anne and Sean Tuohy (subjects of the hit 2009 movie The Blind Side). By the end of the Opening Session, those of us in CKI decided to give back to Kiwanis for their kindness in allowing us to attend their convention, and performed a giant ‘flash mob’ dance in their honor. The Flash Mob was met with warm praise, and the Kiwanis Family left that day with stronger bonds than it had ever held before.

Back at the Circle K International Convention, attendants had an opportunity to sharpen their leadership skills with informative workshops. Top-ics included learning how to recruit Key Club mem-bers, dealing with commonly faced leadership prob-lems, and even figuring out how to score a golden job opportunity after we graduate from college!

On Friday night, the fruitful year round ef-forts of each and every Circle K International district, club, and member had been put to the test with CKI’s annual Awards Ceremony. After dozens of cheers and celebrations, nearly

First and foremost, the District achieved distinguished status, and was only one of the few to do so this year! Other distinguished awards went to our District’s very own Danielle Sammut as Distinguished LTG, and Jennifer Hsieh as Distinguished Governor. On a club level, the big winners of the night included the Richard Stockton College Circle K who won 1st place in the Emerald Growth Enhancement Member-ship Award, The College of New Jersey who won the 2nd place Silver Award Growth Enhances Member-ship, and lastly Rutgers University who won second place single service for their Fall Benefit Concert.

On the final day of International Convention, members were treated to a free Leadership Lun-cheon, where they were given the chance to learn more about Kiwanis International’s partner-ship with the United States Army, and got an opportunity to hear an inspirational speech by the hit TV show Glee’s very own, Lauren Potter.

Soon enough the time came for the convention’s Closing Session. Throughout the session, a va-riety of highly talented Circle K acts performed for the masses one final time. The four acts in-cluded a ‘light saber’ style dance routine, an ace ukulele player, a great ballerina performance, and a breathtaking cover of Defying Gravity.

International President Steven Spriggs also took the stage one last time to offer his farewell address, and to thank Circle K International for a wonder-ful 2011-2012 service year. He wished us all luck, and then handed over the microphone to our newly elected International President, Josephine Luki-to, who proceeded to adjourn the convention. •

Well, hello wonderful New Jersey District Circle K’ers, I hope you are all doing well. My name is Amanda Wood and I am your New Jersey District of Circle K International Fundraising Chair!

All of us have been hard at work thinking of awesome service ideas and events to make this year the best it can be for all of our lovely clubs. I just wanted to let you know about a new tra-dition that I’ve helped start that I think is re-ally fun and something we can all take part in!

As you know, in order to do all the things that we do, we need to fundraise, which is where I come in. I have been emailing and calling numerous restaurants throughout the state, and Applebees has really been amazing to us. They offer up to any organization that they feel is in need, a Dining to Donate night, where

people bring in a flyer with our name on it, and Applebees donates 10% of each person’s order to us. They give us a very open time span to visit the restaurants and are always so pleasant and welcoming when we come. The time frame we are always given is 11am-9pm on the day of the event, which is very generous of them.

We held our first Dining to Donate event at the Applebees in Ocean Township, NJ on May 30th, and we had a great turnout. On June 27th, we hosted another one at the Applebees in Middletown and on July 7th we hosted a third one at the Applebees in Ocean again. Both were a success. While we don’t know yet, exactly how much we made, we know that any little bit helps. I thought since we all had...

Like many great organizations, the NJ District of Circle K requires quite a bit of funding in order to host the many events we hold all year round. In order to help boost these funds, District Chair Amanda Wood has found a fun, great new way to help us all support the mighty district we love so!

so much fun at those, that we should try and do at least one fundraiser each month.

Now while we’re in school it might be a little hard, but while we have the summer, I fig-ure let’s fundraise as much as humanly pos-sible! While eating some wonderful food, and raising money for our district, we get to have some bonding time with each other as well, what could be more fun than that? =)

So, for the end of July, we have one planned at the Applebees in Toms River on Hooper Ave by the Ocean County Mall for July 25th. In August, we have one planned for the 15th, at the Applebees in Howell, 4721 US Hwy. 9 North, Howell, New Jersey 07731. We have one the following week as well on the 21st in Middletown again, for those who missed the first one because of Internation-al Convention, at 1183 State Route 35, Middle-town, New Jersey 07748. And finally, we have one planned for just before we get back to school and get swamped with homework. That one is planned for September 4th and will be held at

Continued from page 3...the Applebees in Tinton Falls, NJ, which is locat-ed at 14 Park Rd, Tinton Falls, New Jersey 07724.

Well, that’s all for now folks, but keep on the lookout for more fundraisers to come! I so look forward to working on the board and am always open to any ideas that you have! If you have an idea for an awesome fundraiser, want to help out with one, or just want to chat, I’m here to listen! Email me anytime at the fol-lowing address: [email protected]. I hope to see your lovely faces very soon at one or all of these fun dining to donate nights! Anddon’t forget to print out the flyers before you go! All of these Dining to Donate events are on Facebook as well for those of you who want to join those pages for updates.

Thank you all so much and have a lovely summer! Live to Serve, Love to Serve <3! •

Victoria DaytonClub: DrewYear: Senior

“Out of all the members to walk through thevery doors of our mighty New Jersey District, very few have ever been able to parallel the suc-cess and dedication of member Victoria Day-ton. Serving for the second year in a row as Drew Circle K’s President, Victoria strives to make her club the best it can possibly be. Hav-ing hosted one of the summer’s biggest fundrais-ers for the Eliminate Project- Walk To Eliminate, attended International Convention, and writ-ten an article for this very issue of the Cirkling, Victora has shown us time and time again how lucky we are as a District to have her. Thanks for all the hard work Victoria, your amazing!”

This year, the NJ District has decided it’s time to bring back focus to the CKI Six Cents Initiative. Service Chair Shaaban Rizvi describes the initiative in greater detail below.

This upcoming service year, as New Jersey Circle K we intend to pay particular atten-tion to a service initiative whose aspiration has dwindled since its establishment. I am referring to UNICEF’S and CKI’s partner-ship for the “Six Cents Initiative”. This ini-tiative’s main goal is to provide people in im-poverish nations with clean drinking water. Since the 1970s, diarrhea has been the lead-ing cause of death in children within third world countries. During the mid-1970s the death rate from acute diarrhea was 5 million per year. Diarrhea does not seem to be a no-torious disease that kills because we have the resources necessary to survive. Unbeknownst to most people, diarrhea dehydrates the hu-man body at an alarming rate. The condi-tion affects children severely because children cannot store and process water as efficiently as adults. When a child is inflicted with diar-rhea, it is imperative that the child is prop-erly nourished and taken care of. However for those children who are deprived of clean drinking water, any water they attempt to use in order to replenish them only worsens their conditions. UNICEF has done a great job to help save these children with a simple in-novation known as Oral Rehydration Salts (ORS) packets, since the 1970s the death rate from acute diarrhea has dropped more than 60%! These packets help restore clean wa-ter to the body through the small intestines, in other words it provides children with the means to survive. Circle K international took notice of UNICEF’s endeavors and in Au-gust 2007 began the coalition between CKI and UNICEF to help replenish our world.

Furthermore during the upcoming service year NJCKI would like to focus on the bright future of our world, the children. Young kids all around the world will determinewhich path the world follows in the future; these children that are helpless now are the key to a successful future. If we lend them a hand now, they will be able to pull us up whenever we fall. As members of CKI we all have an obligation to aid people. Let’s take a step to help out kids all around the world! The beauty of this idea is that it is so sim-ple! Remember those packets I mentioned earlier, well they only cost 6 cents. One dollar can potentially save 16 children. It’s amazing how something so simple can be so helpful. Guys it’s not hard to fundraise, we can hold lemonade, hot chocolate and coffee stands and in college… EVERYONE drinks coffee. For example hold FREE coffee/hot cocoa stands all around your campuses. A pack of 50 hot chocolate packets is ~10$, as you are giving out the drinks leave a donation bottle in the corner followed by flyers packed with information about our cause. We’re not asking people to pledge money, donate huge amounts of cash or to dedicate time to our cause… we are asking for 6 cents. On top of the drink stands, collect empty water bottles. Every water bottle is refundable at a recycling station for 5 cents. After refunding all the bottles donate all of the cash directly to the Six Cents initiative. 6 empty water bottles save 5 children’s lives. Come one guys, let’s DO WORK this upcoming service year and show everyone what NJCKI is packing. •

One of the most important aspects of club building is creating fun, new, innovative service projects for your club to partake in- which can help both the community and the club itself grow. This summer, Drew University took it upon themselves to kickstart their idea, “Walk To Eliminate,” as a new way to fundraise for the ELIMINATE Project. Read up below on how Drew’s new event turned out. It may even inspire you to spark an idea for your own club!

On Sunday April 29th, students and fellow Circle Kers took to the paths of Drew University to take part in their first ever Walk to Eliminate. Drew University Circle K, which was re-char-tered this past year, planned this event to help get their name back out there on campus and in the community. While running into some complications with their school, they stuck to their plans and changed the date to a week later than originally planned. They held this event on Drew University’s campus in Madison, NJ, which lent itself to scenic pathways and nice weather.

Members of the Drew University club tabled in their commons throughout the week, taking both donations and registrations for the Eliminate Project. Although they did not gain as much partici-pation as they had hoped, everyone had a great time walking for the cause. Circle Kers from schools nearby, including Rutgers and TCNJ were just some of the people who took part in the walk.

Following the walk, the participants enjoyed soft pretzels and other snacks to refuel. Everyone also enjoyed a Chinese auction, which benefited the Eliminate Project and musical entertainment from some of Drew’s students. These groups included students, Rachel Schachter, whose music can be found on Pandora Radio, Daniel Shriver, and the student run all male a cappella group, 36 Madison Avenue. Everyone enjoyed the music so much that Danielle Sammut, the District Governor has hopes of bringing some of Drew’s musical groups to District Convention 2013.

After adding up all of the money from donations, registration costs, and money from the Chinese auction, Drew University Circle K ended up raising $262.50, all of which went directly to the Eliminate Project. The club says that they have hopes of holding another walk in the fall semester and if not then, definitely in the spring. Drew would like to thank all of those who participated in the walk and hope that they will have more participants the next time their walk occurs. Please join their group on Facebook by searching for Drew University Circle K in order to keep up to date on everything going on with the club. •

Drew University Circle K truly set an example for clubs across the New Jersry District to keep them minds fresh and open to new and intuitive service ideas. As a reward for their great work, they have been rewarded as this issue of the Cirkling’s Club Spotlight! Great work Drew, keep it up!

From there, the Matt McIntosh foundation was born. Their mission reads: “It is time to empower ourselves and inspire others. Sui-cide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. There is a better life out there for everyone struggling with depression and any of life’s problems. Join the cause and get involved. Don’t wait. Live.” Every Friday she would invite kids over. Each time some-one different would help make dinner with her and she would open her home graciously and cook food for anyone who came.

I never knew Matt, but when a good friend of mine told me about him and these meetings I had to go. My first meeting, I remember walking in and Mary hugging me and thanking me for coming and immediately asking me if I needed anything from her. I should’ve been asking her how I could help her! But this woman who had suffered such a tragedy had welcomed a girl she didn’t even know into her home and was incredibly sweet to me. The meeting opened with us saying the serenity prayer. It isn’t a religious group, but they said that at every meeting to open on an uplifting note. After we say that, we go around the room and say something that we are thankful for. It could be anything big or small. Then comes the time where anyone who wanted to talk about anything could. There is never any judgment, only kids with open arms who want to help each other out.

This group is very near and dear to my heart, because there were issues that I dealt with the past few years and for the first time in my life I felt like I had people who understood me and that I could talk to and get some closure. In the months after this group started, Mary has accomplished so much. She and Kevin Coopersmith also of Galloway were hard at work trying to become established as a nonprofit organization and soon enough they got it.

The group got together and planted a tree at the end of Matt’s street in honor of him. They also did a road cleanup and have participated in a lot of fun events. One of the members, Bryanna was in a dance talent show and we all showed up in support of her and wore our Matt McIntosh foundation t-shirts to get the word out about it. Mary decided that it would be a great idea to make bracelets as well as t-shirts and sweatshirts to sell for a reasonable price so that they could continue doing what they do. She wants to help out the members in any way that she can. She hopes to raise enough money to continue having these meet-ings as well as hopefully sending some of the members to college, if they cannot afford it. Mary is an amazing woman who is so strong and loving. She refers to each and every one of us as her children and she looks out for us like any mother would. She comes to our shows and participates in our lives. She is a very inspiring person who I look up to with such great respect. This group has done so much for me and so many others. Stockton students participate in going to meetings and helping in any way they can and we are working to make this as big as it can be. The group is open to any and all who want to go throughout the year.

If you would like to get more involved, look for the facebook page: The Matt McIntosh Foundation, or contact me for info at [email protected]. If you would like to donate or would like a bracelet or t-shirt contact me as well. Bracelets are $5.00. They are those bal-ance bracelets for surfers, because Matt was an avid surfer. They say the foundations name as well as the tagline “Don’t wait. Live.” T-shirts and sweatshirts vary in price. Thank you so much for reading about this organization. As I said it is very near and dear to my heart, and is something I love being a part of. Remember, there’s always a place you can go and be heard. Don’t wait. Live <3 •

Hello New Jersey District Circle K’ers! I’m Amanda Wood, your District Fundraising Chair and I’d love to tell you about a project that I am very passionate about. It’s something that affects a lot of teens and we are working to make sure that they can get help if they need it. On October 2nd, 2011 Mary McIntosh of Galloway, NJ had a conversation with her son, Matt. He had friends over that night, so she brought them home. She never thought that that would be the last conver-sation they would have. When she returned she found that her son had committed suicide.

That night as the news came out; many of Matt’s friends came to her rescue. They came over and spent the night in his room and stayed with Mary for days trying to find peace and grieve to-gether. After a few months of people coming over and spending time with Mary, she had an idea. Out of this tragedy, she felt that she wanted to find a way to help all the youths who were strug-gling. She read tons of books on depression and suicide to try and understand what was going on inside Matt’s head. She decided that she wasn’t going to let this happen to anyone else, especial-ly those that she knew. She told all the regular kids that were coming over that she wanted to have meetings every week where they could invite their friends, and open it up to the public so that any-one in the area who was dealing with anything could have a safe place to go and share their story.

In addition to creating fun and new service ideas, another important aspect of Club Building includes fostering the minds of fellow members to pursue service causes of their own. While Circle K International’s service partners are great affiliates and we’re always more than happy to assist them, it sometimes helps to volunteer your club’s service to something a fellow member may be passionate about. Read up below on a cause that fellow Stockton Circle K Member Amanda Wood feels deserved some of her our organization’s time and attention this year and for years to come!

Every Kiwanis Family member has their “mo-ment” when they truly realize that serving the world is a fundamental part of their lives. I had my moment during my freshman year when I served at the New Monmouth School summer program for children with disabilities. Doctors did not think three-year old Devon could ever walk, but her teachers and volunteers did not give up. Every day we worked with her so she could gain the strength and motivation neces-sary to overcome her physical disability. The moment she took her first steps changed my life. We all literally burst into tears as Devon did what everyone thought was impossible. This moment was my driving force as I continue to serve children with disabilities in the same program where I met Devon seven years ago.

Whether you have had your special “moment” or not, I guarantee that working with your local Aktion Club will provide you with rewarding ser-vice experiences that will change your life. I am so pleased to announce that my Governor’s Proj-ect this year is developing a stronger partnership between Circle K and Aktion Club through in-creased involvement in service projects, fundrais-ers, and social events. I want to share my passion for working with people with disabilities with the entire NJ District and I hope that through this experience you will see life a bit differently.

For those who don’t know what Aktion Club is, Aktion Club is the only service club for adults with disabilities, with more than 9,000 members world-wide. It is the newest Service Leadership Program to the Kiwanis Family, becoming offi-cial in 2000. Many Circle K’ers have heard of Ak-tion Club but have not had many opportunities to volunteer with them. I want to change this!

I have already been working with the Aktion Club of Allies Hamilton alongside members from Kiwanis Young Professionals by attending their meetings and events this summer! I am ex-cited to introduce my new Aktion Club friends to my home club of TCNJ so that we can col-laborate with service projects and fundraisers. We have already been brainstorming a poetry night at Barnes and Nobles to support a charity.

My challenge to every club in the NJ district is to connect with your local Aktion Club and become partners in service! I will be send-ing Club Presidents a list of the Aktion Clubs closest to their college/university so that you can get connected with an Aktion Club near-est you! Here is a list of the Aktion Clubs in New Jersey: Aktion Club of Allies Hamilton, Aktion Club of Gloucester County, Aktion Club of Morris County, Aktion Club of Atlan-tic County, Aktion Club of Building Bridges.

Take action with Aktion Club today! Whether you dedicate one day to serve with Aktion Club or foster a life-long commitment with them, your partnership will create immeasurable unity among our Kiwanis family branches and will inevitably touch your life. Visit http://www.aktionclub.org/Home.aspx to research Aktion Club and to brainstorm ideas of how your club can get involved! Thank you for supporting my Governor’s Project! I cannot wait to hear about your memorable service experiences! •

Every service year, the NJ District Governor makes an effort to start up a Governor’s Project, which brings district wide focus on a cause deemed neces-sary of our time and attention. This year’s project is the Aktion Club. Below, District Governor Sammut talks more in depth about the project itself.

Club Monthly Report Forms (MRFs for short) may seem like a daunting task, but don’t fret! It is my duty to assist you every step of the way. For those of you who don’t know, Club MRFs are to be filled out by the Club Secretary by the 5th of every month and sent to the Club Advisor, Club Presi-dent, the Lieutenant Governor of your respective division, and myself! Currently, the format of the MRF is an Excel Spreadsheet, and can be emailed to you by me at any time. I have been looking into alternate formats of the MRF, and will be working with the District Secretaries from the California-Nevada-Hawaii and the Illinois-Eastern Iowa Dis-tricts to make the MRF simpler and easier to use!

You might be wondering, “What’s SO important about filling out MRFs?” One purpose of MRFs is to check up on every club in our mighty district on a monthly basis and make sure they are participating in service projects and holding club meetings regu-larly. There is also a section on the form for any spe-cific questions clubs may have, which I can answer or forward to Governor Danielle! Another important reason we use MRFs is so that the New Jersey District has an accurate record of all fundraising totals, ser-vice hours, and the dues paid members for the service year. Our totals are recognized by Circle K Interna-tional, so that they can see how New Jersey is doing compared to the other districts around the world! •

When it comes down to actually reporting your club’s service hours to the NJ District, the best resource to use is the Club Monthly Report Form. If you’ve never heard of the form, don’t worry! District Secretary Kreder has the 411 on the topic below.

Service hour reporting is one of the most basic, yet utterly crucial concepts of Circle K International. It’s important for clubs to make sure that each and every one of their members’ hours are being reported to and recorded by CKI. Below, we’ve compiled a quick little guide to expand on the topic.

Another important aspect of reporting service hours is educating your members on what actually constitutes a ‘service hour’ itself. Check out the definitions below to get yourself better acquainted with Circle K International’s idea of a real service hour!

•Service project preparation time- includes the time spent coor-dinating a particular service project, such as planning and setup•Travel time- for a project which is mainly service in nature, FULL travel time may not be counted; for a project which is ser-vice and social in nature, ONE-WAY travel time may be counted•Fundraisers for which funds are donated by a charity•Any CKI-sponsered service project or a service project not di-rectly sponsored by CKI but which has been pre-approved by the CKI Club Board and is open to the entire club for participation

Events that do count towards CKI Service Hours

-CKInsider 2009-2010 Edition

Events that do not count towards CKI Service Hours

•Travel time or time spent at any non-CKI service events•Administrative hours •Projects which are not open to the entire CKI club or which are not pre-approved by the CKI Club Board of Officers

Kiwanians around the globe have one common goal: To serve the children of the world. Kiwanis advocates this vision every day by providing opportunities to serve for every member of a community through Service Leadership Programs. Through these opportunities, youth and young adults around the world become competent, capable and compassionate leaders.

Nearly 40, 000 middle and junior high students in 1,300 clubs in 18 nations contrib-ute service to school and community while developing leadership and people skills. Builders Club members implement practical service-learning principals as they focus on supporting organizations that focus on the needs of children.

Key Club is the oldest and largest service program for high school students. It is a student-led orga-nization that teaches leadership through service to others. Members of the Kiwanis International family, Key Club members build themselves as they build their schools and communities. Key Club has approximately 260,000 members in approximately 5,000 clubs. Key Club is represented in 30 countries.

K-Kids is a student-led community service club for elementary students that teaches members the value of helping others through participation in community service proj-ects and club activities.

Aktion Club members in more than 200 clubs in seven nations allow adults living with disabilities to develop initiative and leadership skills through hands-on service. These adults return to the community the benefits, help, and caring they have received.
