WELCOME TO THE NEW SCHOOL YEAR

NEVER GROW TIRED OF SERVICE By District Governor Alyssa Smalley
Kiwanis and UNICEF have joined forces to eliminate maternal and neonatal tetanus, or MNT. This deadly disease claims the lives of nearly 60,000 newborn children yearly. MNT also claims the lives of several mothers as well. To Eliminate MNT the total cost will be $110 million. For just $1.80, you can save a life. That’s right; it costs less to save a life than it does to buy a cup of coffee from Starbucks in the morning.
As the Rocky Mountain Circle K District, our goal is to raise $1009.00 for the Eliminate Project this year.
The reason behind having a goal of $1009 is because every nine minutes a baby dies from MNT.
Here is a list of fundraising ideas to help your club start raising money:
Bad Movie Night: Host a “free” movie night and play bad movies. To get out of the door, you have to pay $1.80.
Bake Sales: Charge $1.80 for all goods
Shots4Shots: Have a 50/50 raffle at basketball games and charge $1.80 for all tickets. At halftime draw a ticket and if they make a half-court shot, they get half of the proceeds and the other half goes directly to the Eliminate Project. If the shot is missed, all the money raised goes to Eliminate.
At the International level, there is a recognition program to award clubs who have gone above and beyond in their fundraising efforts.
The awards are as follows:
Bronze: $350 (190 lives saved)
Silver: $500 (275 lives saved)
Model Club: $750 (416 lives saved)
So get out there and do your part in eliminating maternal neonatal tetanus!

By Rebekah Romberg,
K-Family Relations Chair
I’d like to start by
introducing myself and
saying hello. My name is
Rebekah Romberg and I am
the K Family Relations Chair
for the Rocky Mountain
District CKI this year. Hello!
I’m so excited to be serving
on the district board and to
tell you more about our
district project.
As a district board,
Rocky Mountain District CKI
has decided to make our
district project Kids Against
Hunger. The name really
explains it all. Kids Against
Hunger is a nonprofit
organization, which operates
internationally to combat
world hunger. One of the
cornerstones of this
organization is the food they
send. It contains a
combination of white rice,
soy, vegetables, and a
vitamin and mineral powder,
which when combined
creates a meal that combats
children’s hunger unlike other
food. These food packages
are
sent to families across the
United States and to over 60
countries across the world.
So where does CKI
come in? What is the actual
district project? Our goal is to
have each Circle K club in
the Rocky Mountain District
raise enough money to do a
packaging event. Packaging
events essentially consist of
packing boxes with food
packages to be shipped
locally or internationally. Our
goal is to host this packaging
event at the CKI District
Convention. As the K Family
Relations Chair, one of my
biggest goals for the event is
to bring members together
from every branch of the K
Family from all over the
Rocky Mountain District.
I bet you’re wondering
how you can help, aren’t
you? Come to CKI District
Convention! Whoever you
are, wherever you are, we
want your help at the
packaging event!
