We're Halfway There...

Today, the Circle K International President notified me that we are halfway through our service year. I encourage everyone to think back over the past six months. What goals did you set for yourself at the start of the service year on April 1st? How many have accomplished? I encourage you to figure out what you still need to get done and what you would like to do in the next six months to accomplish your goals.

Best of luck!

First-Ever New York DLSSP Recap

On the weekend of September 11th to 13th, we held the first-ever New York District Large Scale Service Project at Kamp Kiwanis in Taberg. Over the course of the weekend, we focused extensively on service and fellowship, and it was a great success! We bonded over icebreakers and team-building activities, and we even had a bonfire on Saturday night. We assisted the camp with filing, shellacking, laundry, and furniture-moving. The weekend was a lot of fun, and we hope you can make it next year!

Outstanding Club of the Month Award

Greetings NYCKI!

As I mentioned earlier on in the year, I am instituting an Outstanding Club of the Month Award. Due to the fact that we were away from school for most of the start of the service year, I had postponed the application start date. The application is now available, so please click here to download it.

Any member of NYCKI may nominate any club in the district. This is a great means of recognizing our clubs for their hard work throughout the service year, so I encourage you to make a nomination today!

Applications for Outstanding Club for October will be due on September 27th. Similarly, all nomination forms will be due on the 27th of each month (for consideration for the following month's award).

Thanks!
