Some Quick ICON Updates
Hey Everyone,
I got back from ICON yesterday afternoon, so I'm gradually getting back in the swing of things. I just wanted to quickly update you with election results from ICON. On Friday, Jason Stewart of the Ohio District was elected Circle K International President, and on Saturday, JJ Sadler of the Illinois-Eastern Iowa District was elected Circle K International President. Sub-Region F does not have a new International Representative yet, but we will be following protocol to elect one in the next few weeks.
I also wanted to extend congratulations and thanks to Immediate-Past International President Kristen Reed and Immediate-Past International Representative Eric Hotchkiss, both of our district, on successful terms. Kristen and Eric have been endlessly helpful and supportive of us, and I could neither be more thankful of them nor ask for a better President and Representative. They have served our district and organization well, and I am proud to call them my friends.
In the next few days, I'll try to update you with some more information from LSSP and ICON.
Thanks!

Busy Day at ICON
Today, we did the Circle K Amazing Race, the last activity of LSSP. Afterwards, we came back to the hotel, and a few of us went to the CLE (Club Leadership Education) Training (basically training us to be trainers). Kandra Sejas, the CKI Specialist, led this program, and she did a great job and presented us with many good ideas.
After CLE Training, we were able to check into our new hotel rooms. By the time we had managed to check in, we had very little time left before the opening session of ICON, so we quickly rehearsed our district cheer several times. Following this, I went to the rehearsal (and used a teleprompter for the first time in my life!).
Tonight, I also had the honor of carrying the American Flag onto the stage for the singing of the National Anthem.
Following the opening session, I assisted with the STUFH table at the service fair. The New York table looked amazing. LTG Jo did a great job in constructing the bookcase scene to showcase our District Project's focus on the importance of literacy.
We have a lot to do tomorrow morning, including an International Council meeting at 8AM, so I should probably try to get some sleep.

On Termites and Transitions
The Circle K International Large Scale Service Project will conclude tomorrow, and the International Convention will be beginning immediately thereafter.
Right now, I am sitting in the lobby of the Sheraton Birmingham (3:22 AM in Central Time), and we've been busy working with Habitat for Humanity, Big Brothers Big Sisters, and the Birmingham Zoo.
While working with Habitat for Humanity, our weather was less than ideal (by far). We endured a torrential downpour and blistering heat while attempting to scrape and paint a house. Unfortunately, when the rains started (repeatedly), the hard work we had done in painting was quite literally washed away.
While volunteering for Big Brothers Big Sisters, we cleaned out a storage area and helped fold and sort tee-shirts. In the end, I was given five BBBS shirts and a stuffed tiger golf club cover, which was very fitting, as my team name is "The Tigers".
At the Birmingham Zoo, we washed garbage cans, tables, benches, and a number of other surfaces. We also were assigned to dismantle and destroy a shed. I must say that swinging a sledgehammer into the front wall of a shed repeatedly is quite therapeutic, especially after a long day of hard work, but the presence of thousands of termites was definitely a detractor from the experience.
Tomorrow is Fellowship Day (well, at least the first part of the day). We will then be transitioning into ICON, so we've still got a few days left in the sweltering south - er - Magic City.
