LETTER FROM THE
EDITOR
As Fall semester begins, I am pleased to announce our third monthly newsletter! We are ecstatic over the influx of new members as we strive to grow and evolve as an organization. Don’t let the stress of school discourage you from pursuing your dreams and being involved with the community. As your Public Relations Chair, it is my duty to create a newsletter that will capture the essence of Circle K International. Our monthly newsletter serves as a valuable record for our year of service and provides a framework for every aspect of our club. Here you’ll find details on our service events, meetings, fundraisers, and socials. The concept behind our newsletter is ENVISION; envision a world built on service. We seek to bring out the inner visionary in every member and inspire those to become future leaders. The first step is envisioning; the second step is bringing those ideas to life. Hopefully our newsletter will inspire you to get involved and get engaged with our club. With Care,
Anthony White Public Relations 2015-2016

SPOTLIGHT with Jackie Cabrera What is your year and major? I am an incoming fourth year International Studies major. My area of concentration in my major is Latin America and the Caribbean, specifically dealing with culture and identity of the people. Why did you first join Circle K? I wanted to try something new, something that involves making the community a better place, and getting out of my comfort zone (since I’m such an introvert). As soon as I found out the purpose of Circle K as being a community service organization and met all the amazing people in the club, I loved it then on and out. What are your favorite service events? My favorite service events are Pet Literacy and Bolsa Chica Wetlands Restoration. I love anything that has to do with animals and there is no better feeling than being outside in the fresh air and helping the wetlands be trash-free. What is your favorite food? I do not really have a specific favorite food, but I do love Italian food in general. I really love to eat Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo and Madagascar Chocolate gelato. One of my favorite drinks is Vietnamese ice coffee. What music do you like to listen to? Spanish rock, Korean pop, and 80’s rock/pop music. My favorite artist is Manu Chao, who has been one of my favorites since sixth grade. What hobbies do you have? I enjoy drawing, reading novels (plus mangas), playing tennis, writing short stories, watching anime, and playing video games. Summarize your duties as a board member. I am the club’s Historian/Scrapbook Chair. My duties as a board member are evident since I am often seen taking photos at most of all our CKI events, whether it’s a social event or service event. I am also in charge of arranging our photos into an awesome scrapbook, which captures all of the club’s most memorable events and memories together representing the essence of Circle K International. What do you enjoy about your position? This position allows me to be creative with my tasks. It is always fun to capture moments of people working together to help others, friends enjoying service, and members bonding at socials. The scrapbook position gives me the opportunity to be super creative and artistic with the photos and work with people who also love to be imaginative. How has your position helped you grow as a person? I get to see the progress that our club members make at every service event throughout the year and it makes me value the importance of helping others and making a difference in our community. What advice/words of wisdom would you give to other members? Just keep doing your very best to make good changes in the community and enjoy the people around you because what matters at the end of the day is having to feel happy with the changes you made with friends who encourage you to always be the best you that you can be.

Service
Clean LB Beach Clean Up by Nich Dinh
An appropriate summer service is a mellow service at the beach. One of those hour service, it goes by quick but the impact of the service is evident on the community. There are families just along the beach enjoying their summer among the small pieces of plastic and glass that wash up on the sand. However, volunteers are given two bags, one for recyclables and one for trash, and are told to scour the beach for those pieces of plastic and glass that may potentially harm someone. Accompanied by the occasional breeze of Pacific ocean, volunteers do as their told and cleanse the shoreline of debris and things that do not belong in the sandy ecosystem. Once the hour is up and the materials are brought back to the service area, the coordinators of the event feed you. Whenever a service feeds you, it’s obviously one of the best services you can go to. Not only do they feed you but they allow you seconds and thirds. Besides giving you subsistence, they converse with you for a while to give you that mental subsistence.
The Child Abuse Prevention Center by Richelle Son
The Child Abuse Prevention Center is a new service that was implemented this month. For this month’s events, CSULB Circle K volunteered at the center’s basic needs warehouse located in Garden Grove. The Child Abuse Prevention Center is the nation’s leading non-profit, child abuse prevention organization. Working closely with at-risk children and caseworkers, the Child Abuse Prevention center aims to improve parentchild relationships when matching at-risk children into new foster homes. At the basic needs warehouse, Circle K members sort through boxes and bags of clothing, shoes and toys. The sorted items are given to the children when they are placed in a new foster home. The warehouse stores hygiene material, strollers, mattresses and an assortment of clothes for clients of all ages. With limited storage room in the warehouse, the Child Abuse Prevention Center constantly seeks help from volunteers to organize the warehouse as well as sort through the donations. Among children’s items, there are jeans, assorted winter coats and women’s business attire that are separated to be sent away to other organizations in need. Boxes and shelves filled to the brim with clothing and childcare items line the walls of the warehouse as volunteers make their way towards open warehouse space to organize donation boxes. Throughout the day, delivery trucks arrive with new shipments of goods and depart with sorted items for other organizations. With the international service initiative focused on children, CSULB Circle K hopes to continue this

Meals on Wheels by Sean Villaverde
Not everyone has the benefit of being able to purchase their own meals. The sick, the elderly, the disabled; these are all examples of individuals who are physically incapable of doing so. One of Circle K's prerogatives as a service organization is to serve those who cannot serve themselves for whatewver reason, and to provide for those less fortunate than one should ever be in an ideal world. For this reason, one of our few continuing service projects is Meals on Wheels, where we volunteer with the titular organization which delivers meals to those who need them most. This particular service project occurs every other Friday around 7:30 in the morning. While the earliness may seem daunting, it truly is worth it. Just the knowledge alone that you're helping the helpless get the meals they need is worth all of the early mornings in the world, but if you like you can even sign up to be a friendly visitor and see the smiling faces of the people who use Meals on Wheels, smiles you helped deliver.
Greet & Cheer Special Olympics Delegation by Natalie Mann
From July 21st – July 23rd, we assisted the Kiwanis Club of La Mirada and Division 30 North Key Club with the Special Olympics at BIOLA University. We helped welcome delegations from Russia and Macau by preparing rooms, posters, snacks, and festivities. We also helped bring luggage to rooms. Because the Russian delegates arrived close to midnight on the 21st, many of us were scrambling to help them get settled. They had just endured 36 hours of traveling and many of them were exhausted and hungry. We found that it was difficult to communicate with many of them due to the language barrier, but it was a great experience to be able to help welcome them to our home city. In addition, we also helped prepare a Frozen movie night for the Russian delegates. We had popcorn and water and we set up cardboard cutouts of the Frozen characters. For their last night at BIOLA, we had a concert at La Mirada Regional Park. We served snow cones and Vitamin Water to the Russian delegates as well as people of La Mirada. It was great to see the city come together to bond with the Russian delegates. Many of the delegates were dancing to the music and enjoying themselves. Ultimately, the Special Olympics has been such a wonderful, heartwarming experience and it has

Cheering for Athletes @LB Special Olympics by Jackie Cabrera
In honor of the Special Olympics hosted in parts of Los Angeles this year, some of our club members got to participate as “Fans in the Stands” as we cheered on the participants in their sporting events. In the case of our club members, we were lucky enough to have participated in two events that were going on in Long Beach in one day. The first event we went to was the Sailing event happening by the Belmont Shore Memorial Pier. At this event, we had to watch from the end of the pier as ten boats competed to show off to the judges their expert sailing skills out in the ocean. Our job was to cheer loudly with enthusiasm and applause for encouragement for all the competitors to show support. It was very nice to be out there at the pier since some of the participants would wave at us sometimes as they turned and you could see how much they enjoy sailing their boats. Also, there was an occasional sighting of cute seals swimming in the water so that was bonus for us to see.
The second event was a bit far off from the pier down by the Alamitos Beach where the Beach Volleyball event was going to take place. The Beach Volleyball event was a unique one since they had Special Olympic participants from different places team up with surprise guests like past Olympic winners and people such as Johnny Bananas. The games going on at the beach were a mix of teams with different people playing for the fun of the sport. We as “Fans in the Stands” did our utmost job to show support and cheeriness for the athletes as they all had a great game together. This game was very pleasant in the sense that you get to see a variety of people literally come to play a sport they love regardless of where they come from, how old they are, or what gender they are, it was all just for the love of the game that brings them together for this occasion. Overall by the end of the day, we all had a great time at this event and really felt like winners for getting to participate in such an event since it will be a long time until the next Special Olympics (or even Olympics) come to Los Angeles or close to home. The event was remarkable and inspiring since it is always nice to see people come together from all over the world to enjoy each other’s love of their sport. It’s very heartwarming and I hope some of our club members gets the chance later someday to do what we did because it’s an awe-inspiring experience.

Bolsa Chica Wetland Restoration by Richelle Son
An event hosted by the Bolsa Chica Conservancy in Huntington Beach, the Bolsa Chica Wetlands Restoration Project is aimed to restore and preserve the wetlands for years to come. This event starts at 9:30am and tentatively ends around noon time. Key Clubs from local high schools, various youth groups accompanied by their parental guardians worked alongside CSULB Circle K to clean up the wetlands. Volunteers adorn neon-colored vests and gardening gloves while hiking down the paths of the wetlands to remove invasive species, such as sea rockets and ice plants. These invasive species are detrimental to the growth of California-native plants which are supposed to thrive in the wetlands ecosystem. Volunteers collected these plants in trash bags and loaded the materials on to a truck bed upon completion and rewarded themselves with a stroll back to the conservancy where they removed their gloves and vests.With the heat of summer, the Bolsa Chica Conservancy workers stressed the importance of staying hydrated throughout the event as well as taking small breaks to not wear out the volunteers. Having attended the event, Jackie Cabrera describes her experience of the event: ”Throughout our long walk to the next destination we actively picked up trash from bushes while we observed tiny lizards and orange spotted bugs around us. The walk was a good exercise and people that run the trail would always come up to us and say they like what we were doing or give a friendly thank you. This service event is one that can educate a person about the importance of conservation of plants, but also the maintenance of keeping nature clean and beautiful.”
Child Abuse Prevention Center (Backpack Stuffing Day) by Richelle Son
12
A second type of event offered by the Child Abuse Prevention Center is Backpack Stuffing Day. The organization prepares backpacks for children involved in their foster program. The backpacks include notebooks, binders, writing utensils, and various back-to-school essentials. The organization fills these backpacks with donations from stores and organizations as well as purchases bought by the organization itself. To ease the foster child into its new surroundings, the Child Abuse Prevention Center’s backpack stuffing day eases the child’s transition to new homes and new schools. For backpack stuffing day, members arrived at the organization’s main office to organize materials needed for its backpack giveaway. School supplies were moved from the storage room to the conference room where CKI members took inventory and organized the supplies according to its type. Though the backpacks were not stuffed in this month’s allotted volunteer time, volunteers took inventory of the available school supplies and organized the supplies into piles for later usage. These organized piles are used for future backpack stuffing days when volunteers
Monday Night Mission by Jackie Cabrera
On a Monday night, we find ourselves making peanut butter and jelly sandwiches outside a Burger King in Los Angeles. One can only imagine us gathering around a few tables outside, taking turns making the sandwiches, and putting them in Ziploc bags as we all converse of how the experience would be like going to Skid Row. As soon as we finished up making the sandwiches, all of the volunteers circled around the organization leader, who would be explaining what would be going on when we get to Skid Row. He gave a very procedural speech on what would go on while we were at Skid Row and advised us to be cautious of our surroundings because anything can happen. When you hear the procedures, one can only sense a bit of nervousness going to Skid Row since it sounds like going on a journey in which you do not know what kind of things you will see, After the hearing of the procedures, all the volunteers carpool to Skid Row, which is about ten minutes away from the Burger King. As soon as we get to the dim lighted street of Skid Row all of us move quickly to set up the table with food and make a perimeter around it. The homeless know what to do since they know how the organization works, so they get in one big line including a side line for the disabled homeless. All the volunteers stood shoulder to shoulder around the table as they talk to the homeless people that surround us. As the homeless people get in line and are up next to get a plate of food, their name or name they are identified with are called out as we give a huge hello and hi to them. I got the chance to directly give the plate of food to the homeless people on Skid Row, let me tell you, there is nothing more fulfilling than to help others in need. That night we fed about two hundred and fifty people or so since some would go in line more than a few times. Overall, we end the night feeling very philosophical towards the problem of homelessness in Los Angeles and realize that Los Angeles is a broken society since Skid Row exist. Literally an experience that everyone should go through because it is an eye opening event.

July DCM & ECC Running Man Race by Natalie Mann
On Saturday, July 25th, we had our annual Running Man DCM. Each of us were split into teams and we had to complete a course of various games and tasks. Some of these tasks included carrying a teammate up a hill and doing squats and singing song lyrics correctly as team. A lot of the games were interesting and many of us were super competitive. Once the team portion of Running Man was completed, there was a final round that consisted of an individual challenge. Each person had a sign taped to his/her backs. The objective was to rip off each person’s sign and to remain the last one with a sign taped to your back. It was extremely intense, and alliances were broken by the end. CSUDH President, Belen Lujano, was the winner of this crazy round! In between the team and individual rounds of the Running Man games, we had our DCM. I had the opportunity to host a workshop on stress management. I was able to give tips on staying strong and positive throughout all of the stressful things that go on in life. CSUN President, Clare Smith, also hosted a workshop on camping. She is super experienced and knowledgeable, so it was very cool to hear everything she shared about her camping adventures and camping tips. Aside from the workshops, we went through a lot of international, district, division, and club news and updates. Following the DCM, we supported ECC at their Ono Hawaiian BBQ fundraiser. After a long day of physical activity and division business, we were all super hungry! It was awesome to have the opportunity to support our division buddies at their event. Overall, it was quite a busy day full of leadership and fellowship with the Metro division family.
Metro August DCM by Sean Villaverde
Driving to downtown Los Angeles while risking gas expenses and UCLA traffic on the Sunday before a new school year started sounds like it would never make it on a list of "things to do to end my summer with a bang", but we did it anyways. On August 23rd, several of our members attended a Metro Divisional Council Meeting hosted at UCLA, what amounted to a last hurrah before summer's end. The DCM proper was scheduled from 3:30 to 5:00, but we were supposed to arrive at 1:00 for some interesting workshops and team-building exercises, and possibly even earlier if we wanted to participate in a Veggie Grill divisional fundraiser. Once we were all gathered in the Ackerman Viewpoint Conference Room of UCLA's Ackerman Building, we Metronians started our time together on a hopeful note of futures and possibilities. We had a little icebreaker where we shared dreams and aspirations with each other on quaint little postits, followed by a helpful workshop on resume building and interviews hosted by CSULB CKI's very own Johnny Cao Nguyen. Later, as more members from across the division filtered in, we engaged in a team-building exercises where blindfolded members were directed by their teammates. We had another workshop given by UCLA's Julianna Deer and Jacob Virtuoso on member recruitment and retention, which somehow involved elevator speeches, bank robberies, and learning your "true colors". These exciting bonding activities led into the actual DCM, where we discussed topics pertaining to our

July District Board Meeting by Johnny Cao-Nguyen
It was a bright and early morning at the Kiwanis Professional Center in Rancho Cucamonga. I’ve been to this Center more times than I could ever imagine, a few times back in my old Key Club days and a few more times during my involvement with Circle K. Regardless of when I was there, it was always for one important thing—the CNH District Board meeting. Unlike other Board Meetings that happen pretty regularly, the CNH District Board only meets officially at most five times a year. Even though they don’t occur very often, the decisions made at this meeting not only affect current members of Circle K, but also future generations of Circle K members as well. One of the reasons why I love going to the District Board meetings is that I get to see the passion in the District Board members who are debating over the issues and the topics that affect us directly. The Lieutenant Governors actively fight and vote for what they think is important to the members that they represent and it shows how dedicated they are to ensuring that we have the best experience possible in Circle K. These meetings aren’t only about business. Sure, there’s a lot of things to get done, but with members from all over the District attending, there’s bound to be some great bonding moments as well. After the meeting, I got to see old friends that I’ve made during my time in Circle K and I also got to meet some of the new faces that are so willing and eager to change the organization for the better. District Board Meetings may seem dull simply because of the word “meeting,” but they are always much more than that. They’re a chance for members to gain knowledge and information about what is going on in the District while also getting to interact with members from other clubs, which, in my opinion, is what made my Circle K experience so amazing. All of the friends that I’ve made in Circle K from across the District, they are the ones that allowed me to enjoy my time so much.

Family points are then totaled up for the end of the year to decide the winning family!
LEADERSHIP
ELIMINATE Project Kiwanis has joined forces with UNICEF to help eliminate Maternal and Neonatal Tetanus from around the world! Circle K hopes to contribute by helping Kiwanis reach their goal of raising $110 million dollars to eradicate this disease from every country in the world.
As a member of CKI, you stand out as a leader who plans to make a difference in the world. Through the CKI structure, every member also has the opportunity to develop leadership skills by serving as an officer or committee chairperson. Whether serving as a club project chair, district officer, or International Representative, each member has the opportunity to discover and develop talents and skills.

successful) Karaoke Night. There were cash prizes for the talents that got 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place and I was lucky enough to get 1st place with my performance of Rachel Platten’s “Fight Song.”
For as long as I can remember, my sponsoring Kiwanis Club has always supported me in multiple ways, whether it was academically, socially, or in some cases, financially. In high school, I graduated being the sole recipient of a scholarship from the Kiwanis of Cypress for my involvement in Key Club. And now, even in college, I am receiving financial assistance (although in a much smaller amount) from the Kiwanis of Long Beach. On July 28th, the Kiwanis of Long Beach held a joint meeting with other Kiwanis clubs in the area as well as with their sponsored Circle K and Key Club members. The meeting was less of a meeting and more of a social where attendees were invited to participate in a Talent Show and a (less than
Besides my talent performance, there were a lot of other really great and amusing performances as well. A few were from Key Club members, one being a marvelous magic act that got 2nd place and another being a really funny comedy act that got 3rd place. There were also some Kiwanis members that performed as well, including one who played “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” on the piano, except that the piano was on a tie that she brought in. Overall, the night was a lot more fun and exciting than I thought it would be. After all these years, I continue to be enthralled by all that Kiwanis has to offer me. Any chance I have to attend an event with the Kiwanis or the Key Club members, I am definitely going to take.

Board Retreat by Natalie Mann
On Saturday, July 18th, members of our board joined together for a social day. Early in the morning, many of us drove to Compton for the July Divisional Service Project. Unfortunately, it rained and the event was cancelled. Despite Compton Initiative being cancelled, we still decided to make the most of the day. We headed back to my house to have a board meeting and to spend some time together. We went to a local, aesthetic boba shop called Cream and Sugar in La Mirada. Afterward, we went to get Korean BBQ and hung around Cerritos Mall. A lot of us were really tired and we ended up all napping in my room. Finally, before everyone parted ways, we went to Paris Baguette for some sweet treats! Even though it was a long, tiring day, we had a great time spending the day together. We missed the rest of our board members, but we hope to have an actual retreat with everyone present very soon!

Suggestions 1. Incorporating the International Service Initiative (i.e.) Table-top service where we make short stories for kids a. Volunteering at a children’s hospital b. Connecting with Builder’s Club. c. Volunteering at an orphanage. 2. Helping people who are trying to pursue an artistic life 3. Helping the elderly 4. Care-packagaae making (i.e. Easter basket making) 5. Food/clothing/toy drives 6. Service events at hospitals and clinics
7. More animal-based services such as volunteering at shelters and adoptions 8. We could host a karaoke event where people donate money to have another person sing. People can keep donating to have that person sing again if they want to. The person being asked to sing has to at least sing one song before they decline, but if they do they have to tell a good secret of theirs or get a haircut. Priority will go to the highest donations and all donations at the end will go to a charity. This might be a great bonding experience and a fun way to break people out of their shells. 9. Marathons such as Bubble Run, Color Run, Hit&Run, Mud Run, Disneyland Marathons, and Walk a Mile in Her Shoes
