Fall Membership Retreat Recap

At this year's FMR, we had 12 clubs representing. It's no secret that Fall Membership Retreat is our members' favorite event of the year. It's amazing that in just a short weekend, we all bonded so quickly and built friendships that last beyond the weekend and even beyond Circle K. We had the opportunity to grow our leadership skills and build on our commitment to Circle K and community service.

Thank you to everyone who was at the retreat this year and we can't wait to have you all there again!

I joined Circle K last Spring, so I honestly didn't know what to expect from such an event like FMR. What I stepped into though, was an amazing experience of bonding, service, and fun memories. Making friends with other club members was great and truly memorable were the stories we shared and the fun we had while we were there.

FMR 2019 was my fourth retreat with Circle K, and I loved being able to see old friends but also meet new members of the Georgia District. My favorite part was getting to go offsite for our service project to do trail maintenance in Covington. It was a great way to leave a lasting impact on the environment and the community that graciously hosts us each year.

FMR was an amazing time! I got the opportunity to reconnect with people I met at last year’s Day of Service and met with twice as many new members. By the end of the weekend, I felt really close with everyone I met, and I can’t wait to see them all at DCON!

FMR is always such a wholesome experience for me because I get to meet new people and get vulnerable with them! I think it’s amazing that strangers can become close in just a weekend, especially with the service involved and the late nights talking. Not to mention the warm and fuzzies, hands down my favorite part because we’re all building each other up. Ana Diaz University of Gerogia

This was my very first FMR. I had a very great time meeting other members of Circle K from out district and getting to connect with them while also learning about Circle K as a whole. It was also very fun to go out and do a service project with the whole group and accomplish a good amount of work in such a short time. It was really rewarding to help out the community like that. I’ll definitely try to go next year.

Fall Membership Retreat was stellar this year and made me want to be a kid again! It’s my second year going and I honestly think it just gets better; to be in a room full of people who are just so passionate to serve and so willing to be vulnerable is so refreshing and something you don’t see everyday. Thank you Circle K for giving me opportunities like this.

This year’s Fall Membership Retreat was an unforgettable experience that I’ll cherish for the rest of my life! Not only was I able to relax and reconnect with some old friends, but I also had a chance to make a whole bunch of new ones from all over the state, folks that I may never have gotten to meet otherwise. I had a blast cleaning up a nature trail for our service project, as well as learning about the different ways to serve within Circle K. I’d highly recommend all Circle K volunteers to consider going next fall! Daniel Scarborough Georgia Institute of Technology
