Pie-in-the-Face Fundraiser! Every year, the Georgia Circle K District hosts an annual Piein-the-Face auction where they auction off all the district board members, club presidents, and any others who will donate their face to raise money for charity. This year we had a guest auctioneer from Circle K International , Subregion Rep. Rob Accera, grace the stage with his charisma and laughter, as we raised an astonishing $1133.33 for the ELIMINATE Project! Club Presidents, Kristi Parker and LaDalia Howard were sold for $35 and $30, and Coastal Division Lt. Governor Brittany Horton was sold for $30.
