Excerpts from the Execs J A N U A RY ISSUE 2
Governor Stefan Ludlow, Secretary Virginia Byrd, Treasurer Elizabeth Ludlow, & Bulletin Editor Brittany Horton
Governor I wanted to take an opportunity to request that clubs remember to submit their service hours to the district each month through the online CMR form. We are doing very well on our service hour goal of 4,500 for this CKI year (April 1 – March 31), but still have a way to go in the next 2.5 months. I would like to issue a challenge to all the members of the Georgia District; I challenge each and every one of you to complete 15 hours of service before March 31. It doesn’t matter how you fulfill this goal, you could do 15 service projects for an hour each or you could do one big project that lasts a full weekend. If we can reach the goal of 15 hours per member and remember to report it to the district through the CMR, we will strongly out do our district goal of 4,500 hours. As a part of my commitment to see the district meet its service hour goal, I pledge myself to do at least 50 hours of service between now and the end of my term as Governor. Let’s all work together in the last push to help the district to meet its goals! ~Stefan Ludlow
Deadline: February 22, 2013
Secretary Besides serving as your District Secretary, I also serve as the Kiwanis Family Chair. I would have to say that this is one of my favorite jobs I have had because I get to promote Kiwanis Family Relations. Circle K exists today because of our parent organization, Kiwanis. I encourage all of you to engage in Kiwanis Family Relations with every member of the Kiwanis Family. Having a relationship with your Kiwanis Family counterparts is one of the special blessing of being in Circle K. If you have any questions please contact me at kfamily@georgiacirclek.org. ~Virginia Byrd
