Pay it forward You will need: Members and the business cards. Description: Turn service into a traded commodity at your school by pledging to pay it forward. Begin by printing business cards with inspirational sayings, interesting facts and of course the Circle K logo, and your new motto, "pay it forward." Then, as you help a fellow student pick up their books, pay for the next car’s fast food at the window, etc., pass along one of your cards and urge the recipient to show their thanks by performing another act of kindness and passing along the card. This is a great service project to introduce at a club meeting. Service Chair Victoria Byrd

Facts 4 Candy Supplies: 1 bag of candy Room of people Instructions: To begin your meeting, have everyone take turns telling their name, major, year, and an interesting face about themselves. The sillier the fact, the better (personally I have used that I once realized I could open a soda with my toes). For each fact they give, they receive a piece of candy, up to three facts. Then you have successfully satisfied a sweet tooth and gotten everyone talking. Lt. Governor Kristi Parker
Having a well-organized display table is essential when recruiting new members for Circle K. There are many things you can do to spruce up a recruitment table. To add a splash of color, start off with a table cloth, and then add some pictures. These pictures can be on a poster, tri board, or trying a little something new have a slide show going on a tablet of all the wonderful service and social activities your club has done. Try your best to have a variety of people in the pictures. Another great option to dress up the table is to frame some key pictures. In introduction, Circle K is a service organization, but pictures help you explain all the great aspects of Circle K. Lt. Governor Lori Gonzales
