Happy Kiwanis New Year NYCKI! Our service year runs from April 1st to March 31st but the Kiwanis year runs from October 1st to September 30th. Be sure to congratulate and thank your outgoing Kiwanis club officers for all of their hard work throughout the past year. Simultaneously, congratulate the incoming officers for a great year ahead and begin building a strong relationship with them if you haven’t already! On another note, DLSSP was a huge success, New York Speaking is coming up and trick-or-treat season is here. This newsletter is filled with more information on all these topics! This month, I would also like to highlight a few clubs who have begun their club’s focus for Care to Be Aware. Remember that if you see someone on campus that looks like they’re busy, that may not be the case. They may need a friend or better yet, you as an everyday hero.

October is Trick-or-Treat season!

You are never too old to go trick-or-treating. When going out to trick-or-treat, there are so many options to consider. You can either trick-or-treat for UNICEF/The Eliminate Project by ordering the boxes here: http://store.kiwanis.org/product/2727 or for Kamp Kiwanis by e-mailing Maureen Neuringer at mneuringer@aol.com for more info! Of course, you don’t have to limit trick-or-treating to collecting money. You can ask for cans of food to donate to your local food pantry, or simply for candy! Get a group of members together (go with K-Kids!), dress up, and have some fun this Halloween!
The following clubs begun their focus for Care to Be Aware with the start of the new academic year: • UBuffalo is going to the food bank every 1st weekend of the month • Cornell is doing activities at a nearby nursing home that is lacking volunteers • Columbia is coordinating with Lit! to organize events • Fordham is focusing on innercity youth and beautification • NYU is focusing on education and children • RPI is tutoring children at Hope 7 every week • Adelphi is working with Food Not Bombs! every Sunday • Geneseo is going with The Bridge, an afterschool program designed to guide kids in the right direction
