LETTER FROM THE ADMINISTRATION GREETINGS! As your Financial Administrator, I am mainly in charge of maintaining the budget. I also help the board in any way that I can.

This is actually my 8th year in the K-Family and I love being a part of such a great organization.

This year has been my first year serving as an administrator on the district board. I have been so impressed with not only what is being done on the district level, but on the club level as well. All MELISSA YANDELL of the clubs are doing great things in their communities which is Assistant District Administrator such a wonderful thing.

I love being a member of the CKI group because of how much fun we have together. That is why I am really looking forward to this year’s DCON. I am MAD about service and I can’t wait to see you all there! Everyone needs to be sure they have all of the DCON forms emailed to me by February 1, 2014. Encourage your whole club to attend so you all can experience the fun of a district convention.

MISSION Circle K International develops college and university students into a global network of responsible citizens and leaders with lifelong commitment to service.

THELATEST FROM THE

BOARD

HELLO ALL! Hello fellow CKI'ers, I currently serve as your MO-AR Editor and LOVE what I get to do for the district. Playing with social media, editing the website, and putting together the newsletter are some of the responsibilities I hold. I have served on the board for 2 years and each year, it has gotten better and better. With our wonderful team, I already see this year starting out with a BANG!

MAD SPOTLIGHT WHO? US! MOARK CIRCLE K AT FALL SERVICE MADNESS

HOW THEY SERVE CKIers across the state of Missouri and Arkansas joined together to help out the community of Harrison, AR. Together, the MOAR District accomplished hundreds of hours of service in ONE weekend! Together, their dedication and service not only provided a re-graveled greenhouse and humane society, a fresh coat of paint on their playground, but also pending hours bagging groceries to donate, organizing donated clothing, and pulling weeds at the library. These Circle Kers have really let their true passion for service show.
