Oct. 1 marks the start of new Kiwanis year and also a time of new beginnings and renewal of established commitments for your Kiwanis club. We ask that you continue your commitment to your Circle K sponsorship by meeting with your Circle K club counterparts and find out from them how you can help each other.
If you don't sponsor a Circle K club this would be a good time to start one.
The well-being and strength of the Circle K club is the responsibility of the sponsoring Kiwanis club under which it is chartered. Sponsorship is a continuous endeavor and long-term commitment built on an understanding of shared expectations and mutual goals.
New York District Circle Ker's have been very busy this year. They have been doing community service on the local, district and International level. They are willing to help you with your projects such as cleanups, pancake breakfast, etc.
The Circle K year is from April 1 to March 31. I know if you ask a Kiwanis club they will tell you the great satisfaction get from working with the young adults.
Elsewhere in this issue you will see an article about the requirement of background checks. All Kiwanis advisors to a Circle K club are required to have a background check.
I can be reached with any questions you may have by email johnnyk11@juno.com, phone (732) 350-6170 you will find that I am rather prompt in replying.
As I close this message I want to let you know that we will be having our District Convention at the Albany Hotel March 14-16, 2014. The convention honoree will be Mary Jean Sprague who is the Kiwanis advisor at New Paltz. She is a dedicated Kiwanian.
