Circle K

We have just returned from Nashville, Tennessee where we attended the International Convention.
More than 350 members from around the world went into the Nashville community and did more than 4,000 hours of service.
The New York Circle K members just completed a very successful year under the leadership of Governor Kelly Chan. She along with the District Board set goals at the beginning of their term. They were very successful meeting them. Service hours: 25,000, fundraising: $49,000, membership: 1,100, All 33 active clubs paid dues.
The following awards were won. Distinguished District, Distinguished Governor Kelly Chan of Queens College and St. John's University.

• Distinguished Chairperson Richard Kim, of New Paltz University.
• Distinguished Secretary Sharmila Samwaru, Adelphi University
• Distinguished Lt. Gov. Kristal Gonzalez, Fordham University.
• First place for the Eliminate Project most funds raised overall by a District.
• Adelphi University first place for Eliminate Project fundraising average per member.
• We were also very proud that Governor-Elect Eric G. Paul received the Outstanding Alumni Award. The Circle of Service, the highest award that can be received by an individual, was received by our very own Assistant Administrator Alison Mandel.

Congratulations to all. A special thanks to all the sponsoring Kiwanis clubs and advisors.
