International, to foster compassion and

goodwill toward others through service and

leadership, to develop my abilities and the

abilities of all people, and to dedicate myself

District Convention The 52nd Annual District Convention will be held in Albany, New York and will celebrate a year of successes while preparing for the next year ahead. This is a great opportunity to meet new and old members of Circle K from around the district and learn more about the club! More details on the back!

Want to stay involved with your local K family?? A great way to do so is to reach out to Key Clubbers and Circle K members in the area and offer support. Lots of clubs need chaperones for events like DCON and Leadership Training Conferences.

Chaperones generally only need to be over 21, but each school may have different special rules. Get involved TODAY!

Leadership Training Conference The 62nd Annual Leadership Training Conference will be held in Albany, New York and is an amazing opportunity for Kiwanis members of all ages! More details on the next page!

We are thrilled to announce that our theme this year will be Nycktendo. NYCKI members work hard everyday, serving people around the NY district (and truly, around the world), so now it’s time to play hard too! Join as we celebrate a year of successes, vote in a 2014-2015 District Board, and prepare for the year to come. As an alumni at the event, you would get the opportunity to relive and share your experiences with other CKI members. You would be able to attend workshops, participate in the themed convention activities, reconnect with other CKI alumni, and stay involved with the K-family in general. Be there! #nydcon14
