From Your DistrictService Chair

Sup everyone! My name is LJ and I am your

District Service Chair for the Carolinas

District (you guys better know this by now

). This semesters District Large Scale

Service Project will be in Lexington, NC at

Kamp Kiwanis and I invite all of you to

come out and help Circle K end this year of

service with a bang! BANG!!! Im glad to

have served as your DS chair and I hope to

see a lot of familiar and new faces in

Lexington. This is a FREE event and will

occur the weekend of March 22-24. Howmuch does this event cost you ask? Damnit I

just said that it was FREE so why you asking

questions?! Look just come out for the

weekend and well have a good time I

promise. Dont be afraid. At every district

event you always get the chance to make

new friends from other schools and perform

service that really does make a difference in

these kids lives. Cant wait to see you all

again and embrace the spirit of Circle K!

For those of you unfamiliar with the event, DLSSP isa project clubs throughout our district collaborate

on once a semester for an entire weekend. We not

only provide service for the organizations like the

Boys and Girls Homes of Lake Waccamaw, but we

also raise money and hold donations throughout

the academic year that directly benefit

organizations like these. We hope youll make time

and join fellow Circle K-ers from March 22-24. But

first, a message from Jimmy Truell about Kamp

Kiwanis where we will be volunteering.

A Message from Jimmy TruellHello everyone!

The Carolinas District came to Kamp Kiwanis in Lexington, N.C. last March 2012 for the

Spring Project and was VERY helpful. We are excited about hosting it again this year.Feel free to look at pictures of last years District Large Scale Service Project on Carolinas

District CKI Facebook.

Kamp Kiwanis is a 3 week summer camp sponsored by Kiwanis of Lexington. We send

over 200 underprivileged children to camp in a rustic setting located in Lexington. The

children are selected by Davidson County Department of Social Services. Children learn

swimming, canoeing, crafts, hygiene, and other health matters. It has been in service

since 1929. It is on a 25 acre tract which is maintained by volunteers like you and

members of Kiwanis. We were grateful for Circle Ks help last year and look forward to it

again this year.

We provide all meals and materials needed for work. We have cabins to sleep in and a

nice bath house and a big dining hall. I promise a great weekend!

Thanks for all you do.

Well first theres service. Second,

you get to make friends from other

schools, cool Kiwanians, and the

awesome District Board! You need a

third reason? All right then. You also

get to chill and participate in fun

group activities, outdoor games,

and bond over card games and

Circle K stories. You want a fourthreason dont you? (okay I already

gave you three but whatever) The

fourth reason to come is because of

the food that is being provided by

Kamp Kiwanis and I can guarantee

its better than what youre served

in college (well I guess that depends

on where you go). You probably

need a fifth reason. Well why not just

come out and help support a great

cause? I mean why not right? Okay

how about this: you come out, you

bring no school work for the weekend

(unless you really want to) and you

get to enjoy the great outdoors.

Something tells me youre greedy

and want another reason. Thatsokay I have plenty. How about you

get to experience Circle K at the

district level and you get to learn

about the various leadership

opportunities that Circle K has. You

can even come to learn more about

the service we do and rack up

service hours for next year. There!

Why come to DLSSP?

Ill tell you why just watch

This Is How We Service

DLSSP is a great place to get to

know other members from your

own club and clubs from otherschools by completing small

projects and having a little bit of

fun during down time. Being able

to work with other members of

Circle K from different schools

really allowed me to see what a

difference we can make in our

communities, even though last

year I washed the windows of

residence halls. And when all the

work was done, I got to have funwith the children at The Boys &

Girls Homes of Lake Waccamaw by

playing volleyball and soccer. I

encourage all people to go because

its a great experience to get to

know people and see the effects of

what we do first hand.

The fall DLSSP was truly a different kind of service experience for me. Seeing the appreciativefaces of the children that lived there told me that I made the right choice in volunteering to

offer a weekend of service. Hopefully I will go back one day. The Boys & Girls Homes of North

Carolina surely offers a unique service experience for everyone. The work may seem tough at

times, but doing this hard work makes people see how they may have it easy in life and openstheir eyes to the much larger world. It truly is a rewarding experience.

For the past several years Ive worked with the Carolinas Circle K on DLSSP at the Boys & Girls

Homes of North Carolina. You guys have been simply put amazing! All the great things youhave done for BGH to help make a difference to hurting children. Your service means so much

to the Homes and the children served. Andyou guys seem to have so much fun working so

hard! I loved being a part of it. Your energy and enthusiasm was incredible. Thanks Carolinas

CK for making a difference.
