is to serve our community and

help those who cannot help them-

selves. This is always our number

one priority in Circle K.

Circle K International uniquely oers many opportunities

to promote growth and development as a uture leader

through workshops, training events, and leadership posi-

tions ranging rom an appointed club ocer to the Interna-

tional President.

The organization also ocuses on developing strong relationships between

members. Since there is such a strong ocus on bonding, members become

riends or lie. Our passion or service unites us!

WhatisCircleKInte

rnational?

Circle K is the largest collegiate community service, leadership development, and

riendship organization in the world. Circle K clubs are organized and sponsored bya Kiwanis club on a college or university campus. It is a sel-governing organiza-

tion and elects its own ocers, conducts its own meetings, and determines

its own service activities. This high degree o autonomy allows or a

unique service experience driven entirely by the members or the

members.

As a new addition to this growing collegiate service

organization, youll quickly learn that this clubis ocused on ar more than just community

service. Not only will you have many op-

portunities to serve your community

and raise money or charity, but

you will also develop many

lasting riendships and

be oered many

opportunitiesor personal

growth.

WELCOME TO CIRCLE K!(we promise we wont bite... as long as you read this guide!)

WHY UCLA Circle Kis Awesome

UCLA CKI oers you the chance to make

a dierence in someones lie. It isnt justthe service, ellowship, or leadership that

makes this club as special as it is.

We are a diverse group who share a passion

or service. I probably wouldnt have metso many dierent, down-to-earth people

anywhere else on campus.

It fts into MY schedule. I have the reedom togo to the events I want, when I want to. There

are no minimum requirements to

be a member.

We stay determined as a service club. Whilewe do have socials and such, we never deviate

rom our true purpose o doing service!

The bonds in this club are the closest Ive ever

seen, even compared to other schools CKI

clubs. We orm some o the best tried and true

riendships possible.

We put our hearts and souls into everything

we do, and sometimes, we STILL believe its

not good enough! BUT, ater all those bullet-

dodging moments and restless nights, we fnd

out that our hearts have touched other hearts,

and we realize everything was all worthwhile.

Our vast array o interests and personalities is

as diverse as the ways we help the community.Here, people can fnd their niche with dancers,

photographers, singers, oodies, artists, ash-

ionistas or simply others in their majors who

are just as passionate about service as they are

to their pastimes and felds o study.

UCLA CKI will always be there or you, even iyou cant be active with midterms/academics

or having any personal issues.

UCLA CKI is awesome because you can meet

many amazing people and orm bonds, youbecome an integral part onot just

an organization but o a amily.

Circle K is awesome because

people in the club accept you or who you are.

Lets get some input from some of

our board members...

But what does thatmean?

Well, as you may know, UCLA Circle K is just one chapter o many.

Chapters in a certain region make a division, which is led by a Lieu-

tenant Governor, and divisions all together make a district, which is

led by the District Governor.

UCLA CKI is a chapter within the Metro Division, led by Lieutenant

Governor JonJon Junpradub, which is a part o the Cal-Nev-Ha

District. Pretty cool, yeah? Check out these other schools in our divi-

sion!
