Hello~! Guess who! :) I am Jennifer, your one and only 2011-
2012 Publications Editor! It is my honor to present to you the
very rst newsletter o the new term - you have no idea how
much pressure I had while working on it! I’ve had much experi-
ence with layout and design through journalism, but that was
with a newspaper, not a newsletter... So it’s a bit o a change!
But enough o that... More than ever, I am looking orward
to this new 2011-2012 term! Our board has plenty o things
planned, rom service events to socials and just about every-
thing inbetween. You should DEFINITELY look orward to it!
I’m a bit delirious as I’m typing this blurb since I’ve been lack-
ing sleep in the last ew days, but I’ll be surely KO’ing ater the
banquet (and any midterms and papers, yikes!).
On a nal note, I hope you all enjoy this wonderul newslet-
ter. It will surely improve in the uture! Be sure to come out to
Public Relations committee meetings with me and SirivalliChamarti to take part! Thank you and ENJOY~! :D

Shantytown is a project where we
worked with Habitat for Human-
ity by building cardboard houses as
a demonstration campaign toattract
more volunteers in addition to spread-
ing awareness about homelessness and
inadequate living conditions.
Circle K members arrived at the
event throughout the day to help build
a demonstration house. The main goal
of the awareness project was to grab
other peoples’ attention so that they
could learn more about Habitat for
Humanity. In particular, we had a lot of
fun at the event because we decided
to make it like a clubhouse where wecould go inside and “lounge”around.
Each Circle K Member contributed to
a different part of the house (i.e. the
garage, the kitchen, the car, the televi-
sion, the bed, etc); we were like a team
of non-prot contractors, carpenters,
and architectures. This year, we made a
new video clip of our house, and I was
the person who gave the tour.
Overall, the event was very enjoyable
and I felt like a child who was building a
clubhouse (like in Disney Channel’s “Out
of theBox”). The Habitat for Humanity
members appreciated our creativity andthey liked that we could play inside out
house. The event helped me learn more
about Habitat for Humanity and home-
lessness. In addition, it opened up a new
“door to service” such that I could easily
become active in this area of social wel-
fare. I’m looking forward to the event
next year, and I hope that more Circle
K’ers can learn more about Habitat for
Humanity.

service
Easter arrived a week early
his year in Culver City. UCLA
ircle K, along with fellow
iwanians from Culver City,
SC, and Jefferson High School,
overed Veterans Memorial
ark with thousands of candy-
lled Easter eggs to the delight
f dozens of kids. What had
aken us hours to prepare took
he children minutes to sweep
p, but it was worth it seeing the
miles on their faces and the joy
f their parents. Despite the 90+
egree weather, UCLA Circle K
aintained its enthusiasm and
nergy while working the game
ooths and interacting with all
ttendees, but special kudos
oes out to Diane Santos, who,
s the friendliest Easter Bunny,
took countless pictures withexcited children.
As someone new to Circle K
(but certainly not to service), I
loved this Easter Egg Hunt as my
rst Kiwanis event. It reminded
me of why I, and indeed others,
need to live a life of service:
the smallest deed can have the
greatest impact not only for
the recipient, but also for the
volunteer. It was so gratifyingjust to witness the boundless
curiosity and happiness of the
kids – some just a few months
old – working their way through
the egg patches. Having fun
and meeting the lovely people
of UCLA Circle K were added
bonuses to what I hope will only
be the beginning of more kickin’
it with the Kiwanis and of course,
a lifetime of service.
Sirivalli Chamarti, Second-YearPublicity Chair
Over 10,000 prospective students,
arents, vendors and student groups at-ended Bruin Day on April 9. Of course,
CLA Circle K was lucky to be selected to
ttend the event to be able to recruit new
ember and spread the word of service!
For the Circle K members at the booth,
was very exciting to meet new mem-
ers and even teach these future Bruins
couple of cheers. We also encouraged
them to not only attend UCLA but con-
tinue in their endeavors to change the
world by remaining active in the Kiwanis
family. We were caught in a moment of
our youth, as only a couple of years ago,
many of us had gone through the same
process as the seniors. “Why choose UCLA
for college?”, “What is Circle K?”,”How is
it different from Key club?”,”What kind of
service do you do?” were all very com-
mon questions, expectedly, of the students
had and they were very excited to know
what college was like at UCLA. The entire
Dickson court was packed to the maximum
extend and vendors had delicious food
the scent of which we could detect from
across the plaza. Many students and par-
ents stopped by our table and one lucky
prospective Bruin even went home with a
bag full of candy.
Bruin Day was a wonderful event, and
I’m really excited for the year ahead. The
energy feeding into this school and this
organization towards spreading the word
of service is just incredible; the future
most denitely looks bright.

Cah-feh. Why is it pro-nounced that way? Why not
cayfe? Anyways... UCLA
Circle K showed up to our own little picnic near Janss Steps.
t began pretty normally. People ghting over food (lumpia,
PB&strawberry sandwiches, fresh lemonade, etc.) laughing over
othing, and just… enjoying each other’s company. But then, the
most exciting and tense section of every café turkey came up…
he auction. This time, in the spirit of Easter we auctioned off
aster Baskets (made by your board!) Some items in the baskets
were glowing swords, money, people (the basket maker’s were
sold” to the buyers for a certain amount of time,) and a $30
oda bottle. Then…a surprise! An Easter Egg hunt! The eggswere hidden pretty well, but this was as the sun was setting, so
by the time we began the hunt it was dark. People had to scour-
ng the hills and every single inch within a couple hundred meter
adius other then the 6th step (if you don’t know what that is,
ask someone!) We found some interesting things…but all in all,
aster Egg hunt, success! Cafe Turkey? Success!

On April 22 and April 23, the UCLA
Circle K-ers decided to celebrate the
wonderful Earth with a environmental
weekend celebration. Seeing that April
22nd is Earth Day, UCLA Circle K partici-
pated in environmentally friendly service
vents and socials.
Starting the weekend off with a beach
leanup, a group of nine students came
ut to Santa Monica Beach to pick up
rash. The beach can be a sunny and
riendly place but it sure needed some
pring cleaning. The Circle K-ers found
arious pieces of trash such as cigarette
butts, soda bottles, and even clumps of
ar. Afterwards, the Circle K-ers took a
rip back to UCLA to prepare themselves
or the movie, Wall-E.
Keeping with the theme and want-
ng to take a break from service, Circle
K decided to watch Wall-E to learn of
their effects on the environment. It
was relaxing and a good way foreveryone to recharge themselves.
Feeling extra environmental from
Wall-E, the Circle K-ers continued
on with their environmental week-
end by helping out with campus
recycling.
The Circle K-ers took the night in their
own hands by sorting out recyclables
from the trash around campus. Luckily,
they did not run into any squirrels hidden
in trash cans. It was a fun night as they
explored the campus while helping apart in the campus and the environment’s
well-being. It helped end Earth Day
but there was still one more event the
next day to nish off the Environmental
weekend.
On Saturday, April 23rd, a bunch of
Circle K-ers woke up early in the morn-
ing to help out Tree Musketeers. The
event called for caring for new trees
that were just planted and the Circle
K-ers helped ensure that these young
trees will stay alive for the future. This
required that the members help prune
and provide mulch for the trees.The Tree
Musketeers event ended the environ-
mental weekend. Feeling refreshed, the
members felt satised for their weekend
of helping the environment.

fellowshipOn April 5th the Ackerman Grand
Ballroom transformed from an empty salon
to a functioning roller-skating rink.Roll-AIDS is an annual fundraising event that supports One Heart Source,
n organization helping kids with HIV/AIDs in Tanzania. Participants have
he opportunity to donate and raise awareness by roller-skating around the
ballroom, accompanied by the dance oor atmosphere created by a live DJ.
UCLA Circle K was one group of many that attended. Admittedly, we
were not the most elegant skaters on the oor; we spent most of the time
olding on to each other for dear life as we trembled slowly with the ow
f other, more seasoned skaters. This didn’t hurt our spirits, however, because
he tables that formed the perimeter of the rink were layered with candy!
Our group had many laughs throughout the night as more and more
people populated the rink. I am proud to say that no one in the group fellnce that night except for me; I was still trying to understand the art of
braking.
All in all it was a great event! What truly made the night worthwhile
was seeing the hundreds in attendance showing their support for those
ffected with HIV/AIDS. Roll on down next year to help
UCLA Circle K promote awareness!

During the whole weekend,you are surrounded bypeople who exemplify theprinciples of Circle K: Service,
Leadership, and Fellowship.No one is an exception. Youare constantly forming newfriendships with members
from other schools. Everyoneis so nice and approachable;being social is effortless.
General session and caucusseem like a pain to go to,but when you sit down andgive your attention to theperson who is speaking,you can’t help but admire
them becausethat’s what areal leaderlooks andacts like,standing infront all thesepeople butstill keepingthat condent
swag in theirvoice. And,needless to
say, everyone in Circle K isprimarily united by a lovefor community service, agenuine desire to make theworld around them a betterplace. Honestly, I have not
done a lot of service; I mean,I struggled for Bronze MRPStanding! However, goingto DCON has denitely
motivated me to try harder.If so many people aroundme can balance classes and
can still accumulate hundredsof hours of service, what’smy excuse? It is completelyinspiring how much CircleK-ers do for the community.
Weeks later, I am STILLon a post-DCON high.The general sessions, thecaucuses, the workshops,the entertainment, the spiritcompetitions… Moneyain’t a thing when it comesto DCON, because theknowledge you obtain, thefriendships you make, andthe memories you create areabsolutely priceless.

kiwanis family
“The main thing is to keep the
main thing… the main thing.” This
was the not-seemingly inspirational
uote from the past international
overnor that was retold by Tom
Millham, our current Kiwanis District
Governor at the Kiwanis Governor
Visit. Every year, each Kiwanis
ivision host a Kiwanis Governor
Visit, a dinner that features the
District Governor, a dinner, andther presentations.
Grace Ann Cecilio, Brian Wong,
uke Liao, Connie Lam, and I
ad the opportunity to meet Tom
Millham, himself, along with other
Kiwanians in our district. We were
ortunate enough to have Donna
Alvarez of Culver City Kiwanis
ponsor all of us to go, and we
pent time talking to her and others
ver a delicious meal of salmon,beef, and salad. Donna even
presented the Hope for America
Award to both Grace and Brian for
their commitment and hard work
with the Culver City Kiwanians over
the last four years. Good job guys!
We helped Tom sell pins and
rafe prizes – I won a wine glass
(nothing ironic here). Even with
the chit chat and fun festivities,
the part of the event that stood
out the most was Tom Millham’s
speech to our whole division. He
emphasized membership retention,
recruitment and club growth. Heencouraged us to keep recruiting
members because he knows that
each member has the potential to
make an impact in our community.
He asked us to keep thinking of
new service ideas and to keep
doing service because although
Kiwanians and even us, Circle Kers,
enjoy each other’s company, we
sometimes forget why we are in the
club – to serve the children of the
world – live to serve, love to serve.And that’s the main thing.
Brian Kan, Second-YearKiwanis Family Chair
On April 2, members of the Kiwanis
rganization joined together and
id service for a day. Our members
nd members of other local Kiwanis
rganizations, including the Kiwaniansnd Key Clubbers, gathered at the LA
ood Bank and prepared food for the
ess fortunate.
Before registration, the group went
n quick tour around the food bank
acilities. It was interesting to see how
he food was arranged and stored. After
egistration, we watched a video about
he LA Food Bank’s motives and effects.
Kiwanis One Day participants were then
ivided into groups and each group
had different tasks, which consisted of
separating expired food from the non-
expired food, breaking down boxes,
sorting preservatives, and packing food
into boxes.
I was assigned the task to separate
and prepare boxes, and distribute them
to the food packers. Separating boxeswas more difcult than I thought, since
the boxes were packed tightly together.
I gave that task to one of my fellow
members and took care of distributing
boxes. Because distribution was slow, I
helped pack food, collected small boxes,
and gave them to the members who
were breaking them down. I knew those
members were glad that I gave them
something to do.
Throughout the day, we interacted with
the Kiwanians and some Key Clubbers.
We were even invited by the Key Clubbers
to eat lunch with them at their high school.
We were enthusiastic, because of the
free pizza and the opportunity to hang
out with them. However some members,
including myself, were unable to attendand headed back to campus.
Kiwanis One Day was a fun and
educational service event. We learned
how long food remain good after the
expiration date and how its like to be a
food bank worker. As a reward of our
hard day’s work, we received a nifty pen
that looked like a spoon. We happily
showed off our “spoons” while taking
pictures and celebrated a job well done.

TurKey’s Take:Banquet Season
You Know You’re a Bruin When...
- The whole “Ohhh, ch-
ingchong linglong tingtong”
doesn’t surprise you or oend
you anymore- You bust out the 8-clap any
time, all the time!
- You end up with millions o f
ers at the bottom o BruinWalk
- You stalk campus hoping ora celebrity or lming encounter.
- You’d rather get pregnant tha
use a Trojan
- You haven’t worn red since
the summer beore college.
- You groan when you have to
walk rom super north campus
super south campus.

You know what fries my wings? End of
he year banquets! I’m excited about
UCLA Circle K’s banquet but man oh
man, that’s just one of many banquets
want to go to. There’s UCSD’s, Long
Beach’s, and other school’s banquetswant to stuff myself full at. And
hey’re also pricey. Fifteen to twenty
dollars to attend each banquet?
Goodness, there might as well be a
district fundraising initiative just for
hem. So what is an amazing hybrid
creature going to do to alleviate this
banquet dilema? Get surgery and
split myself into two. Just kidding. I’m
going to save. I’m going into lockdown
mode after UCLA Circle K’s banquet
until summer starts. No eating caviar
everyday. No spending money on
Louis Vuitton clothing. Time to just stay
put and save as much as I can if i
want to attend those fabulous ban-
quets.
f you’re having the same issue but
can’t seem to save, here’s my two
urkey cents: only attend the banquets
you can really go to! We’re all busy,
poor college students, and as muchas we want to support other schools,
we’re not superheroes! Well, not un-
ess you’re Patrick Huie.
So there’s my little rant for the day.
Until my next rant, I shall be seeing
you all at other school’s banquets!
Love,
Turkey
TurKey’s Take is a monthly edito-
rial column focusing on different
aspects of CKI. Look forward to
next month’s rant from TurKey!
Sitting off the no
east corner of Pi
and Westwood,
shell of a restaurant doesn’t look like much; a
quite frankly, the interior doesn’t look too ap-pealing either. With a U-shaped counter and
grill in the middle, Apple Pan sticks to its roots
and still feels from the 1940’s. However, afte
waiting in line and seating yourself, Apple Pa
greets you with fast service from behind the c
ter and instantly serves up the hottest fries. Se
ously, be careful. Then before your third fry, t
waiter has already put in your order and serv
up your choice of either a Hickory Burger or
Steak Burger. There are some more options l
a few deli choices and a few vegetarian frien
options. After your burger and fries, nish it o
with their famous apple pie a la mode or a s
of pecan pie. You have not experienced UCL
until you’ve come to Apple Pan.
Tip: Get your order to go, the fries is about th
times the size of the counter order of fries!

- You walk to campus and see
gorgeous Royce and Powell (a
ugly Bunche)
- You live and swear by Coach
John Wooden’s wise words
- Getting anything less than an
A is actually okay
