Hello U.C. Davis!

For those of you who don’t know me, my name is Luke Tanaka, the Capital Division Lieutenant

Governor for the 2013-2014 term, and I can’t wait to meet you! In the upcoming year I will be your

representative on the District Board responsible for providing input on Capital’s behalf. Working with

the Divisional Secretary, Stephanny Orozco, I will be creating a mailing list that you can voluntarily

sign up for containing updates from each of the District Board meeting. I hope that those of you

who are interested will take advantage of this mailing list and will also provide suggestions, so I may

better represent you on issues that affect the Capital Division. Keep an eye out for the signup for

the mailing list on our new divisional website! Thanks to Kevin Arthur, the Divisional Historian and

Tech Chair, the website is now up and in the process of being further developed. Please check it

out at www.CapitalCircleK.org! We will be working to ensure CapitalCircleK.org has an updated

Divisional Master Calendar to keep everyone current on club and divisional events, a photo

repository, and a place to highlight our events and accomplishments. Keep an eye out for a

Capital CKI Twitter account in the next few weeks as well!

Are you sad that the school year is coming to a close? Do you want to get to know your division

better or see your friends from Capital over summer?! Come on out to the Capital summer

Divisional Council Meetings! The June DCM will be the 15th-16th at Lake Tahoe where we will be

hanging out on the beach, doing some service, and camping overnight! The July DCM will be at

Emigrant Gap where we will be cliff jumping and camping! Summer DCMs provide an excellent

opportunity to get to know your fellow Circle Kers over the late night smores, ghost stories, and

free-falling into shockingly cold, blue water. The summer DCMs were one of my favorite

events that I ever attended with CKI, so everyone who can attend should! I can’t wait

to see you all over the summer!

Until we meet (again),

Luke Tanaka

I SEE DAVIS!

UC DAVIS!

Greetings everyone, my name is Sean Dylan Nguyen and I am your 2013-2014 CNH Circle K

District Governor from Cal State Long Beach of Metro Division! I just wanted to drop in to say hello

to you all and that I recently visited your campus for Spring Training Conference North and it’s

such a nice campus, I’ll definitely try to visit you guys again this upcoming year, In fact I’d like to

visit Capital Division as a whole!

I certainly hope that you are all ready for another amazing year of service, leadership, and

fellowship, because I know that I am! After seeing how you all gave it your all representing your

club this past year at Fall Training Conference and District Convention, I certainly hope to see the

same amount of spirit and enthusiasm in this upcoming year as well ( let’s be honest, I know you

will exceed that amount by a whole heck of a lot).

Thank you everyone and I hope to see you all very soon!

Sincerely,

Sean D. Nguyen

Dear UCD CKI,

When I think of Circle K International, I think of more than just simply another organization

on campus. I think of a family and a community of individuals seeking to better mankind. But, I also

think of an opportunity. Circle K International is a pathway for substantial change in the world.

Whether it is through a service event to help the community or through leadership and support to

help students see their own strengths and potential….Circle K International is a medium for change. I

believe this organization is a way to make a positive impact on the world, one event, one community,

one individual at a time.

You could ask any member, “Why do you stay in this organization?” and chances are they will

most likely answer along the lines of “For the people.” Circle K International is a family. Through

Circle K, I have made friendships that I know will last a lifetime. Something I love about this

organization is that people in this organization genuinely care about others, and they care about

making positive impact on the lives of others. I think one of the best things about this organization is

that you can personally see the effect this organization has on the world. Through Circle K, I have

had opportunities to travel all over, meet all kinds of members, and even impact the lives of people

along the way! I implore you; take a few steps into the world of Circle K with me. See for yourself

what this organization can do for you…see for yourself what you could do for the world. I am Nancy

Bui, President of Circle K international at the University of California, Davis, and I look forward to

our journey together!

2013-2014 District Service Initiative

Many people, children and adults alike, find it hard to speak out about their

problems, that may involve bullying in school, the workplace, and the internet.

Bullies often do not realize how much of an impact they make on their lives of

their victims and are often the target of other bullies themselves. The 2013-2014

District Service Initiative “Speak Out: Anti-bullying” aims to educate and train

the community on how to identify and stop bullying. The goal is to bring

awareness to their very important social issue and put a stop to the cycle of

abuse. Moreover, with Speak Out! As our DSI it allows CKI members to educate

themselves on this issue and promote advocacy against bullying.

Source:CNH website

How you can help!

Some Ideas are ( but is not limited to)

Assist walk and events hosted by anti-bullying organizations

o October is Bullying Prevention Awareness Month

Host an anti-bullying/self defense workshop at a local

elementary, middle, or high school

o Sean’s(Jack) anti bullying workshop for UCD is

Wednesday, May 15th 2013

o Wen’s sexual harassment workshop is Monday, May

13th, 2013

Mission: To develop local projects, that will reduce the

number of children in our district who are killed or

injured by trauma.

We work closely with partner hospitals( in Oakland,

San Diego, Loma Linda, Madera, Honolulu, and Reno)

to provide funding to train pediatric doctors, nurses

and first responders, to purchase much needed

medical equipment and to create new community

outreach program s while expanding current ones.

Kiwanis International and UNICEF have teamed up to

eliminate maternal and neonatal tetanus. Every year

this disease takes the lives of almost 60,000 babies

and a significant number of women. Tiny newborns

who get tetanus suffer from repeated, painful

convulsions, and an extreme sensitivity to light and

touch.

With your donations vaccines, syringes, safe storage,

transportation, thousands of skilled staff and more

that help in the fight against maternal and neonatal

tetanus.

Autism is a neural development disorder that causes impaired social interaction,

communication, and behavior. As a result, many who are uninformed about autism, treat those who are autistic with

prejudice and fear. Austism is not a sickness or a disease and it can not be spread to other people. Autism speaks seeks

to raise awareness and educate people regarding the characteristics of autism, as well as fund research into

understanding and curing autism.

With your donations Autism Speaks

o Research into the causes, prevention, treatments, and a cure for autism

o Increasing awareness of autism spectrum disorders

o Advocating for the needs of individuals with autism and their families

What you can do: Raise awareness and educate others about autism to reduce the prejudices and biased perceptions

Run for your Lives On May 11, 2013 CKI teamed up with Sac State, UOP, and a member

from UCLA and participated in the Run For Your Lives run. Run For Your Lives

is a one-of-a-kind 5k obstacle course where not only does the runner have to

complete the race, they also have to go through numerous obstacles, such as

blood pits, smoke house, and electric fences, while outrunning hordes of

zombies. Many attempt to make it through the race as a human, but only a few

are able to make it to the Safe Zone unaffected. This race not only tests your

speed and endurance, but also your strength and wit as you battle your way to

the Safe zone (the finish line).

For more information visit kennedykrieger.org

Meeting up at 5am in the U-Mall parking lot,

Andrew Tom and Annie Yu, and Annie Ngyuen were there

with Zombie survival packs in hand, consisting of nutella

sandwiches, candy, and water to help fuel us til 2pm. With

GPS in hand, our caravans of not quite human, but not quite

undead, sleep deprived volunteers started their hour long

journey to the zombie run.

As we got to the top of a hill that led us to the

volunteer registration, we saw a giant group of zombies at

the bottom. Forgetting how tired we are, we were suddenly

filled with energy that lasted us through the day. We helped

out at t-shirt, beverage, and medal distribution at the end

of the race, as well as helped navigate confused zombies,

racers, and spectators.

Run For Your Lives race is an official partner with Kennedy

Krieger Foundation. The main focus of Kennedy Krieger is on the

problems and injuries that affect a child’s developing brain. They

have worked with various researchers, physicians, therapists, and

educators to help children with brain injuries make full or almost full

recovery.

The workshops at DCON were really great

and enlightening, but the best one was

the one called SPIRIT! because it was

really entertaining. The hosts

incorporated the concept of a super

saiyan from Dragon Ball Z into it. It was

really clever as it made the workshop

exciting and hilarious.

During the awards ceremony, we won so

many awards and it made me feel like

we were a club to be revered. I never felt

prouder to be a CKI member than at that

moment.

On the second day of DCON there was a

talent show and there were many dance

groups and singing acts, which was just

too awesome. I liked the Sriracha Boys

the most though because their dance was

the most fun to watch.

Although the cheer, the workshops, the

talent show, and the awards were

fantastic my favorite part of DCON was

the dance. I got to dance the night away

with all the new friends I just made.

I’ve been to KIWIN’S DCON when I was in high

school and had a lot of fun so I thought Circle

K’s DCON would be the same as well. Now when I

compare the two, one day of CKI’s DCON was

filled with more spirit, more excitement, and

just way more of everything than three days of

KIWIN’S DCON. It was totally worth going the

weekend before my finals. The experiences I had

there are too great for me to fathom.

At the beginning of DCON we had to go into the

hotel’s ballroom. Stepping inte that place, I was

amazed at how filled it was with other CKI’ers

all decked out in their club’s theme attire ,

unique cheers and interesting props. It

overwhelmed me and I thought to myself, “Wow,

this is nothing like high school.” I loved how

our club had a signature cheer and what was

even better was that I knew how to do it. ( I

joined CKI two weeks before I went to DCON so I

wasn’t too familiar with many of our cheers).

My last day at DCON was a sad one because I

didn’t want to leave, but before we left we took

a group picture. By looking at the expression of

our faces in that picture, anyone would know

we had the best time ever. I never want to forget

my experience at DCON because it was just too

incredible.

I would totally go to DCON every year until I

graduate. My experience there was one to

remember, from the informative workshops and

prestigious awards to the exciting talent acts

and the awesome dance. DCON made me feel

proud to be a part of something bigger than

myself, proud to be a part of CKI.

Spring Fling By Agnes Chan

Saturday April, 27th 2013 marked a day where members of Circle K

International, Alpha Phi omega, Lambda Omicron Xi, and Rotaract

gathered together to learn more about each other. All four

organizations focus on making a positive contribution in the

community through service.

How it began: A few members from each organization thought it

would be nice to create an event where everyone from all four

organizations could come together and learn more about one

another. We all took the initiative to meet up and plan this event that

would not only allow members from each group learn more about

others who have the same passion and focus they have for

community service, but work together on a day of friendly

competition.

After all the games were completed, the judges calculated

all the points to see who the winning team was. After the

winning team was selected all the members of that team

would participate in a ninja face off to decide who the top

three overall winners were were.

Our very own Chris Cheng won second place!

Overall the original goal of having an event where all the

organizations could come out and meet everyone was

achieved. Out of the eighty six people who attended

twenty five were from Circle K International.

The Outcome. It was a day of fun and mingling,

filled with ice breakers, capture the flag, trivia,

and relay races.

Since our goal was to connect with others

outside of our own organization attendees were

sorted into 8 groups that had an even number

of people from each organization in each

group.

After the icebreakers, we played capture the

flag, and teams merged together forming 4

bigger teams. Shout out to Kyle Prado for being

able to acquire the flags in the second round,

wining it for his team.

Trivia was next with questions about each

organization. Trivia was then followed by relay

races.

March’s Member of the Month: Tony Li

CERF-ing like nobody’s business, service all day and night and always looking out for

others,. Even though Tony has only been in Circle K for a short period time he has

already made such an impact on the club. Congratulations on winning March MOM

Tony, UCD CKI can’t wait to see what you will do next.

Favorites

Food: FRUITS!

Service Project: I enjoy all types of service projects because I believe its good to be able to

make a difference in the community and allow it to develop whether it is improving the

environment , promoting a cause, or reading to elementary school kids. However I enjoy the

one where I am kept busy at all time and I am able to communicate with others.

Favorite Hangout:

Anywhere there is CKI. I am able to meet amazing people, learn more about CKI, and be

inspired by passionate members while improving myself through service.

Music: EDM, alternative, pop, orchestra/instrumentals, anything that doesn’t have explicit

content.

If you could be anything, what would you be?

A dedicated CKI member. They are such motivated and hardworking

people who can do anything they put their minds to, such as coordinating

large events, leading people while inspiring them. Furthermore, their actions

lead to positive results in the community.

What’s one thing you can’t live without?

CKI because my friends have become like a family to me.

Favorites:

Movie: Spirited Away

Service: PE Program. I had the opportunity to chair this event at the beginning of this

year. Whenever I went, I would see all the children running around having a fun time.

Just seeing the smiles on their faces makes me happy. After a while, some of the children

would recognize me and start clinging to me.

Hangout: I don’t really care where I hang out as long as I am with good company. I

believe that most boring places can be exciting with the right people, and the most

exciting places can be quite uninteresting if you don’t have anyone to share the

moment with. So as long as I am with my friends, any place can be my favorite place to

hang out.

If you could be anything, what would you want to be?

I like being myself but if I were to choose, I guess I would be a husky. Cause they

are oh so pretty and it would be interesting to live life in a different perspective.

What is one song you can’t get enough of?

something cool, or does something

she likes she gets all happy and

smiley. I definitely hope to do more

with Ashley in the future!

Best memory: Every time we hangout is always a

memorable moment. He has helped me grow as a

person and as a member of Circle K. Seeing his passion

for this club has inspired me to become more active

and even run for Elected Board! He will always be my

big and I’m terribly sad that he is graduating this year,

but I know that the friendship we have developed will

remain strong.
