What is Circle K International?<br />
Circle K International: the largest collegiate community service organization in<br />
the world, committed to its three tenets of fellowship, leadership, and, of<br />
course, service.<br />
Circle K offers its members the opportunity to serve their communities and<br />
develop valuable leadership skills all while meeting other students at their<br />
own schools and even across the world. Whether you're passionate about<br />
supporting communities in need, fundraising to support the well-being of<br />
children around the globe, or working to preserve the world we live in, Circle K<br />
has something for you.<br />
But what makes Circle K special? What makes it something you should want<br />
to experience? For all of the incredible things this organization has to offer, I<br />
think there's one I can call my favorite: the chance to become a better you.<br />
Circle K isn't just a club that gives you the opportunity to attend service<br />
projects or serve in a leadership position – it's a place where you can do the<br />
things you love with people you love, all while learning and growing from<br />
every single one of those experiences.<br />
If you had stopped me as a first-year student and asked me where I'd be by<br />
the end of my college career, I never would have answered that I'd be where I<br />
am today. But by some sort of luck, I stumbled across UC Irvine Circle K, and I<br />
was inspired to become a part of something bigger than myself in the hopes<br />
of doing more than I ever had before. This organization gave me that chance<br />
and I am where I am today because of it. I'm confident that Circle K<br />
International can provide you so many opportunities in service, leadership,<br />
and fellowship – all that's left is your desire to do something with them.
What is the District Service<br />
Initiative (DSI)?<br />
Each year, the Cal-Nev-Ha District of Circle K adopts<br />
and works toward a new District Service Initiative (DSI).<br />
Once proposed by the District Service Committee and<br />
approved by the CNH District Board, this new service<br />
initiative provides a focus for the service that we do.<br />
During the term, members from throughout the district<br />
collaborate to achieve and bring the goals of this new<br />
cause to life. In years past, our DSIs have ranged from<br />
Anti-Bullying to Leap Towards Literacy, and over the<br />
last term we served to create Hope for the Homeless.<br />
Now, we are proud to announce the District Service<br />
Initiative for the <strong>2016</strong>-<strong>2017</strong> term: Serve to Conserve -<br />
Planet Conservation. Therefore, this year CNH will focus<br />
its efforts on the environment and provide it with the<br />
love and nurturing it deserves. There are many ways to<br />
contribute to this year's DSI: from chairing service<br />
projects to planning tabletop service projects related to<br />
the DSI, you can make a difference regardless of how<br />
you do it. By working together, the district can make<br />
improvements to the environment and protecting the<br />
biosphere.<br />
What is the District Fundraising Initiative (DFI)?<br />
Every year the California Nevada Hawaii District choose three causes to<br />
endorse and these are known as our District Fundraising Initiatives (DFI). This<br />
year our three DFI include the Kiwanis Family House, Pediatric Trauma Program,<br />
and UNICEF. Located in Sacramento, the Kiwanis Family House (KFH) provides<br />
temporary housing and support to families of those being treated at the<br />
University of California, Davis Medical Center. The families who stay at the KFH<br />
live at least 35 miles from Sacramento and some even come from other states<br />
and countries. Along with bedroom and bath, the KFH offers kitchens, dining,<br />
laundry and children's game room. In the event of an emergency, the KFH<br />
understands that families do not have time to pack therefore everything is fully<br />
stocked - clothes, food and other necessities. Other services include free 24<br />
hour bus shuttle to the hospital as well as a 24 hour staff to assist the families.<br />
Due to the services available at the KFH, families are able to stay close together<br />
and find comfort during times of distress.

U l t i m a t e D o d g e b a l l<br />
The UCI CKI ultimate dodge ball tournament<br />
was a social event hosted by spirit/social chairs,<br />
Roy Golingan and Sabrina Fang on May 21, at<br />
Aldrich Park, where everyone can come out in<br />
the afternoon to relieve stress from midterm<br />
season of spring quarter through dodge ball,<br />
meeting new people, hanging out, and having fun!<br />
This was not your average game of dodge ball,<br />
but as rounds progressed between winning teams,<br />
there were multiple challenges and obstacles to<br />
make the game even more challenging and<br />
interesting, such as getting hit with the audience<br />
with water guns in the final round while playing<br />
this game. Members were able to sign up to<br />
participate in the dodge ball tournament<br />
beforehand and were eventually split into 8<br />
teams of around 6 people.<br />
E n v i r o n m e n t a l : N a t u r e C e n t e r<br />
Growing up my fondest memories have always been going camping with my family, being in nature and<br />
appreciating it. DLSSP had already come and gone and I had realized that I enjoyed pulling weeds at<br />
that event, so when ENC became available I jumped on it, it was really cool to see all the people that<br />
were enjoying nature while also doing something that helped keep it available to the public. We were<br />
taking out invasive species that otherwise would have destroyed the native plants and animals. I also<br />
got to meet a lot of other members at the project that I otherwise would never gotten a chance to meet,<br />
it's a good past time to get to talk to people while doing something as mundane as pulling weeds.
Spring Family Day<br />
Spring Family Day only happens once a year in the<br />
spring quarter, Unlike other Family Day's it takes<br />
place at the beach, where members get to go swim in<br />
the ocean, play family games, or build sand castles.<br />
Members take this opportunity to bond with their<br />
family members and other families as they team up to<br />
compete against other teams. Games range from tuga-war<br />
to building the best looking mermaid tails.<br />
Kiwanis Clean Up<br />
The Upper Newport Bay Nature Reserve is one of the most beautiful<br />
sights in the OC area. The area inhabits a large variety of animals and<br />
plants. With so much wildlife living in this reserve, the area needs to be<br />
kept clean to prevent any damage. A few local Kiwanians were<br />
accompanied by some of UCI Circle K’s members to do a cleanup of the<br />
large area. This clean up saw large sums of trash collected ranging from<br />
napkins, cups, wrappers, bottles, and other types of human waste.
Relay for Life<br />
Relay for life is the largest fundraiser for the American Cancer Society. This<br />
overnight event sees students and staff from our campus gather to raise funds for<br />
cancer research, to raise awareness for all the different types of cancer in existence<br />
with activities including a male beauty pageant. Clubs gather around Aldrich park<br />
and set up a cancer walk for survivors, caregivers, or anyone else affected by cancer<br />
in any way. When the night comes, luminarias are lit to commemorate those who we<br />
have lost to cancer, survivors of cancer, and to show those that are affected that they<br />
are not alone.
Ronald McDonald Walk<br />
The Ronald McDonald Walk for Kids during spring quarter <strong>2016</strong> was a<br />
service event that involved cheering for every participating walker. Members<br />
woke up at around 6AM in the morning and drove all the way to the Honda<br />
Center at Anaheim for early service. Each volunteer was given pom-pom sticks<br />
and was assigned to a specific location around the track to cheer on the<br />
participating walkers and show off our UCI CKI spirit during the walk! Near<br />
the end of the event, every volunteer gathered near the finish line to<br />
congratulate and cheer on every walker.<br />
UCI Circle K splashed its way into UCI’s Wayzgoose, an event that<br />
celebrates the accomplishments of UCI and showcases its clubs and<br />
organizations. This year, at our booth, we sold pink lemonade in mason<br />
jars to guests passing by to keep them hydrated throughout the eventful<br />
day. In addition, we recruited new members for the Spring quarter while<br />
connecting with Key clubbers by doing our rendition of the “How Do You<br />
Feel” cheer. It was truly a wonderful day meeting and greeting the<br />
anteaters of UCI with our cheers and excitement for service.<br />
Wayzgoose
Dance for a Chance<br />
Dance for a Chance was a 4-hour dance festival and a charity hosted by The League on<br />
May 31, at UCI's student center, where all proceeds were donated to the Thomas House<br />
Family Shelter! The Thomas House Family Shelter was a campaign aiming to provide<br />
resources and a shelter to children of homeless families while simultaneously helping them<br />
become more self-sufficient and independent. To help promote this fundraiser from around<br />
the division, groove nominations (based on jam nominations) were planned by The League<br />
where nominated members had to post a facebook video of them dancing to any song for<br />
at least 30 seconds, and then tagging other friends to do the same. On the night of the<br />
fundraiser, many activities were planned, such as photobooths, raffle prizes, henna<br />
tattooing, and many other fun things. In fact, everyone could purchase as many raffle<br />
tickets in an attempt to win prizes, even having a chance to win a date with any of the<br />
League members. DFAC was the last major event of UCI CKI before spring quarter was<br />
over, it was a fun night to relax and de-stress after memorial day weekend.
End of the Year Banquet ~ City Lights<br />
UCI Circle K's end of the year banquet was a magical, classy night out filled with<br />
laughter, memories, performances, tears, speeches, gifts, and awards. Spots were<br />
limited and was filled quickly, but general members, past/new board<br />
members/family heads, and guests gathered around University Club at UCI on<br />
May 22, <strong>2016</strong> to celebrate and look back on the accomplishments from the past<br />
year, install the new board members, and perceive a new future as we start a new<br />
journey of Circle K. Weeks before this event took place, there was a banquet<br />
proposal contest where members could ask their special someone to this event in<br />
order to win a free pair of tickets for the former! With this in mind, congratulations<br />
to Vivian Lee and Christian Poon for winning the banquet proposal contest this<br />
year!

with my NarFam! I could have<br />
sworn it was just days ago it<br />

you all coming up the stairs to<br />

amazing journey together. To<br />
my NarFam littles, you all have<br />
been a huge part of my life in<br />
UCI and I can’t thank you<br />
enough for being yourselves. To<br />
my cobigs, I honestly love you<br />
both so much as if we are<br />
actually married and always will<br />
forever. NarFam, y’all are the<br />
best thing I never had. No<br />
matter what happens in life, I<br />
will always be there. Call me,<br />

Sea turtles gave me a home that I<br />
could go to whenever I wanted. It<br />
gave me so many memories. My<br />
bigs have been so open and<br />
welcoming and my seablings always<br />
know how to push me and make<br />
me smile.<br />
When asked, “how much do<br />
you love sea turtles?”, his<br />
response:<br />
A LOT.<br />
I'm still in awe of how so many<br />
personalities can come together and<br />
still be so close to one another. Every<br />
social interaction we have leaves my<br />
heart feeling so full, and the amount of<br />
wholesomeness in our fam always<br />
makes my day :')<br />
My fam is such an unSHELLfish and<br />
TURTLEy supportive group of<br />
individuals you have to SEA to<br />
believe. I love my fam, and even<br />
though I need the cash, I wouldn't<br />
trade them for any sufficient dollar<br />
amounts.

Your bigs love you profusely. There was<br />
no way we could ever imagine how<br />
great of a family we would have. Every<br />
single one of you have made a huge<br />
impact in our lives.<br />
Thank you for all the smiles, laughs,<br />
and unconditional love.. We will cherish<br />
the memories we have made for the<br />
rest of our lives.<br />
My bigs were one of the first people in<br />
college who showed me what genuine<br />
compassion looks and feels like.<br />
Whether it's a hug, a smile, or a<br />
random visit to my down, they never<br />
fail to brighten my day! The positivity<br />
they have brought into my life inspires<br />
me to pass it onto others and reminds<br />
me of how lucky I am. I honestly love<br />
them so much!<br />
Thank you for everything you do for<br />
us. You always make time for us<br />
despite your busy schedules and we<br />
know that we can come to you for<br />
anything. Seal Family is a family<br />
where everyone feels welcomed and<br />
loved and it could not have been<br />
possible without amazing bigs like you<br />
guys.<br />
I don’t really believe in fate, but<br />
looking back this past year, I think I<br />
can really say that I was meant to<br />
meet the three of you. I found a home<br />
in your hugs, your comforting words,<br />
your warm welcomes. I support y’all in<br />
everything that you do, and I love you<br />
more than garlic bread. Thanks for<br />
everything.

Hello Starfishies you already<br />
know you're great but we'll just<br />
tell you again and that we're<br />
happy every one of you was in our<br />
fam this year. Thanks for<br />
embracing our weirdness and<br />
always sticking together.<br />
So glad that I joined CKI and met so<br />
many great people this year! So<br />
grateful that we were able to come<br />
together through service. I've learned<br />
so much more about myself and grown<br />
so much as a person. I will always<br />
cherish the memories I have gathered<br />
from CKI. #starfishfamrepresent<br />

Induction Night<br />
Induction night was a memorable night for<br />
every Circle K member as everyone<br />
gathered around the Anteater Steps<br />
anxiously waiting to see which family they<br />
would be placed in for the <strong>2016</strong> to <strong>2017</strong><br />
year. After receiving the cue, every member<br />
opened up an envelope containing a<br />
message of where to meet their Circle K<br />
family.<br />
Board members and family heads were<br />
enthusiastic to see the littles they would<br />
help and see grow throughout the year,<br />
while new members and returning<br />
members were ready to meet the family<br />
many memories were going to be created<br />
with. Overall, induction night brought all<br />
Circle K families together and marked the<br />
start of the year.<br />

Trick - or -<br />
Treat for UNICEF<br />
Before this night, I have only been trick or treating once .<br />
The first time I was out seeking candy, but this night I was<br />
out there seeking not for myself, but for others, for<br />
something bigger than myself. The night started with<br />
everyone meeting at the flagpoles in costume. From there<br />
we were put into teams and off we went into the night. As<br />
we went house to house we explained to people what we<br />
were doing, and said anything they could donate would be<br />
greatly appreciated. Most people gave what they could,<br />
though there was one woman who actually gave us what<br />
equated to about half of what we raised that night. She<br />
was really sweet and to my teams surprise, we ended up<br />
raising the most that night. It's a nice feeling knowing you<br />
are able to positively impact the world around you.<br />

CKI South<br />
Crazy Kompetition for Infants South<br />
(CKI South) was a Cal-Nev-Ha district<br />
fundraiser that took place during the<br />
beginning of the year. On Saturday,<br />
October 22, members from around<br />
the district met in Stanton, California to<br />
compete in a day full of fun minigames,<br />
relays, and activities while<br />
embodying the tenet of fellowship! In<br />
fact, this was the first district event<br />
where many new Circle K members<br />
met each other from different schools<br />
throughout the Cal-Nev-Ha district.<br />
Some of the funds from this event<br />
were donated to the Pediatric Trauma<br />
Program (PTP), which is a campaign<br />
that strives to alleviate and reduce the<br />
incidence rate of children killed or<br />
injured by trauma.<br />
The winner of this year's CKI South, for the third<br />
time in a row, is UCI Circle K's<br />
#TeamDiane2TheReturnofTeamDiane!<br />
Congratulations!<br />
We are proud of you!<br />

I'll gladly admit that I<br />
felt a lump in my<br />
throat when I learned<br />
of the amazing things<br />
that our collective<br />
funds had managed<br />
to accomplish. For a<br />
relatively small price,<br />
we managed to do<br />
something incredible,<br />
and that was by far<br />
my favorite part of<br />
CKI South.

Fall<br />
Family<br />
Day<br />
Get hyped for Family Day! Fall Family<br />
Day was a great opportunity for Circle K<br />
members to bond with their new families<br />
while playing a variety of games. Families<br />
learned about team work as they played<br />
Capture the Flag, The Sponge Game, and a<br />
water-themed relay race that ended with<br />
the bottle flip challenge! What a great way<br />
to bond with everyone!
At first, I was super nervous to have so many<br />
lines, but acting in the FTC skit truly was one<br />
of the best feeling in the world! Standing on<br />
stage, acting my heart out with the rest of<br />
the club, dancing, and hearing the crowd<br />
react to our skit really made my FTC<br />
experience one of the best I could ask for!<br />
- Sabrina Bodine, Sea Turtle Family<br />
The best of FTC had to be the cheers! The way that<br />
people just screamed their hearts out, joined together<br />
as one, and stomped the floor with all their might<br />
made me feel so incredibly a part of the CKI family.<br />
- Vanvy Pham, Angler Family<br />
Fall<br />
was a Cal-Nev-Ha district event that took place during the beginning of the year. From<br />
November 4 th to 6 th , members from around the district drove to Sonora, California to<br />
embark on a weekend of workshops, talent acts, competitions, bonding, spirit battles, and<br />
more activities that embodied the three tenets of Circle K (service, fellowship, and<br />
leadership)! Thank you, FTC committee, for working hard during<br />
the months prior to the event. Also, thank you, Priscilla Lu and<br />
TrainingJosh Montefalcon, for represent us anteaters in the FTC<br />
committee.<br />
Lastly, congratulations to Roy Golingan and<br />
Conference<br />
Sabrina Fang for planning an amazing FTC skit<br />
this year. Every member worked hard and<br />
challenged themselves to perform their best!

Change Thru Games is one of UCI Circle K's<br />
premiere fundraisers! Members gather to take part in a<br />
24-hour live stream for the Kiwanis Family House, playing video games,<br />
doing dares, and entering raffles all for the sake of charity. Being able to see the<br />
event grow and become the production it was this past year has been one of<br />
my biggest accomplishments here in Circle K, but the most rewarding<br />
experience is seeing members have fun and interacting with<br />
one another while giving to a great cause.<br />
- Circle K's Sweetheart, Kyler Tagupa
Supporters dared committee members to do specific<br />
dares in exchange for donations.<br />
After every $100 raised, one member from the<br />
committee also fulfilled a Milestone Dare!<br />

Green Thrones<br />
The first time I wanted to check out Green<br />
Thrones, I was reluctant. I did not know the people<br />
who were posting about it on Facebook and<br />
afraid I would not get to actually study. However,<br />
my friend, Debbie, and I decided to go. The first<br />
time we went, we were greeted by, of course,<br />
Great Guy Kevin Carizon. Additionally, we got to<br />
interact with people we know, but have not<br />
formally met. It was also convenient because I got<br />
to study all night, sleep, wake up, and then walk<br />
across student center to HIB 100 for my first final.<br />
Green Thrones was a great place to study<br />
because at times of stress, there was always<br />
someone else who was willing to talk when I<br />
wanted to procrastinate or as people call it, "take<br />
a break." - Sean Reyes

Quarterly Chillout is exactly what it sounds like. It's a chance<br />
for members to just take a break and chill out. I think<br />
what's great about it is that it's such a simple and relaxed<br />
social where members can just have a good time in<br />
Aldrich Park. I've loved setting up blankets and tents on<br />
the grass, playing frisbee and baseball, and just hanging<br />
out with everyone. I look forward to Chillout each quarter.<br />
It's always a fun time and my favorite thing about it<br />
will always be spending time with the club and people I<br />
love.<br />
