A word from the Editor

 

Calander & Save the Dates  

Hi members of Adelphi Circle K,

Welcome to the end of the semester! We had a great year so far with the ending of our recent Wish Month. I hope you are enjoying your time in the club and that you will return next semester. Just because school is over does not mean we stop doing what we do best, which is service. So be on the lookout for some e-mail during winter intersession for service opportunities. If you need rides for any future events just shoot us an e-mail or call/test us and we’ll work something out! Enjoy the rest of this newsletter and happy holidays!

Yours in service, leadership, and fellowship,

Jia Xing Shi Jia Xing Shi Adelphi Circle K Editor

The year thus far…

 

I went on the NY Speaking trip this year for the first time. I enjoyed myself from the very start of the trip even when we were all squished in the car and falling asleep on the people next to us (not mentioning names :) lol!) all the way to the end of the trip where we entertained ourselves by making stars for the upcoming party. We also got to go to many workshops that included learning how to get more people in your club, diversity, ideas for projects to do in your club and so much more! It’s a great way to meet people from all different colleges in NY and get to share ideas with them to help your club as well as there’s. Two of my favorite parts were when we first went to the local YMCA and helping them rake leaves. We got to help a great organization do something simple as just raking leaves so that they could spend more time concentrating on helping the kids. I also really enjoy which we do at every conference, lifelines. It’s a great way to just send a small note to someone telling them something that you admire of them or remind them of a funny event and it puts a smile on everyone’s face. I encourage that everyone goes to a conference. It’s a great way to have fun, gain knowledge of Circle K, learn at the workshops as well as bond with members in the club. DCON is coming soon, come!!

AWESOME JOB EVERYONE!

This year's theme was Harry Potter despite it being a little bit pricey I had an amazing time and made a lot of new friends from mostly Queens College. We have regular hangouts. Basically every member should go because you will fall in love with circle k by the end of the convention because you gain knowledge on how to run your club and you make new friends while also doing community service. So EPIC WIN!

Ronald McDonald House and other events

At the end of September, I went to the Ronald McDonald House. The place was a warm and happy atmosphere. We were cooking a yummy brunch that included pancakes, French toast, oatmeal, and chocolate chip cookies. After the cooking, we took a tour of the house. The place is seriously every child's dream: bright colors, lots of toys, and cool rooms such as the Mets room. I was surprised they take families outside the Long Island area. I was also pleased to see Adelphi University's plaque on the ground. It truly shows that we have made an impact in the past, and I am glad we made an impact on those families that day. I hope to return in the future.

The 3rd Annual District Large Scale Service Project took place this October in Binghamton, NY. Those who attended this district event camped out at a local YMCA and were separated into groups and given a variety of service projects, which includes: working with horses, working at a clothing store, tearing down the walls of a church, helping homeowners clean up after the recent flood, and working at a discovery center. This was the largest DLSSP to date with 63 attendees (12 of which were from our club), this was all possible thanks to our president as well as the NYDCKI Conferences and Convention Chair, Emma Reed.
