Official Newsletter of Virginia Tech CKI: Winter Edition!

Last month, CKI paid a visit to Heritage Hall Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center in Christiansburg. Heritage Hall is a center that offers standard medical care, respite (temporary institutional care of a dependent elderly, ill, or handicapped person, providing relief for their usual caregivers) care, and short-term rehabilitation. This occurs from the efforts of attending physicians and over 200 volunteers from various community organizations.

While there, members of our club spent time with residents

“I got to hang out with a centurion and that was pretty awesome. She was cool and lively and it [visiting

the nursing home] was a great experience in general.”

— Andrew Barnes

during their monthly recreational dance time. CKI’ers talked with the many residents who were present at the event. A meal was shared and there was plenty of dancing and singing going on! It was amazing to see all the joy and excitement we brought to the residents during our visit. Thanks to everyone who came out!

My name is Seinna Lee, and I am a second generation Korean-American. I was born in Richmond, Virginia on July 8th, 1993. I have two siblings, Hanna and David, who are nine years older than me. Currently, I am a sophomore studying biology at Virginia Tech. I plan on using this degree to further help others through a career in the health field. In addition to Circle K International, I am in the co-ed fraternity, Alpha Epsilon Delta. I enjoy cooking, baking, and snowboarding. Being a Hokie has been a once in a lifetime experience! I am so grateful for its wonderful opportunities!
