Update from the Michigan District:
Hi!
My
name
is
Steven
McCarty
and
I
have
the
honor
of
serving
as
the
Governor
of
the
Mighty
Michigan
District
of
Circle
K
for
the
2015-‐2016
year.
We
have
had
a
busy
summer
with
board
meetings,
CKIx,
Kiwanis
meetings,
and
planning
for
Fall
recruitment
and
club
building.
Our
goals
for
the
2015-‐2016
year
are
incredibly
ambitious—adding
100
members
to
the
district
and
building
4
new
clubs
is
no
easy
task.
Our
club
building
committee
has
been
hard
at
work
counseling
clubs
for
recruitment
and
working
with
Kiwanis
clubs
on
sponsorship.
Their
hard
work
has
paid
off
as
we
just
released
a
club
building
handbook
designed
to
help
club
leadership
build
and
grow
their
membership.
This
committee
is
also
working
on
chartering
Circle
K
chapters
at
nine
schools!
Other
committees
have
been
hard
at
work
as
well.
Our
technology
committee
launched
an
entirely
new
and
upgraded
website,
our
Kiwanis
Family
Committee
hosted
the
first
annual
Kiwanis
Family
Picnic,
our
Events
Planning
Committee
has
all
the
details
of
our
Fall
Rally
planned,
and
our
Service
committee
is
working
hard
to
increase
the
amount
of
service
we
do
as
a
district
while
working
to
reflect
on
its
meaning.
Without
the
hard
work
of
our
district
committees
and
leadership,
these
accomplishments
would
not
be
possible.
Our
success
in
the
upcoming
year
is
largely
based
on
our
fervent
base
of
membership
and
those
leaders
willing
to
ignite
the
change
and
passion
for
service
the
Michigan
District
needs
to
grow.
The
Fall
semester
is
going
to
be
busy!
We
have
almost
two
inter-‐clubs
planned
every
month.
These
range
from
picnics,
to
haunted
houses,
and
cider
mills.
We
are
participating
in
the
first
ever
Kiwanis
Family
week
in
conjunction
with
the
Michigan
District
of
Key
Club.
Not
to
mention,
our
District
events—Fall
Rally
and
Snowpia.
Get
ready
to
get
in
the
game
of
service
with
our
Mario
Party
themed
fun
weekend
of
leadership,
fellowship,
and
service.
The
event
is
October
2-‐4,
2015
in
Howell
Michigan.
If
you
can’t
make
it
for
the
entire
weekend,
I
would
suggest
our
large
scale
service/social
event
called
Snowpia.
Join
us
for
a
day
of
service
and
fellowship
on
November
7th,
2015
hosted
by
Oakland
University.
If
you
have
any
questions,
feel
free
to
contact
me!
We
would
love
to
hear
from
you
or
see
you
at
our
events!
Yours
in
service,
Steven
McCarty
