Circle K in an international service organization that participates its a variety of service projects and helps lead on- and off-campus groups in incercommunicy service, including partnership with neighboring colleg- es - like Michigan State University. The club is the college division of Kiwanis - an international service organization with differenthbranches, including Key Club at the high school level. Though itsname doesn't suggestcit, volunteering is at the heart of Circle K. The campus club as a whole has a 10,000 service hour goal for this year and currently has logged about 6,825 service hours so far, according to LSA junior Natalie Kittikul, the club's sec- retary. While there is no service hour requirement for general tmembers, the organization offers an extensive calendar filled witha multiple projects each day. "We offer a lot of different proj- ects, from helpisag children to play- inghbingo with the elderly to planting trees," said LSA senior Alli Schaffner, the club's vice president. Schaffner said Circle K is the per- fectcorganization for busy college stu- dents who are looking for ways to give back to the community because of the variety and frequency of events. Students can also use Circle K activities to fill philanthropic or ser- vice requirenments. Circle K'shbiggest'event is its atnnual Service Day in which the club spends 24 hours doing continuous service project4, accordingcto KittikulAtcthis year's Service Day in November, the club had 397 participants working on 77 different service projects, like bucketing for Dance Marathon and tutoring high school students. Kittikul said club members arenn't "just a number" to Circle K leaders. "We actually want you to set up your own projects and go to thena," she said. "We'll help you recruit vol- unteers." Club leaders said participants can sign up on Circle K's virtual calendar on the University chapter's website, which they say makes it easier to be active in the organization. According-to the club's president, Charlie Cure, this method encour- ages club and non-club metmbers alike to participate in service oppor- tunities. "We have a virtual sign-up system, so anyone on campus can click on a project, fill out their information, read a description and then sign up right there," Goelz said. Schaffner said Circle K service projects have spawned many other University groups like The Detroit Partnership and K-granns. - CASANDRA PAGNI GARY GRACA Editor in Chief 734-647-3336 sraeo@miehinndailyenrn CONTACT INFORMATION Newsromn na Nes Tips torrections Leters to he Editnr PholtgaphytDepartment Artn Section Editorial Pate Sports Section Display Sales tlassitied Sales Online Sales Finance DAN NEWMANM Easiness Manae 734-764-0558 trndbnainean@gnnailteom ichoursSn.-Thurs.11 sn.-n2a.m 734-763-2459 ,,ewa@michigandaily.can crrecions@michigandaily.vco tcehedaity@michigandaity.ccn phcnc@michigandaiy.vco artsaaeCo) michiga ndaiy.co m opinion@michigondaiy.nco vpcrts@mivhigondaily.vee display@xivhigandaiy.vcor classifed@isiandaiy.cm cstiiiaads@iciandaiy.com EDITORIAL STAFF' tourtneytRatkowiak ManagingEditor ratkowiak@michigandaity.om CHRIS OZOMOAK/taily tackham tgraduate student Sakib Elahi wins Mr. tntineer 2010 yesterday at nhe Stamps Auditorium.
