The Root of CKI: History of

4

Greetings Circle K’ers. My name is Justin Hahn

and I am your Assistant District Administrator. I also

serve as the Kiwanis Family Chair for the Wisconsin

Upper Michigan Kiwanis District. Have you ever

wondered where Kiwanis came from? Where did it

all start? How did your parent organization come to

fruit? Being that we are approaching the 100 year

anniversary of Kiwanis International, I thought I

would share with you a little about the beginnings

of this wonderful organization.

Kiwanis started as an idea of Allen S. Browne

and Joseph C. Prance in 1914. Together they

recruited members and charged a $5.00 membership fee. They named the

organization The Supreme Lodge Benevolent Order Brothers, where they

nicknamed it “BOB”. With the help of a Detroit historian, they changed the

name to Kiwanis which was modeled after the Indian phrase “NunKee-wan-

is” meaning “we have a good time-we make noise”. Kiwanis chartered on

January 21, 1915 where this date has been the birthday of Kiwanis ever since.

Kiwanis adopted the motto “We Build” in 1920 and remained unchanged

until 2005 where Kiwanis adopted the new motto of “Serving the Children of

the World”. The Kiwanis Club of Detroit was the original Kiwanis Club housing

175 members. By 1918, Kiwanis grew to nearly 100 clubs housing nearly 10,000

members. At this time, the headquarters of Kiwanis was located in Chicago.

Kiwanis steadily grew in membership and as a result had to keep moving

locations until its final destination of Indianapolis in 1981, where we have

called home ever since.

Today Kiwanis houses more than 8,700 clubs and home to more than 597,500

Kiwanis Family members. Kiwanians participate in more than 150,000 service

projects spanning more than 80 nations and geographic areas. So as you

can see, Kiwanis has a rich history with so much more than this article can

offer. So as Kiwanis continues to celebrate its 100 year anniversary, let’s work

to have the best year ever and celebrate being a part of such an amazing

organization.

While being awarded with these awards is fantastic the most important award is Distinguished District. This award says that all of the members of WUM, all 644 of us, have done some truly amazing things within this organization this year! Truly proving that we live to serve and love to serve! WUM is a distinguished district because of the dedication, commitment, and passion that we all have for service, leadership and fellowship. WUM is WUM-derful and now all of International knows!

Hey y’all this is my journal of my experience at CKIx, the combined experience of the Large Scale Service Project (LSSP) and International Convention (ICON)! The #WUMvasion took Nashville by surprise and was a six-day experience I will never forget! Tuesday: Three #WUMVANS left Milwaukee for Nashville! There was car dancing, snapchats, singing and lucky enough not a lot of traffic! #WUMVAN1 made up car games, found many Waffle Houses for food cravings, and were the first ones to arrive in Nashville!

Wednesday: First day of LSSP! My group the HonkyTonks gathered our water bottles and our service clothes and did a river and highway clean-up! With a high of 96 degrees, nothing stopped us from getting messy and making the river and highway clean and beautiful! Thursday: The HonkyTonks donned on safety goggles and made tables with Tools for Schools! This program that creates desks and chairs for schools in Nashville using old school materials and of course the help of volunteers! We made over 20 desks and learned some new marketable skills! By the end of LSSP as a whole, all of the members in attendance did over 4,000 hours for the Nashville community! Thus showing that CKI members really do Live to serve, love to serve! (Remember to track those hours!)

Friday: We got to business! We caucused! Similar to what happens at DCON, members run can run for a position. Following caucuses we went into House of Delegates and did our first round of voting. Our new International President is Kathy Le from the Western Canada District, our International Vice President is Clara Oh from the Missouri-Arkansas District, and our Sub-Region Trustee is Ashley Wolfe is from the Illinois-Eastern Iowa District! Saturday: Workshops, get ya workshops! This day was filled with workshops, my favorite was of course Mama Nonnie and her etiquette session! Later that evening was the awards ceremony and WUM took home 18 awards! Congrats to all! Sunday: We said our goodbyes and started out for the Dairyland. But first #WUMVAN1 stopped at Waffle House and then Kiwanis International Headquarters!

CKIx was such a great experience! I hope you consider going to Indianapolis for next years convention and the celebration of Kiwanis’ 100th year!

With 2014 more than half way over, the school year is creeping up on us. That means Circle K meetings and events can resume and with that comes the planning of these events. To help you all out, we have decided to give you a few pointers to make your events outstanding...and perhaps a potential award winner. This summer, the Awards, Regulations and History Committee has painstakingly combed through every word of every award to make them easier for you to complete. The lovely Marissa has graciously allowed us to highlight a few of them here and there. Below are a few things to think about when planning club socials and fundraisers:

“Outstanding Club Social Award” Fun and socializing are key parts of Circle K and a GREAT way to kick

off the year. Socials provide a reason to gather, socialize, exchange ideas, do activities and have fun! This award focuses on the fellowship amongst new and returning members and most importantly, fellowship with your local K-Family clubs. When applying for this award, make sure you read the form carefully and give a full explanation of the event with an extra focus on the fellowship. Also make sure to provide the required signatures at the end of the form.

“Outstanding Club Fundraiser Award”

This award recognizes a club’s dedication and efforts in producing a great fundraiser for their own club or to a meaningful cause or charity. This award looks quite a bit different from previous years. In the past, it has consisted of an essay that maybe got your point across. This year, it is more form based – asking questions to get the cold hard facts down on paper – followed by a shorter essay to explain the nature, planning and participation of the event. An outstanding fundraiser should include a goal set before the event, some sort of advertising about the event and as always, your local Kiwanis Family clubs or other Circle K clubs.

The official forms will be given to club presidents at MAC, be available as a Google Doc and emailed if needed. Any event held between April 1st, 2014 and January 20th, 2015 is eligible. The awards must be postmarked by January 20th, 2015. If you have any questions, please contact me at [email protected]. I challenge each club to submit at least one award.

The summer time is here, which means play, fun, and relaxation. For others, we are at

summer school, working for our tuition bills, and struggling to find the fun time. However,

service may not be something that we are thinking about this summer. I know that I find it

difficult to do service. My town is small, and I cannot find projects. Further, with my overly busy

schedule, I struggle checking my emails, let alone do service. How can any college student

possibly manage any time for service? Well, it is my hope that this article can help your

situation.

The first trouble is that we all think it must be a grand,

elaborate, and spectacular project in order for it to be considered

as service. Yet, a simple service project can be done in front of the

television. What?! I can do service and watch television. Yes, you

can! For example, if you can knit or crochet, you can knit a scarf or

crochet a washcloth while watching television. Both knitting needles

(or crochet needles) and yarn are relatively inexpensive for hobbies

and can be learned quickly. When the project is completed, these products can be donated

to the local homeless shelter or food pantry. Further, if you are not driving, you can knit or

crochet during those long drives on those fantastic family vacations. We all have a little time

to do a little service every single day.

Now, most college students tend to become overly burdened with too many tasks,

meaning that time is limited and precious. How could I possibly find time this summer to do

service this summer when I have not time? Well, you will need to make time and find a time

that works for you. I challenge you to perform at least five service hours this month and this

next month. It may sound obnoxious, but you can do it. There is something out there for you to

do in your town, and I will help you in this next paragraph.

Our final problem is that there are not many opportunities to do

service during the summer months, especially in my small town. I say,

“Phooey!” You are not looking hard enough, or your imagination is not

expanded enough to think of doing something. What does every single

small town have every single summer? They have summer fairs, carnivals,

and parades. You can help out there. There are booths with service

organizations who may be looking for help to run the booth. Find a Kiwanis

club in a nearby town who has a booth at the fair that you can help out at.

Other places to look include local stores’ bulletin boards and the local

newspaper. Further, many towns have just as many churches as bars. Avoid

the bars, and go to the local churches. Thrift sales, festivals, and other activities keep churches

busy during the summer months. Thus, there are many opportunities to do service if you know

where to look.

Well, I hope that you are able to accept and complete my challenge. Ten hours of

service are yours to grab if you are willing and passionate to grasp this opportunity. I ask of

something that is reasonable, but it may challenge you. It can be many simple projects such

as knitting or crocheting while watching television. Otherwise, if you lack the time but want to

do a bigger project, plan out your month and time now in order to accomplish your task. Be

better than me and quit say, “I will do it tomorrow.” You can do it today; do it now! Finally, you

must expand your limited view on life and search for the answers in which you seek. If you idly

sit where you are, chances are slim that you will find the answers which you seek. Happy

volunteering!

Matthew Bowe, District Service Chair, would like to invite you to utilize these

calendars in order to better help you stay committed to service even throughout the

summer. We hope these ideas are helpful to you, especially regarding etiquette and

acts of kindness! For more information regarding service hours and service ideas,

please visit Matt’s blog at ltrapper.blogspot.com. Have a beautiful summer, and

don’t forget to volunteer!

Everyone be split into groups and attend the

same 5 workshops. Workshops will cover a

variety of topics, from Circle K International

history to running an effective meeting, to

having a social! All workshops are geared

toward executive board members,

committee chairs, and general members. No

matter your role in Circle K, you’ll be sure to

learn more about the organization and how

to recruit and retain members!

The price of lunch is included in

the registration fee! Feel free to

include any dietary needs/

restrictions on the registration form!

MERP is 10am to 4pm. However, the fun

doesn’t stop there! For those who are

interested, there is a small amusement

park, Bay Beach, near campus where we

can go and eat dinner and go on the

rides! Food and tickets are fairly cheap

(25 cents per ticket, with each ride being

2-4 tickets). Feel free to stay as long as

you’d like for some Circle K fellowship!

There will be service projects for members

during registration time from 8 to 10am.

Come ready to participate in service while

you wait for the program to start!

Are you ready for a day FULL of fun at our very first Kiwanis Family

event of the year? The 2014 Kiwanis Family Baseball Game is back at

Miller Park this fall and will include all things Kiwanis Family and baseball

while raising money for an amazing cause: The ELIMINATE Project! Mark

your calendars for Sunday, September 14th because this is one event

you absolutely do not want to miss!

Kiwanis Family Baseball Game is a long standing tradition in our

Wisconsin-Upper Michigan District that the Circle K District puts on for all

branches of the Kiwanis Family. This year, we will be in Milwaukee

watching our very own Brewers play the Cincinnati Reds at 1:10 p.m.

that Sunday. Be sure to stay tuned for more information on a potential

Kiwanis Family tailgate before the game!

Tickets are $20 each, with $11 of each ticket going towards the

ELIMINATE Project. This incredible initiative is a joint project between

Kiwanis International and UNICEF to end Maternal-Neonatal Tetanus in

countries all around the world. Although 35 countries have already had

MNT eliminated, there's still 24 countries left to go. The ELIMINATE Project

ends in July 2015, so Kiwanis Family Baseball Game will not only

strengthen our Kiwanis Family relations without our district, but will also

help end MNT around the world.

Need extra incentive to come? Every attendee will receive a FREE

Robin Yount bobble head at the game! Also, if you postmark your

ticket order form by Friday, July 18th, your name will be put into a

drawing for a free $25 gift certificate for the

Milwaukee Brewers Gift Shop!

The last chance to get a Kiwanis Family

Baseball Game ticket is on August 8th and our goal

is to have 250 attendees. Let's come together as a

Kiwanis Family to make this year's Kiwanis Family

Baseball Game a huge success!

Lena Scheibengraber, UW-Milwaukee

Thank you for being my biggest role model this past year. I

know that I can come to you with anything, and that really

means so much more than you could ever know. I aspire

to be half the leader that you are. Can't wait to join you in

Kiwanis!

Jim Tammen, Marquette University

Shout out to Jim for being the best board

buddy ever and still looking out for me

while I'm in China! I can't wait to see all the

incredible things you do with the Metro

division this next year!

Megan Johnson, Edgewood College

Megan not only baked goods for the bake sale but

also worked the bake sale for two extra hours when

she was needed! Megan also raised money for

March of Dimes as well as walked at March for

Babies. She even invited another person to come

along with us!

Shout out to my BFF all the way in Seattle!

Miss you!

Katie Keyser, UW-Green Bay

I'm so glad that you decided to come to

CKIx! You are so fun to hang out with,

and I know how much you learned that

week. Can't wait to see what you

accomplish as a CKI leader this year :)

Emily Lingeman, UW-Madison

We will miss you very much next

year. You, Laura, & Taryn have

done so many great things for this

club. Good luck with your future

endeavors!

Stephanie Van Kampen, UW-Madison

Casey Scheibengraber, Alverno College

I had so much fun hanging out with you in

Nashville at CKIx. First of all, you're funny. Second

of all, ticks. Third of all, sunburn. But most

importantly, that card game and your reaction.

Too funny. Love you!

Elizabeth Crawford, MSOE

Elizabeth designed and ordered our beautiful club t-shirts

even as her Senior Design Project was approaching the

due date!

Sarah Fonger & Bryan Schut, UW-Platteville

Both of these amazing people have been in CKI for all four years of their college careers

and have made a huge impact on our club. From the time they were freshman up to

the day they graduated, they have given their time and hearts to communities far and

wide. This dynamic duo have not only stepped up in the community, but have been role

models in our club. They know how to put smiles on our faces and have fun, yet help a

friend when they need it most. They have made many friends along their journey and

have impacted lives in one way or another. As we wish them luck in their new part of

life, there will always be a place for them in our CKI family.

the past few months. I hope to become a leader like you.

Thanks for hosting

an awesome MDG

You rock!

Teasha Kirkwood, Alverno College

You are flawless. Thank you for BEY-ing such a

great friend. Love you, boo boo! Ooh bye ;)

Jordan Sandona, Marquette University

After our club had a checkbook

balancing error, we overestimated our

funds available for Spring Fling, so we

ended up spending more money than

anticipated. Thankfully, Jordan took

money out of her own pocket to help

our club balance out again until we

were able to fundraise some more.

Gilly, UW-Platteville

Thank you for helping clean up after

Letter from the Editor

Dearest WUM Members,

I hope you all have been enjoying your summer and have been

taking time to volunteer when you are not working or having fun!

As many of you know, I spent five weeks of my summer in Peru,

where I studied at a university in Arequipa and also spent some of my

mornings volunteering in a village higher in the mountains, called Alto

Cayma. With a group of eight other individuals, we created a “food

forest” in the hopes of better supplying the village with healthier, more reliable food options. The photo above

shows me planting a papaya tree! We also constructed three compost bins beside this garden. By doing so, the

goal was to teach the residents of Alto Cayma how to use these fully productive systems in order to better

supply themselves with different sources of food while still conserving as

much water as possible.

It was incredible to learn about the different culture in Peru and to

also be able to understand the societal struggles that Peru experiences. It

was very evident that poverty is a real concern in Peru, especially in the

rural areas.

I loved that I had the opportunity to study and volunteer while

in Peru. Of course I was able to do fun things as well, such as visit

Machu Picchu, visit the coast (pictured right), whitewater raft (pictured

above—I was just about to jump off a cliff!), and other cool activities. I

would love to return to Peru someday, or another country in South

America. It was definitely an experience of a lifetime!

Yours in Service,

Marissa Blackmore
