Hey Capital District!

I'm sure your schedules are all going crazy right now with finals and papers
and all kinds of last minute assignments, but as things start to wind down,
or if you need a break in between your work, here is something important to
think about...

APPLYING FOR AWARDS AND CKI SCHOLARSHIPS!

If you have been involved with your club, feel like you did a good job as a
club officer, have been an outstanding member, or simply are part of an
amazing CKI club which has made strong improvement in the past year, has a
great service project, has done a lot with the District Project, or is just
all around distinguished, then you should be rewarded...and this can be done
by applying for the various awards which can be found on the CDCKI web site
here http://www.cdcki.org/events/DCON_main.html (under the Club Awards
section at the bottom of the page).
