[CDCKI Chairs] [CDCKI Metro] Hey Metro! It's your April updates!

[Lyndsey Clouatre]

Hey everyone! Hope the semester's wrapping up for you all nicely. There's
just a few things I want to let you all know...


2008-2009 DISTRICT PROJECT

This year's project is called "Shaping Up." It will be a year-long promotion
of physical fitness and wellness activities to children in the hopes of
encouraging them to stay healthy. Our year-end goal for the project is to
build a playground. Stay tuned for more info as it comes!

ICON & LSSP

Come join CDCKI in Denver this August for the 53rd Circle K International
Convention! It will be held August 6-9 at the Adam's Mark Hotel this year.
Also, for a once-in-a-lifetime service opportunity, come join us a few days
earlier for the Large Scale Service Project! Also in Denver, it will be held
August 2-4 and will be a fun-filled time to remember! For more info about
ICON and LSSP, including District Package information for travel,

GOT AN EVENT TO PROMOTE?

If so, let me know! E-mail me with news about your upcoming projects and
I'll promote them to Metro and the rest of the Capital District over the
listserv! Also, did you have an event you're particularly proud of? If so,
e-mail pictures and articles to our District Editor, Adrienne Franklin, at
editor at cdcki.org for submission to our District newsletter, the great
Capital Courier!

WEBSITE COMING SOON!!!

I'm not the most technologically savvy person, but one of my personal goals
is to have a functioning Metro website where we can show past events,
upcoming events, important links, and club pictures. Expect to see this
soon!

SOTC FEEDBACK

If you went to SOTC this year, what did you like about it? What can we do
better? Please e-mail me your comments, criticisms, and other feedbacks so
we can continue to improve SOTC for the future! Also, if you are an 08-09
officer and you have any questions or did not receive materials, *please let
me know ASAP!!!*


Ok, that's all for now! Hope you have a great rest of the week and semester
and, as always, please feel free to get in touch with me via e-mail, phone,
Facebook, or whatever other method other than messenger pigeon. (I have an
irrational fear of pigeons. Don't ask. You'll hate yourself for doing so.)
