[Sneha Bhat]

Hey Capital District!

Can you believe that it's already May? Wow, time is flying, and summer is
approaching! But this also means that as you prepare for finals and
everything else that might be going on, it's also time to start thinking
about applying for Circle K International Club Awards!!

The updated *2007-08 Club Awards Packet* can be found on the CKI web site *
HERE* <http://circlek.org/lit/forms/awdinfopak.pdf>, and it contains
information and/or entry forms on all of the following awards and contests:

   - *Growth Enhances Membership (GEM) Award* - Clubs do *NOT* need to apply
   specifically for this award. The five clubs with the highest percentage
   increase in membership in will be recognized at ICON. The total dues a club
   pays by April 15 of each year will be the figure the International Office
   uses to compute the percentage of growth for that club, and you can check
   out the packet for more details.
   - *Circle K International Club Achievement Award* - The Club Achievement
   Award is designed to recognize and honor those CKI clubs that have excelled
   in all aspects of club operation. It is divided into two different parts,
   Part One which is comprised of point-based questions, and Part Two which is
   judged by International and has essay based questions.
   - *Single Service Award* - The Single Service Award is designed to
   recognize and honor those CKI clubs, through dedication and unselfish
   efforts, producing the best single project or service during the year. The
   entry form asks for an essay detailing need for the project, planning and
   evaluation of the project, club participation, publicity, and evaluation of
   the project, and up to six supplementary materials can also be submitted.
   - *Outstanding Kiwanis-Family Relations Award* - The Outstanding
   Kiwanis-Family Relations Award is designed to recognize and honor those CKI
   clubs that have participated in activities and events to enhance
   Kiwanis-Family relations. Points are earned based on participation in
   Kiwanis-Family service projects, the Key to College Program, participation
   in the Kiwanis Career Contacts program, Kiwanis-Family interclubs, and any
   other Kiwanis-Family special events/conferences and conventions.
   - *Club Newsletter Award* - The Club Newsletter Award is designed to
   recognize and honor those CKI clubs that produce a high-quality newsletter
   on a regular basis. The newsletter may be produced in paper or electronic
   form.

   - *Traditional and Non-Traditional Scrapbook Awards* - The Club Scrapbook
   Awards are designed to recognize and honor those CKI clubs that produce a
   high-quality scrapbook chronicling the activities of their club. The size
   of a traditional scrapbook is limited to 18" x 27". Scrapbooks larger in
   size should be entered into the Non-Traditional Scrapbook Category.
   - *Oratorical Contest* - The Circle K International Oratorical contest is
   designed to encourage members to share their attitudes, beliefs, and
   experiences regarding the organization through a prepared speech. This also
   assists members in developing public-speaking skills while providing an
   inspirational and motivational message. The subject of all orations shall
   be, "*Your values and the actions you take based upon those values
   determines your integrity. Describe how CKI has strengthened your values and
   integrity."* The competition will be staged during the Circle K
   International Convention, and the location will be published in the official
   convention program.
   - *Club T-shirt Award* - This award is designed to award, on the
   International level, those clubs that reach excellence in club T-shirt
   design and distribution. Shirts will be judged based on whether CKI insignia
   is on the shirt, the presence of the club and university's name, written
   explanations on the design and the marketing of the shirt, and originality
   of the design.
   - *Service Initiative Award* - This award is to recognize clubs who
   organize and perform an outstanding project in relation to the Circle K
   International Service Initiative. Entries will be judged based on the
   project's description, the need for the project, planning and execution of
   the project, club participation, collaboration with other organizations,
   public relations, service initiative focus area, and overall participation
   of the club.

Check out the packet at the aforementioned link for more information on each
of those awards! Make sure your club is represented at International
Convention (ICON) this year, and be rewarded for all your hard work: APPLY
NOW!! :) Read over the directions carefully, as failure to follow directions
could lead to disqualification or a loss of points.

These awards are due by *June 15* *OR* *on-site* at the 2008 Circle K
International Convention in Denver, Colorado. This means that if you are
attending ICON (which you can find more information about on the CDCKI web
site HERE <http://cdcki.org/events/ICON_main.htm>), you have a little bit
more time to complete your applications. *For more information on
International Convention, you can also check out the Crabs in Denver
reflector at **http://groups.google.com/group/crabsindenver*<http://groups.google.com/group/crabsindenver>
*.*

If you have any questions, let me know!

Thanks,

Sneha Bhat
