Mr. CKI Beauty Pageant
UCI Circle K presents its second annual Mr. CKI male beauty pageant!
Mr. CKI at UCI will not be a normal beauty pageant, but a silly rendition of one where all male candidates will be taking part in a "question section", a "future career section", and a "talent section". This will be a district fundraising event to raise money for the Eliminate Project. Find out who's representing UCLA and Metro and come cheer them on!
If you're interested in attending, please sign-up on our online Events Sign-Up page. This event will cost $8 if you sign up and confirm by this Tuesday, January 22, 2012. If you decide to attend after the Tuesday deadline, you may still attend but with the on-site price of $10. Please pay during the general meeting this Thursday night.
Extreme Makeover CKI Edition Application
Welcome to the Extreme Makeover CKI Edition Application!
Please fill out everything as thoroughly as possible. The Extreme Makeover fundraiser is a chance for you to develop a side that you've always wanted or that you've never had before. It's a fun opportunity to show others the potential you have. A team of experts will be assigned to assist in creating your makeover. Your new look will be presented on Thursday, Feb. 23 at the general meeting. There you will strut your stuff and show off to the crowd, culminating in an auction by the end of the meeting for people to bid to have dinner or lunch with you.
The Extreme Makeover is a fundraiser for the Eliminate Project, an organization headed by the Kiwanis organization and UNICEF. It seeks to eliminate terminal maternal and neo-natal tetanus, a disease which costs the lives of 60,000 babies and a significant number of women each year.
*NOTE: If you get chosen:
1. You must dedicate time before the general meeting on Thursday, Feb. 23.
2. You must be present at the general meeting on Thursday, Feb. 23.
3. Pay the $20 fee that will go to our fundraiser.

2011-2012 Membership Application & Dues
Hey everybody! The 2011-2012 Membership Application is up! Check out our Downloads page as well, because it's our first download link for this year! The cost for dues is $30. So be sure to bring $30 with your application to any general meeting, or contact our Treasurer, Edwin Tang, to turn the application in.
So why pay dues?
With these dues you are getting an unforgettable year full of service, making new friends, and building memories. The dues also include insurance to cover any liabilities when traveling from event to event and allow access to all the resources that Circle K has to offer. You will only be able to attend both district and international events such as Fall Training Conference, District Convention and International Convention as a paid dues member. Circle K International is the #1 service organization in the world. Our Circle K here at UCLA was given the rank of #2 in Total Achievement in all of Circle K International this past year and has consistently ranked at the top throughout the years. You can be part of this winning tradition at UCLA Circle K and establish your place in the Kiwanis family.

Fall Training Conference Opportunities
Hello all,
Happy September! Although FTC is still two months away, there are a couple important dates for this upcoming month for everyone, especially for general members.
One of the main ways general members are able to contribute as leaders at FTC is by becoming a workshop host. There are many different workshops they can lead or even co-host... They can even suggest a workshop they are confident they can lead well! There will be info-sessions and a workshop host manual to help those who have not led a workshop before in the past.
Info-sessions will be held Sept. 8 & Sept. 14 at 9pm (click here for the Facebook event)
Workshop host applications are due Sept. 21 at 10pm (click here for Facebook event)
FTC Committee is also looking for a student DJ for our traditional Saturday night dance at FTC! If you know anyone who would be interested, please refer them to the application on the district website. If they get chosen to DJ for the event, they will have their FTC registration ($111) covered!
DJ applications are due Sept. 30 at 11:59pm (click here for Facebook event)
Members can also participate in FTC through talent acts and skits. If any of your club's members has a special talent they'd like to share, make you you encourage them to apply! They can also become involved in any skits (remember, skits are not limited to the club, you may have a divisional skit or a skit with one or more other clubs).
Skit and Talent Act applications are found here and are due on Oct. 14 by 10pm
Please feel free to email kcchen90@gmail.com if you have any questions.
