If you would like to help us chalk and flyer check the website for times and info or email Megan at megfoley@umich.edu VIII. MICHIGAN DAILYS Every year we do a fundraiser with the Michigan Daily handing out papers before home football games. This is a great way to help out the club AND earn back your dues. Attending once gets you $10 back, twice gets you $20, and coming three times returns your full $40. We need to have 20+ people for each game so we really need your help. Check the calandar for dates and times. IX. K-LYMPICS We had a very fun activity this meeting as it was out first time back together after summer and everyone was in a fun mood. We divided up into five different countries, ones that don't normally receive many medals, and competed in a few decidedly non-Olympic events such as the limbo and paper tower construction. The countries with the most point at the end of competition were awarded "medals" of candy. ---THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN CIRCLE K--- * * * * * # # * MEETINGS: Thursdays, 7pm, Union * # # * "The greatest WEB PAGE: www.umcirclek.org * # # * service to E-MAIL: circlek@umich.edu * ### * yourself * # # * is service OFFICE: 4213 Michigan Union * # # * to others" HOURS: 2-5pm M-Th * # # * PHONE: 615-0523 * * * * -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The mission of the University of Michigan Circle K is to: Inspire and empower college students to develop a lifetime commitment to serving the community through a variety of projects, a plethora of leadership opportunities, and a dynamic social atmosphere while allowing members to be engaged in what is important to them. )=()=()=()=()=()=()=( I'M GETTING A KITTEN TODAY! )=()=()=()=()=()=()=( And his name is Bruce!
