III.   FOOD GATHERERS
        Missy Orge spoke to our club during the meeting and told us
        about her organization, Food Gatherers. Food Gatherers is an
        organization in Ann Arbor that collects donated food from area
        businesses for redistribution to those in need. One organization
        to which Food Gatherers distributes the food is Community
        Kitchen, a soup kitchen in Ann Arbor that Circle K sends
        volunteers to each month.

          alarms, and helping local seniors at the Neighborhood Senior

VI.    PROVIDES UPDATE
        Brain Bae gave us an update on the child UM Circle K is sponsoring
        though the PROVIDES organization. We got a letter telling us all
        about how she is doing. Right now she is looking forward to
        school. We will be hearing more about her in the weeks and months
        to come.


VII.   HALLOWEEN SKITS
        To have a little Halloween fun at our meeting we performed some
        Halloween skits. All the skits were made up right on the spot by
        groups of Circle Kers and were pretty funny. Cards were handed out
        with random Halloween and Circle K words on them and then the
        groups had a few minutes to come up with a skit involving all the
        words before performing it in front of the meeting. All of the
        skits were very good except for the one depicting the killing of
        Bruce the cat, which was terrible.

VIII.  INTERROGATION BOX
        Suruchi came up to face the horror of the box and drew the
        question: "Explain why Gatica and Starship Troopers were both
        terrible movies." Having thought that neither movie was all that
        bad, she was able to pick a new question and we now know that
        for exactly $112,000 she will go for 3 months without bathing. I
        hope she uses that money to buy some new friends.


IX.     CLOSING
        Next week's meeting is Inductions, and starting at 6pm we will be
        having dinner in the Pendleton room of the Union. Please dress
        nicely, i.e. no jeans or t-shirts. If you have still not handed
        in your membership form, it's not too late to become a member,
        however we may not be able to call off your name at Inductions.

Like the header above says, I am in fact now 21 years
old. My birthday was Thursday night right after the
meeting, and Lisa threw me a (kind of) surprise party
which was a lot of fun, (and partially explains why
you didn't get this email until now.) All in all though
I had a pretty awesome birthday. I'm not asking a question
this time due to low response levels, so if you have
a problem with that you can email:
