   I.    CALL TO ORDER by President Nick Hoffman, 7:15 pm


   II.   WELCOME
            Welcome to everyone who attended this meeting.  Special thanks
            to our guests: Don Kossick from Downtown Ann Arbor Kiwanis,
            Linda Bodzin from Holmes Elementary, Circle K Administrator
            Sean Havera, District Governer Kristy Slominski, and Lieutenant
            Governer Eastern Division Michelle Radabaugh.


   III.  WHAT IS CIRCLE K?
            Circle K is an organization based on strong foundations of
            service, friendship, and leadership.


   IV.    SERVICE
            Club Treasurer Stefanie Theis talked about Circle K's tenet of
            service.  What makes Circle K different from other community
            service organizations is that there is no minimum service hour
            requirement.  Next, Linda Bodzin from Holmes Elementary talked
            about mentorship, a weekly one-on-one program with fourth and
            fifth grade students. Linda talked about how much the students
            benefit from having mentors, and she read a couple of letters
            past mentorship participants had written.


   V.     FRIENDSHIP
            Club Editor Lindsay Grude introduced the friendship aspect
            of Circle K.  She talked about some of the past social events
            and how the relationships she formed in Circle K have kept her
            an active member in the club.  Service Director Kelly Cobb also
            talked about his social development through Circle K and the
            many friends he has made since joining.


   VI.    LEADERSHIP
            Vice President Phillip LaRue talked about the leadership tenet,
            highlighting the many ways that Circle K helps members with a
            wide variety of interests develop as leaders.  Amy Mangieri
            narrated her progression through different levels of leadership
            within Circle K.


   VII.   SLIDESHOW
 	   After hearing about each of Circle K's three tenets we saw them
            in action in a slideshow of pictures from past service
            projects, leadership retreats, and social events.


   VIII.  SERVICE SOCIAL
            At the end of the meeting we painted little pots that we will
            take to a local nursing home.


   IX.    NEXT WEEK'S MEETING
            If you are interested in joining one of Circle K's 10
            committees, we hope to see you at our next meeting, Thursday
            September 22nd, at 7:00 pm in the Anderson Room of the Michigan
            Union.  At the "Meet the Committees" meeting you will learn
            about the role of each committee to be able to decide if you
            want to apply for a position.  Committees are vital to the
            success of Circle K - find out where you fit in!


   X.     THANK YOU!
            Thank you all for coming.  Please join us for our annual picnic
            at Gallup Park for some food and lots of fun!  The picnic will
            be this Sunday, September 18th from 4:00 to 7:00 pm.
