What is Circle K?
Large Scale Events
Large scale events are projects and events that take more time, effort,
and planning than other service activities. Often it takes many
months and individuals to plan and execute these events in order to be a
success. Listed below are some of Circle K's previous large scale
events and some that the organization will likely continue in the
future. If you have an idea for an event that
you would like to see happen, you can e-mail the Executive Board
(ckiboard@umich.edu) and they can
help you get one started.
If you would like to get involved with any event listed below, stay
tuned for information at the weekly club
meetings. You can also email the
Executive Board or the respective contact for each
project to ask for additional information.
Past Large Scale Events
CK Service Day (24 Hours of Service and Socials)
Since Circle K's mission focuses on service, the club provides an
opportunity for the campus community to commit to doing
service within a 24-hour period. In the past, we have painted a
mural for an elementary school, held a bottle drive
competition, knitted gloves for the needy, traveled to Detroit with
Habitat
for Humanity to work on two houses, and enjoy each other's company. Each
year is different but
equally amazing!
This amazing, fun day of service is put on by the Service
Cluster. If you
have any questions regarding the event please contact the Executive Board
(ckiboard@umich.edu).
A Cappella Concert
For the past three years, Circle K has put on a benefit a cappella
concert. This event involves many of the campus a cappella groups, as
well as some from Pioneer High School and other universities. The
themes have ranged from "American Idol"(2003) to "Friday Night
Live"(2004) and "The
Sweetest Thing"(2005). Each year, we have successfully raised over
$3,000
that has been donated to different non-profit organizations in the Ann
Arbor area.
This event is put on by the Fundraising Committee. If you have any
questions regarding the event, please contact the Fundraising Chair
(ckifund.chair@umich.edu).
Trick-or-Can
Every Halloween, Circle K goes trick-or-treating for canned goods. It
is
a ton
of fun and we generally collect over one ton of food for Food Gatherers,
an organization that provides food essentials to deserving families in
the Washtenaw community. Come dressed up ready for fun, as we collect
food for those who need it (you might even get some candy as well).
This event is put on by the Service Cluster, if you have any
questions regarding the event please contact the Executive Board
(ckiboard@umich.edu).
Book Night
Book Night was created for the children that
participate in the Mentorship Program at Holmes Elementary School. We
bring reading to life through a night filled with fun activities
such as cookie decorating, crafts, games, and story-telling. Afterwards,
each child gets to take home a book for him/herself!
This event is put on by the Service Cluster. If you
have any questions regarding the event, please contact the Executive Board
(ckiboard@umich.edu).
Charit-a-Bowl (Registration Form)
In 2005, for the fourth year in a row, Circle K held a bowling
tournament.
Teams paid a small fee to enter and compete against other teams in a
single-round elimination tournament. All proceeds were donated to a
charity chosen by the winning team.
This event is put on by the Fundraising Committee. If you have any
questions about the event, please contact the
Fundraising Chair (ckifund.chair@umich.edu).
Senior Prom
This dance takes place at the Ypsilanti Senior Center and there is even
a live band! You can help with planning, decorations, or gathering
prizes. We have put on the Senior Prom for the last four years in a row
and
it is always a big hit among the senior citizens.
This event is put
on by the Service Cluster. If you have any
questions about the event, please contact the Executive Board
(ckiboard@umich.edu).
Do you have an idea that you'd like to see put into action? Is there an
event that you know can be accomplished, but all you need is manpower?
Do you need help organizing or executing an event on campus? If so,
Circle K is ready to listen, to be engaged, and to act. Just email us at
