Our annual District Service Project poll is back! There are four projects to choose from, which are detailed below. The poll is on the right hand side of the home page and will be open until February 25 at 11:59 P.M. Happy voting!
CLAW (Circle K Loves Animal Wellbeing)
Are you an animal lover? If the answer is yes, then here is your chance to help the animals you love the most on a larger scale. These animals need food, water, shelter, etc so let’s give them the care that they need. Some of these animals end up in animal shelters because they no longer have a home due to being abandoned or abused. In this project, Circle K will be working with animals to help provide them with some essentials that are needed to live.

What can you do to help?
- volunteer at an animal shelter or zoo (depending on location)
- make dog toys during meetings
- make and donate birdhouses, doghouses, etc
- “adopt” a shelter and/or zoo animal as a club
- host a drive for necessary items for a local shelter

In this project, Circle K will be working with soldiers, veterans, and past/present army members. These individuals have provided a lot for us through their service so let’s show some appreciation and give them some support-by serving those who serve, we can help those who need it.

The Circle K Renaissance
Through the years, we have all experienced art which has helped to develop who we are today.
