From Your DistrictService Chair
Sup everyone! My name is LJ and I am your
District Service Chair for the Carolinas
District (you guys better know this by now
). This semesters District Large Scale
Service Project will be in Lexington, NC at
Kamp Kiwanis and I invite all of you to
come out and help Circle K end this year of
service with a bang! BANG!!! Im glad to
have served as your DS chair and I hope to
see a lot of familiar and new faces in
Lexington. This is a FREE event and will
occur the weekend of March 22-24. Howmuch does this event cost you ask? Damnit I
just said that it was FREE so why you asking
questions?! Look just come out for the
weekend and well have a good time I
promise. Dont be afraid. At every district
event you always get the chance to make
new friends from other schools and perform
service that really does make a difference in
these kids lives. Cant wait to see you all
again and embrace the spirit of Circle K!
For those of you unfamiliar with the event, DLSSP isa project clubs throughout our district collaborate
on once a semester for an entire weekend. We not
only provide service for the organizations like the
Boys and Girls Homes of Lake Waccamaw, but we
also raise money and hold donations throughout
the academic year that directly benefit
organizations like these. We hope youll make time
and join fellow Circle K-ers from March 22-24. But
first, a message from Jimmy Truell about Kamp
Kiwanis where we will be volunteering.

A Message from Jimmy TruellHello everyone!
The Carolinas District came to Kamp Kiwanis in Lexington, N.C. last March 2012 for the
Spring Project and was VERY helpful. We are excited about hosting it again this year.Feel free to look at pictures of last years District Large Scale Service Project on Carolinas
District CKI Facebook.
Kamp Kiwanis is a 3 week summer camp sponsored by Kiwanis of Lexington. We send
over 200 underprivileged children to camp in a rustic setting located in Lexington. The
children are selected by Davidson County Department of Social Services. Children learn
swimming, canoeing, crafts, hygiene, and other health matters. It has been in service
since 1929. It is on a 25 acre tract which is maintained by volunteers like you and
members of Kiwanis. We were grateful for Circle Ks help last year and look forward to it
again this year.
We provide all meals and materials needed for work. We have cabins to sleep in and a
nice bath house and a big dining hall. I promise a great weekend!
Thanks for all you do.

Well first theres service. Second,
you get to make friends from other
schools, cool Kiwanians, and the
awesome District Board! You need a
third reason? All right then. You also
get to chill and participate in fun
group activities, outdoor games,
and bond over card games and
Circle K stories. You want a fourthreason dont you? (okay I already
gave you three but whatever) The
fourth reason to come is because of
the food that is being provided by
Kamp Kiwanis and I can guarantee
its better than what youre served
in college (well I guess that depends
on where you go). You probably
need a fifth reason. Well why not just
come out and help support a great
cause? I mean why not right? Okay
how about this: you come out, you
bring no school work for the weekend
(unless you really want to) and you
get to enjoy the great outdoors.
Something tells me youre greedy
and want another reason. Thatsokay I have plenty. How about you
get to experience Circle K at the
district level and you get to learn
about the various leadership
opportunities that Circle K has. You
can even come to learn more about
the service we do and rack up
service hours for next year. There!
Why come to DLSSP?
Ill tell you why just watch

DLSSP is a great place to get to
know other members from your
own club and clubs from otherschools by completing small
projects and having a little bit of
fun during down time. Being able
to work with other members of
Circle K from different schools
really allowed me to see what a
difference we can make in our
communities, even though last
year I washed the windows of
residence halls. And when all the
work was done, I got to have funwith the children at The Boys &
Girls Homes of Lake Waccamaw by
playing volleyball and soccer. I
encourage all people to go because
its a great experience to get to
know people and see the effects of
what we do first hand.
The fall DLSSP was truly a different kind of service experience for me. Seeing the appreciativefaces of the children that lived there told me that I made the right choice in volunteering to
offer a weekend of service. Hopefully I will go back one day. The Boys & Girls Homes of North
Carolina surely offers a unique service experience for everyone. The work may seem tough at
times, but doing this hard work makes people see how they may have it easy in life and openstheir eyes to the much larger world. It truly is a rewarding experience.
For the past several years Ive worked with the Carolinas Circle K on DLSSP at the Boys & Girls
Homes of North Carolina. You guys have been simply put amazing! All the great things youhave done for BGH to help make a difference to hurting children. Your service means so much
to the Homes and the children served. Andyou guys seem to have so much fun working so
hard! I loved being a part of it. Your energy and enthusiasm was incredible. Thanks Carolinas
CK for making a difference.
