Hello Empire Division!
My name is Richard Kim and I have recently been appointed as the 2014-2015 New
York District’s Empire Division’s Lieutenant Governor. I will be a graduate student at St.

Paltz. My role as LTG is to act as a liaison for the Empire Division on the District Board as
we make decisions for the district. I also will act as a guide for you and help strengthen
our division!
This is the first edition for the Empire Division for the 2014-2015 service year. I hope that
you all submit articles to appear in the upcoming division newsletters so you can talk
about your experience with CKI!

Meet Your District Governor
Hey there Empire Division,
My name is Renee Girard and I am your District Governor for the 2014-2015 service
year. The Governor’s Project this year is called “Small Hands, Big Future.” It challenges
the Circle K members of the New York District to do service for children. In addition, I
am asking that fall funds raised for the Governor’s Project go to It’s My Heart, an
organization that aids children with congenital heart disease and their families. My
brother has congenital heart disease, so this is a cause very close to me. Additionally, I
hope that through the Governor’s project Circle K clubs will be participate in more
service with their local Kiwanis clubs since Kiwanis’ main focus is helping children.
Please send all donations to:
It’s My Heart Inc.
1304 Langham Creek #235
Houston, Texas 77084
Reporting: Report your funds raised on your MRF

Hi Circle-K’ers!

My main job is to make all the tedious and technical
responsibilities of being a treasurer or even planning a
fundraiser or event MUCH easier! I am working on a
fundraising database that will be color coded
depending on category. For example size of school,
inside or outside, expected people attending, size of
event, etc. Also there will be special sections for bake
sales and administrative funding (which appeals to
fundraising for district events!) They will also be
categorized accordingly. I'm doing this so you don't have
to go through a whole long list of
fundraisers you can't plan. The categories will help
narrow down what you can do or even inspire you to do
something similar that works better for your school! This
database will also be great because anyone can add
on to it and specify which categories it falls under as well
to make it easier for everyone else :) I'm hoping this is
something that can continue to grow and advance as
the service years go on, and that it will be a great help to
many Circle-Ker's :)

As editor, I run the social media accounts such as
Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. Here we post
updates on everything we're doing and events we, the
board, have been to. For example, these accounts are
currently filled with DLSSP information that we've just
finalized. In addition, I work closely with our technology
chair, Jerry, in making sure that every resource we create
is uploaded onto the website. These resources
include officer training packets, newsletters, the
directory (a file with contact information of all officers),
templates, and forms. Following our social media
accounts and subscribing to our emails will keep you the
most updated with district news.
