Welcome to the spring semester Empire! I hope you are all having a great semester so far and you have at least one “fun” class to look forward to each week. I’m taking a South Asian music course and it’s quite interesting- like no other class I’ve taken before. If you are taking all very difficult and “boring” classes- I am sorry to hear that. However, remember that you do have CKI as your “escape” so take advantage of all that is going on in the Circle K world. I also hope that you’re all as excited as I am for our District Convention in just ONE month! The hotel DCON is held at has been renovated so there’s a bonus for us. In this newsletter you will find lots of information on upcoming events and updates within the division. There is only one and a half months until the end of the service year so let’s make it the best month and half. Challenge yourself and your club and surprise yourselves. You can accomplish so much.

Congratulations to Bridgette Garcia on being elected
as the 2013-2014 Empire Division Lieutenant Governor!
Empire Holiday Social for KPLD was such a
great time. It brought together so many
different people from all over NYCKI and
NJCKI. We went ice skating, got soup
dumplings at Joe’s Shangahi, got bubble
tea and ice cream. To top it all off,
together, we raised $85 for KPLD!
We have TWO divisional meetings in March:
Monday 3/11 – Vaughn College
Friday 3/29 – Sentosa Malaysian Restaurant
5:45PM for both meetings, don’t miss out for the final

Club Updates! (1) Generally I have chosen a service spotlight, two or three but since the last Empire newsletter in December, so much has happened and I simply cannot decide on just one, two or three. Empire, you have done so many impressive things and I would like to congratulate you on everything.
Vaughn College and QCCKI… Both clubs took advantage of Valentine’s Day in order to fundraise for District Convention. Vaughn College held a “date with a Circle K-er” auction and raised $200! Queens College raised $111 through rose sale deliveries and their bake sale.
