Club News UWI Mona Circle K
FROM THE
EDITOR’S DESK
Welcome Circle K‟ers, to another edition of the “PELACAN NEWS”, the official news letter of the UWI Mona Circle K Club. I am B.E Jermaine, I would like to welcome you all back to a wonderful semester that is sure to be brimming with hard, but substantial working. Don‟t forget that DCON is around the corner (as if you could really forget DCON lol) but so are Mid-semester Exams. So keep at those books and study hard, and be sure to key yourself active in service in what so ever way you can. Remember that it is through the betterment of ourselves that we better our communities, and as we better our communities don‟t forget to work with each other as we of the UWI Mona Circle K Club, seek to rise to higher heights in the name of “service over self”. Continue to „Live to serve and Love to serve.
On the 6th through to the 20th of February, the first
stage of club elections for the various posts on the club’s
executive body was under way. Those nominated for the
office of Director were Sheldon Lopez, Nakieta Shand, and
Rishan Campbell. The nominees for the office of Bulletin Editor
were Tommy Gooden, Jermaine Flemmings, and Roshane
Robinson. The nominees for the office of Treasurer were
Roshane Robinson and Sashae Symister. The nominees for the
office of Secretary were Anique McKie and Danielle Blake –

On February 23rd, members of the UWI
Mona Circle K Club, alongside their sponsoring
club, The Kiwanis Club of North St. Andrew,
and other Circle K and Builders clubs, ventured
to Down Town Kingston to provide the
homeless of the area with warm meals. On the
day there were over one hundred homeless,
all giving thanks to the Kiwanis group as they
enjoyed the meals provided.
Elections under way !!
On the 28th of February, the UWI Mona Circle K Club set
out on their annual Single Service initiative, where they
when to the August Town Primary school and spent the
day with the kids. On the day the club donated twenty
our Mathematics Text Books to the kids.
Along with donating the text books, the club members
had dialog with 6th grade student who are preparing for
the annual Grade Si Achievement Test (GSAT). They
spoke of their own individual experiences with the exam
and their subsequent matriculation to their respective
high schools.
After their talk the club members and the kids engaged
in various activities such as basketball track, did some
math.

On February 27th the UWI Mona Circle K Club had its
board officer elections. The new board members are as
follows. In the post of Director of Service, we have Nakieta
Shand. In the post of Bulletin Editor we have Tommy
Gooden. In the post of Secretary we have Anique Mckie.
And finally we come to the main event. The battle for
presidency between Shawn Martin, Jermaine Flemmings,
Krystal Williams and Roshane Robinson was indeed a fierce
one; with each candidate displaying convincing speeches,
each vote would turn the tides. But in the end it was Shawn
Martin who came out victorious, with Krystal Williams and
Roshane Robinson taking 1st and 2nd vice president
respectively.

Special Feature UWI Mona Circle K
Let us introduce to you Roshane Robinson, one of the most
innovative, involved, creative, dedicated and energetic
members of the UWI Mona Circle K Club. Roshane is a first year
undergrad student at The University of West Indies - Mona
Campus, where he majors in Software Engineering and minors
in Biology, his hobbies according to him include “Tweeting,
Graphic Designing, Coding and Kiwinas”. Though still a young
member, having only started university in September of 2013,
he is as active and energetic as a 2nd or 3er year member. His
outstanding personality and love for the Kiwanis family is that
of a topnotch Circle K’er.
As Co-Games Chair, on a weekly or bi-weekly basis, you’ll find Roshane taking charge of the
activities segment of our meetings, his activities are always fun and always gets the entire club
involved and energized. Here you can see him leading a game of “Detangle” and “Encore”.
Since the beginning of his journey in the UWI Mona Circle K, he has been an ever present figure
at meetings where his passion and potential became clear. He gets involved and provides help
wherever and whenever he can. After just a couple of weeks he took the position of Co-
Chairperson for games and activities, and in the following weeks was appointed as Chairperson
of fundraising. During meetings at some point you will see him at the front, leading and vibing
with club members, always knowing the right things to do and so to get them involved in various
activities. His energy, in my opinion, is a major factor in what keeps persons coming back week
after week.

When asked why he joined Circle K, his answer was , “ Well I started out being a shun out for
builders club and it wasn’t going to happen again, I was forced into Kiwanis but after arriving I
never saw the point in leaving; the people, the service, the experience, it’s all truly great .”
We then asked what his favorite thing about Kiwanis was, and he replied “ICON, the whole feel
of knowing that you’re a part of an international organization, leaving a foot print on the earth
that years from now historians will find and place in a museum somewhere.”
Roshane is not only actively involved in his home club; he was also an integral part of the
organization of the Kiwanis R.I.O Fun-Day. This event, being the first of its kind, brought together all
levels of the Kiwanis family together at the same event. Along with all this, after displaying his skills
in design, he became the chief designer of the shirts which were provided at this year’s District
Leadership Fall Conference (DLFC).
As Fundraising Chair, Roshane has displayed innovative and creative means of thinking, and he
has provided new fundraising ideas. Rather than the mundane Bake Sale, that you would find
other club on campus participating, he has an ever expanding and out of the ordinary list of
fundraising idea. However, because of the limited time he was in office, he was not able to carry
out many of them. He is still young in the club and we are sure we will see these ideas come to
life in the near future.

Not only is he dedicated to Circle K, but the Kiwanis family as a whole. You will often find
Roshane acting as the guest speaker at meetings, installations, and social events of various Key
clubs in the corporate area. He believes that it is important to build a strong bond between the
two groups and the best way to do that is to be actively involved in whatever they are involved
in. There are those who are aid to never truly leave Key club, and although he has moved on to
join Circle K, Roshane seems to be one such individual.
He works co-operatively with each and every member
on the club executive board, attends board meetings
and other club and district events, here you see him
participating in a ginger beer drinking contest at
District Leadership Fall Conference alongside
International Trustee for the Caribbean District Stefan
Ludlow.
All in all, not only has he contributed to Circle K, but he also gives back to Key Club by visiting
Key Club events, advising his high school alumni’s club in various affairs, and has been guest
speaker at key club special meetings. His passion for Kiwanis, for service, for student leadership
is second to none. This was recognized by the club as a whole, and after his first year in the
club, he was nominated for the position of President, and was subsequently awarded the title of
2nd Vice President. With his unwavering passion and commitment to the Kiwanis family, he is a
true Circle K’er, and we are happy to say that we believe that he deserves to be called the
Circle K’er of the year.
