Events

In April, RIT Circle K worked on a multitude of projects. These are expressed

in the following pages.

Heart Walk Tabling:

Our members helped collect donations to support the American Heart society.

Also this month RIT’s Team Tiger walked to further support the association

and its research on cardiac related heath issues and concerns.

RIT Open House Tabling:

Members of club manned our own table at RIT’s Open House for ac-

cepted students. We showed off our new club websites, posters and

we expressed what our club does. Thank you to the members who

helped encourage new students to consider RIT Circle K!

EVENTS

BE THE MATCH Tabling:

Members of club helped out support a Bone Marrow drive by

tabling in the SAU. This year we continued to grow the amount of

those interested in being a match to individuals who need bone

marrow transplants. In a similar way to blood drives, participants if

matched to needy individuals, can transfer bone marrow cells and

help save lives!

EVENTS

Relay For Life:

This year to support Breast Cancer awareness and to help fund and

support research into this area. This year, had a superhero team

theme. Our team the RIT Circle K Minions dressed up and walked to

support the American cancer society.

EVENTS

IMAGINE RIT (MAY first 2015)

Since this was one of the events this weekend, it was one of our last

big events, and many of our members participated, I am including

this event in this last newsletter for the year. Imagine RIT is a festi-

val showcasing the creativity and innovative projects of students

campus wide. RIT circle K helped out in general volunteering, by

doing general work. Some of our members even got to be Ritchie,

our tiger mascot! The event was really enjoyable and we helped out

quite a bit! Here are some photos of us and the projects!

FUN!

Enjoy for this month the images that Lindsay our secretary has

been sending as part of the meeting minutes!

This month, we wanted to spotlight two members who

joined us late towards the end of the service year. Despite not having being part of club, Anthony

Copeland and Tim Preskenis Have been very active in our recent events, and have wholeheartedly supported

the club. We are proud to have them as active and lively members of RIT Circle K!
