Behind the Scenes of the Bling
How to pay for the Bling: Financing Your Trip
There are many things you need to prepare before August. Now, you need to begin seeking financial support from your Kiwanis Club and home club. Fees for registration and hotel (4 person occupancy) are around $300 plus your transportation costs. We suggest using the 1/3 plan if your clubs are able to – the Kiwanis Club pays one third, your Circle K pays one third, and the member pays the remainder. Ask nicely and ask soon!
Bling on the Go: Transportation
For those interested in making a road trip out of this, we will try to arrange carpools and will set up fun pit stops along the way. If you plan on flying, book now to save money! Southwest flies into Denver, and there are also discount codes for Circle K if you use American Airlines, Frontier Airlines, or Continental Airlines. Check out http://circlek.org/lit/download.asp?id=554 for the codes.
Blinging it Up!
The required District Spirit VIP pack includes: 1 Bling T-shirt, 1 trophy necklace, 1 pair sunglasses, 1 noisemaker, 2 bling rings, and 5 trade-able and Sunny pins.
So now that you're in the know, get ready to go! Look for more information of things to come! Until then, watch those deadlines and let me know if you have ANY questions!
