My Kiwanis Convention - Part 2 Hi! So long since I updated you all ... we are in the crazy part of our terms, with new members, our awesome fall events, and so much more! But a promise is a promise ... Day 2 The coolest part, at least for me, about Kiwanis Convention is that we have a chance to take money from Kiwanians. Literally. Our supply sales that we host give us an opportunity to sell Kiwanis merchandise. From truck hitches to ties and blazers, we receive 10% of all of the money made, usually resulting in about 1,000 bucks in funding for our events, and special events we wish to attend for you guys! This year was a bit slower than usual. Blame that on location, not on us. But there was some bright moments from this. We are in the middle of a fierce competition with the rest of Circle K International selling pins. Yes pins. The UNICEF Six Cents Initiative pins. They are on sale for $3, with all money going to the Six Cents Initiative. We started with 200 pins on Friday. By Saturday afternoon, there were all gone. ALL gone. With that, we catapulted into the International lead. Not to worry, everyone. Your District Treasurer just received 100 more. Let's get those sold in record time as well! Kiwanis Convention will definitely be a culture shock when you go to their banquets. Rather than having cheer competitions or things loud like that, you are going to see a jazz band play, and as an SLP member, Kiwanians letting you know about the new club they want to start up. It's not that bad, really. The jazz band wasn't half bad. The other Governors and I kept busy trying to make the Kiwanians say slang words, such as, "fasho" and "lawl". It was pretty fun. Throughout the convention, Circle K members were volunteering at various service projects, and meeting Kiwanians. It's always good to see that Kiwanians are beginning to see the faces of Circle K'ers more and more. This is why we are seeing such a positive growth every year now in CKI. At night, the other Governors and I had the opportunity to attend the Kiwanis Governor-Elect's installation dinner. He had a bounce house, a wheelchair racetrack, and a gladiator ring. I got to knock him out a couple of times, but unfortunately another bigger guy knocked me out a few minutes later. It was still a ton of fun. Day 3 to come! <3 posted by Chris Plasterer at 1:14 PM
