SACRAMENTO HOMELESS
By Erika Mettke

On May 21, 2011 I had the opportunity to volunteer at
Homeless Connect in Sacramento. My job was to assist the home-
less to the Housing Stations that was provided for them. It felt
good to see many of the homeless get temporary or permanent
housing. Many of the homeless walked out of Housing Station
with a big smile on their face. I received so many words of appre-
ciation that I felt like I was making a huge difference. To me this
was one of the most meaningful service projects I have participat-
ed in. I felt I was improving so many lives and was able to reach
out to the homeless and give them hope.

District summer service social (dsss)
By Kristen VanCitters, Cynthia Uba, and Christine Bonuel

your favorite part(s)
of dsss?
My favorite part about DSSS was meeting a ton of new Circle
K'ers! We rarely get to see the southern schools at events, pretty
much only at FTC and DCON, so meeting all of them was awesome!
DSSS was filled with opportunity to bond with other members over
service projects, laser tag, workshops, board games, and so much
more. We represented Nevada and Capital well and everyone was
very impressed that we made the trek down to So Cal!

We woke up pretty early on Saturday and all headed out
to an awesome service event, where we helped clear the path
leading to a preserve. This event demonstrated how amazing
at teamwork Circle K‟ers can really be. The most memorable
part of this day for me was presenting a workshop; it was
about being healthy and being a hardworking member of Cir-
cle K. It had a great turnout, people loved it! DSSS is one of my
favorite events ever.

My favorite part of DSSS was all of the social aspects of it.
One day we did a photo scavenger hunt at the Fashion Valley Mall.
My team, „Team Woo!”, won the first part of the challenge, but we
were unable to complete the second part: finding our District Gov.
Brett Butler who was hiding somewhere in the mall. Another one
of my favorite parts? Singing “I‟ll Make a Man out of You” to pass
the time during the service project in the Mission Valley Preserve.
The most shocking thing that happened, though? My ranking 3rd
out of 39 Circle K‟ers in laser tag, haha! It was lots of fun; I‟m
looking forward to our next district event!

things to be in our favor. We also have some awesome dance moves that
can literally shake a setting. Most of all, we can have fun regardless of
