Letter from the Editor Hello Mighty New York District, Welcome to the February issue of Circling the Empire. This month, Circle K International is pairing up Valentine’s Day and ELIMINATE to create: “Show your love. Share your love.” If you haven’t started the District event on Facebook, do it now! I wish everyone the best in their classes and here’s to a great spring semester. I will be publishing another newsletter next month! Yours in Service, Leadership, and Fellowship, Holy Cheong 2014-2015 New York District Bulletin Editor holy.cheong@nycirclek.org
Circle K International pairs the love holiday (Valentine’s Day) with a life-giving mission (The Eliminate Project). The result? “Show Your Love, Save A Life.”
Join the New York District in our event. For more information on how to start daring and sharing our page: https://secure.qgiv.com/hobnob/team/450312
