Goals
Heart of Service Heart of Service
All of our members in CKI hold service to our community and the world at the forefront. Service is a big part of all of our member’s lives and they all make an effort to have a positive impact on their community.
This spring semester, our club has done 273 hours of service. We have made dog bandanas, colored pictures for Color-A-Smile, cleaned our campus, and fundraised for UNICEF Brick x Brick. Our Lemonade Stand was a huge success and allowed us to raise $182.13 for UNICEF!
Through each of these projects, our members have truly exemplified the heart of service with the amount of care and effort they put into each project.
We have also been able to do some service with other CKI clubs in our Ohio District. At DCON, we sorted clothes at Goodwill, and at SpOT, we made packages for Bottoms Up. Some of our members also attended service projects held by the Shawnee State University and Ohio Wesleyan University Circle K clubs.
Outside of service, our members have also been able to bond through fun socials. We had a fun night listening to music at the Piano Bar and attending a hockey game with the Circle K Alumni Society! These events have helped our members bond and strengthen our heart of service! We are extremely grateful to the OSU Circle K Alumni Society and University Kiwanis for all of their support with events and club meetings! Our club would not be able to help our community in the same capacity without their help! And of course, our club wouldn’t be anything without our wonderful and dedicated members!

Message from...
My name is Neha Pasupuleti and I am so excited to serve as Governor of the Ohio District of Circle K International! If we haven’t already met, I’m a freshman at OSU studying business operations management and public health. I grew up in Dayton, Ohio, where I was an active member of the Dayton STEM Key Club, and had the opportunity to serve as Division 4 Lt. Governor and Secretary-Treasurer for the Ohio District of Key Club. As governor, I’m here to support each of you as part of our organization, so please reach out if you’re looking to get more involved!
As governor, I have the opportunity to work with 13 CKI clubs across the state of Ohio, which forms our district. The Ohio District was formed in 1958 with 10 clubs and OSU is the only club that has maintained its charter since the beginning! GO BUCKEYES! We are currently in the process of strengthening our regional campus clubs at OSU-Lima and OSU-Newark. We are currently working on rebuilding clubs at Terra State University, the University of Dayton, and Central State University, so we’re very excited to bring CKI to more campuses around Ohio next year. My campaign was centered around GROWTH and I hope to see OSU’s Circle K club reach new heights in membership, involvement, and leadership this year!
Thank you all for being a part of this organization. It’s because of our members that we are the MIGHTY Ohio District of Circle K International. I look forward to serving with you all soon! It’s going to be a great year!
Yours in Service,
Neha Pasupuleti

It was so fun to piece the fun moments of the year into a pretty scrapbook!
