Governor

In this issue:

My name is Brittany Horton, and I am the newly elected Georgia Circle K Governor for the 2013-2014 year.

To tell a little bit about myself, I am a senior pursuing a Bachelors of Science degree in Information Technology with a concentration in Information Systems from Georgia Southern University. In 2011, I graduated East Georgia State College with my Associate of Arts degree in General Studies.

I have been a proud member of Circle K for the past five years and served four of those as a member of the GA CKI District Board. Now as District Governor, it is an honor and privilege to continue to serve the state of Georgia while promoting leadership, fellowship, and service as the premiere collegiate service organization in the world. If you ever need me for any reason, whether it be club visits, service projects, or just fellowship and fun, feel free to email me at governor@georgiacirclek.org. I am grateful for this opportunity to serve your clubs, and I look forward to a wonderful year in Georgia CKI! ď‚œ Brittany Horton

Treasurer My name is Virginia Byrd, and I am the newly elected District Treasurer and the District Convention Chair. I am a sophomore at Georgia Southern University majoring in Accounting and minoring in Information System. I am also a member of multiple Honor Societies and Leadership Organizations.

During this year, I hope to have each and every club as paid clubs. Dues are an essential part to the operation of our organization. With your help, I have no doubt that we can accomplish this goal! If you ever need to reach me, please email me at treasurer@georgiacirclek.org or dcon@georgiacirclek.org. I look forward to working with all of the Treasurers during this year and I hope to see you at District Convention!  Virginia Byrd

Bulletin Editor My name is Shannon Weaver, and I am your District Bulletin Editor! I hope that you are as excited as I am for another year together in service!

I am currently a senior communication major (media concentration) at Young Harris College with a minor in art. As an artist, I specialize in photography but can frequently be found doodling or experimenting with graphic design. In communication, I am interested in news media and popular culture. After I graduate, I hope to become a photojournalist. In addition to Circle K, I serve as an editor for the Enotah Echoes, the Young Harris College student newspaper, and am involved in many student organizations including Student Government Association, Underground bible study, and photography club.

I love Circle K, because for me, it presents the greatest opportunity to make a difference in the community and in the world. My favorite service project is anything for ELIMINATE because so much can be done to help people with so little—as little as $1.80. I’ve made some of my best friends in Circle K and had the tremendous blessing to watch it change lives—including mine—for the better. I look forward to serving with all of you, my CKI family, in the upcoming year!  Shannon Weaver

Virginia Byrd has done a fantastic job as District Treasurer and DCON Chair, and it’s just the beginning of the CKI year!

After helping with our Spring SST, she began designing our District Convention, made up a wonderful district budget, created 2 new district newsletters, and is now helping to plan and make a budget for our Fall SST! Victoria Byrd is an amazing Service and K-Family Chair. She has made up and sent in several articles describing our district’s service projects, helped promote CKI Service Week with newsletters emails, almost finished the K-Family Directory, proposed our new district service initiative called HOME (Helping Others, Motivating Everyone) and is now helping plan a Playground Project for our Fall SST!  Governor Brittany Horton
