Happy New Year Service Stars,

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season and an exciting new year! For those of you back in classes or work, I am busy right along with you. In fact I will be on a service trip out of the country from the 7th-14th so I want to let you know now that I will be unavailable during that week and all questions you have for me should be directed to your LTGs until I return.

Your MRFs are still due this weekend, even if they are blank! If you have issues with submission, send me an email with your MRF and I will confirm with you after I return.

📝 Getting Personal 👦🏼

Each month I will include a small section about service, volunteerism, and social impact in my own life and/or with my home club. I firmly believe sharing these parts of our lives is the best way to promote stronger and more engaging involvement with our community. You can feel free to skip over this if you are in a rush, but be sure to use the buttons below to add me on social media so I can see what you are up to as well!

When I first moved to New York for college, some of the first friends I made were through Circle K. At a school like NYU it can be difficult to find a solid friend group, and so I was lucky that I jumped right into CKI. During the holiday season we often take the time to meet with old friends and catch up, but I think it is also a great opportunity to be with fellow Circle Kers and foster your friendship outside of the club. Make a new best friend!

Resources 🗂

As we enter the new semester I want to remind everyone about the resources available to you. We have templates for everything from attendance to minutes, agendas to service hour tracking. There is also a wealth of info on how to navigate the MRF for any questions you might have each month. Of course I am available to help as well.

Monthly Report Form 🗓

One of your monthly duties as a club secretary is to submit a Monthly Report Form (MRF) to the district. This form will include data about your club meetings, service, and social events, the service hours your members log, and the funds you raise. Each 7th of the month, you will submit an MRF for the previous month through an online uploader. This form is available on the district website along with the submission uploader. There have been several changes to the MRF form and submission process since the beginning of the year so please download the newest version! Please also note that detailed instructions for each section of the form have been added to the website. The next MRF will be due January 7th.

📱 Facebook Secretary Group 💬

Please join our Secretaries Facebook Group where I will be posting quick updates and reminders throughout the year that can help me cut down the amount of emails I need to send out. It will also be a great way to get to know your counterparts throughout the district. 🤓

That's all for now - please be in touch with anything,
Jack

PS. as a reward for reading the whole email here are some sick moves, performed by Gov. Cimo
