2001-02 Governors and District Projects
This year's Governor's Project will be focusing on the promotion of literacy. This is a project that can be carried on at both the club and district level. There are many ways that your club can participate in this program. Clubs can establish a Read-and-Lead Program at a local school(for more information, go to www.readandlead.com). Clubs can also promote literacy by holding book drives at or by volunteering to read to children at a local library. These are just some of the ways that your club can participate- as always feel free to come up with your own service projects.
This year's District project is the Make A Wish Foundation. The Make A Wish Foundation grants the wishes to children under the age of 18 with life threatening illnesses. It is the largest wish-granting organization in the world. There are many ways that Circle K clubs can help this organization. Fundraising is one way that we can help. If your club fundraises, make sure you report it to the NY District so your club gets credit for it. You can also help the Make A Wish Foundation in non monetary ways by helping them in the offices, with public relations, special events and more. For more information, you can call (516)944-6212 or (631)348-9474.
