Circle K

Circle K has been a wonderful experience for me at Muskingum University. I love volunteering, and Circle K was a perfect match for me. Muskingum University might be a small University but it has the most Circle K members. I do a lot of clubs and activities at Muskingum but this club is one of my favorites. I can enjoy what I like to do, help others out, make friends, and be active. I did a lot of volunteering in Middle school and High school, and I wanted to continue volunteering. One of the volunteering experiences I enjoy most that we do multiple times each year is going to the Beckett house. The Beckett house is a retirement home. We go there and just hang out and play with the old folks. I have a blast, and I made a new friend in Jason. Circle K does a lot of other fun volunteering projects including walking dogs at the Guernsey Animal Shelter, clean up campus, and raking leaves. I have actually put my two cents in about what I think we should do and Chelsea, the president, thought it was a great idea. We did an Epilepsy Awareness day for the first year. As a person with epilepsy and knowing how serious it is, I feel like this was something that needed to come out.  Also, November is Epilepsy Awareness Month so I felt like if we were going to raise Epilepsy Awareness, this was a month we were going to do it. We handed out lavender ribbons, the color of epilepsy awareness and a little baggie filled with facts about epilepsy and a couple of other things. It was such a wonderful time and I hope we continue it. Christ’s kitchen is another one of those fun things we do where we volunteer and help the less fortunate. It is a fun thing to do serving people and helping out.  We work with the Kawanians, another club, and we have cookout with them. We grow closer with them and as a club. They give us money to pay off our fees and give us money to do some of our volunteering activities. Over the years, we have grown in numbers as a club, and we have also grown closer as a club. We hang out more together, eating dinner together as a club, and movie night as a group. It is a club that I hope to do more with now and in the future.
