Hey Sub-region C!
I will be at the April CKI Board Meeting from TODAY until Sunday. If you want me to bring anything up, please shoot me an e-mail as JJSCKI@gmail.com and I will make sure that everything is covered. I'm not shy when it comes to speaking up, even if it does get me into trouble sometimes :o).
Hope to hear from some of you!
Have a great weekend and I hope your Easters were fruitful with chocolate eggs!

I was the Easter Bunny
Hey guys!
So I just got back from a nursing home and I was their Easter Bunny! This is the second year that we have done this where an organization on campus hosts an Easter egg hunt where I am the Easter Bunny and then for doing that, I get to borrow the costume for the nursing home. So, keep in mind that you can always collaborate with organizations like this example to make both events go over great!

In CKI news:
- The newly elected governors are in Indianapolis, IN for their Governors & Administrators Training Conference (GATC) and they will be back to share with you all of the great things they learned!
- The next International Board meeting will be held on April 16-20th. This is a time where all of the International board members come together and discuss the organization and how we can make it better. Please let me know your thoughts on it!
A great service project!
Well today was our co-service project with Alpha Phi Omega, a co-ed service fraternity! We had chapter members from Illinois College and Illinois State University show up and we got a LOT accomplished. One chalkboard is demolished, the walls are completely white, one door has one coat of paint, one coat of paint has been applied for the logo, and plenty more ideas are flowing for what the final look of the room will be like!We had 4 ISU APO members, ~6 IC APO members, and 7 IC CKI members. These were not the numbers we were told when we were planning projects, but we still got a lot accomplished.
This goes right back to the love that CKI has for helping the children in our community. I hear great things about reading days, carnivals, safety checks, and dressing like the Easter bunny and I just think, "What would the children (or the community) be like without CKI?" Think about it and the impacts you make on children. Think...... think..... wow. All of those service experiences that you had wouldn't have happened with you... OR that child. Where would that child be right now? Makes you think... makes you wonder... makes you want to do a service project, right?

Happy April!
Hey Sub-region C!
It's now officially April 1st, which means that the 2008-09 boards are done and the 2009-10 boards are just getting started! Please keep in mind between now and the end of school, this is a transition time where the "newbies" should get help from the "Immediate Pasts" or "IPs." Nothing is scarier than doing something that you don't know exactly what to do, so help them out. If you had a great year, make sure they know your success strategies. If you can see ways of improvement, let them know too!
New officers bring about new ideas and change and that's what we strive in CKI for... moving forward!
I went to my district's District Convention and it was great! Great leadership was elected and new ideas were set in place. I have heard great things about other District Conventions and I am sure that Beth, Becky, Kacy, Kenzie, and Amber will do a GREAT job!
Until next time! Let me know if you need anything... PS- Florida was GREAT!
