                    Picture
                    UCI Circle K will be hosting a "Tennis" Tournament for Magic Kingdom and Kiwanis family. It will be a great way to relax from midterms, hang out with the best division ever, and play your favorite, or not, game ever.

                    I know this is very last minute, but if you have time for even part of the time, feel free to come.

                    Since we are limited on time, the game that we will be a 6-person, doubles-style, rotation game called "Doo-dah" (Thank you UCI VPS Roland Moder for the idea)

                    Registration will be at 10 AM, there will be time for warm up, and team forming. Each round will be 5 minutes long and the amount of rounds will be depending on how many teams there are.
                    There will be a final round where the winner is selected and after, LUNCH WILL BE SERVED! :)

                    Registration costs will be $4 per player and $3 per spectator. Money will be for lunch and the rest of the money will be donated.

                    Fundraiser - College Football Bowl Pick'em - December 17, 2011

                    Picture
                    _What are the holidays without College Football Bowl Games!   To raise funds for the Eliminate Project, CAYP will have a contest to see who's best at picking college football bowl games. 

                    The 1st Place winner gets $25 iTunes Gift Card and second place gets a $15 iTunes gift card. 

                    No college football knowledge experience.  In fact, the person who won our March Madness tournament didn't know anything about college basketball.  Pick teams based on your alma mater,

                    It’s $8 for members and $10 for non-members.  The proceeds go to support a great cause.  For $1.80, you will save one life.  Register below through WePay.   You have until December 16 to register and fill in your brackets. 

                    With The Eliminate Project, Kiwanis International and UNICEF have joined forces to eliminate maternal and neonatal tetanus. This deadly disease steals the lives of nearly 60,000 innocent babies and a significant number of women each year. The effects of the disease are excruciating — tiny newborns suffer repeated, painful convulsions and extreme sensitivity to light and touch.

                    To eliminate MNT from the Earth by 2015, 129 million mothers and their future babies must be immunized. This requires vaccines, syringes, safe storage, transportation, thousands of skilled staff and more. It will take $110 million — and the dedicated work of UNICEF and every member of the Kiwanis family.
                    -----------------------------  
                    Update: Thank you to everybody who participated in the College Bowl Fundraiser! The winners were 1st Place: Hiral Shah for a $25 iTunes card and 2nd Place: Brad Guske for a $15 iTunes card

                    Service - Step Up Tutoring Program - Children's Institute - Oct 17 - Nov 19, 2011

                    Picture
                    Superstart is a 6 week long program for children in 1st-2nd grade and are behind on their basic skills.  The program works to reinforce those skills in math, reading and arithmetic so that children can be more on level with their peers.  Most of the children in the program come from low-income families where English is not the primary language and therefore have fewer resources than their peers.  The key to this program is the volunteer!  A volunteer will be paired with 1 or 2 children so that the children can receive specialized attention that they won't find in a regular classroom setting.  If you like working with children and engaging them with learning with traditional and non traditional tools -- this is the place for you!

                    Children's Institute, Inc. Otis Booth Campus (2121 W. Temple St., Los Angeles, CA 90026 -- enter through Lake St)
