Circle K at Utica College

Circle K at Utica College is well under way for 2011-2012.  The charter paperwork has been completed with over 20 charter members.  The members are very enthusiastic and are working hard on projects and community service as this is published.  At Bingo in September we had 10 Circle K members from Utica College assist with residents.  We look forward to their continued assistance.  Their immediate projects are the inter-generational Clean-Up Oct 22-23, Breast Cancer Bake Sale - Oct 6, Breast Cancer Walk Oct 16, Haunted House for UNICEF, an interview with club members on WPNR radio Oct 16 at 6 PM and of course Bingo on Oct 18th at 6:30 PM at St Luke's Nursing Home.

September Activities

95th Birthday Celebration

On September 14th Members of the Kiwanis Club of Utica and Frank Dardano's family met at the Masonic Home in Utica to celebrate Frank's and the clubs 95th birthdays.  Frank is a lifetime member of the club and served as secretary for many years.  He also served as the Sargent at Arms for meetings - welcoming members to meetings, collecting the fees and 50/50 money as well as keeping attendance records.  He retired to the Masonic Home several years ago, and continues to receive our mailings there.  It was a real treat to see and talk with Frank and to share birthday celebrations. 

19th Annual Kiwanis Charity Golf Tournament

On September 16th the 19th Annual Kiwanis Club of Utica Charity Golf Tournament was held at Hidden Valley Golf Club.  We had a great day with help from the Utica College Golf Team and members of the Utica College Circle K Club.  The ceremonial tee off was done by Rachel Missel, president of Utica College Circle K Club.  Circle K members registered golfers and presented the awards for the winning team, men's and women's longest drive and the closest to the pin for men.  The winning team was the Kids Oneida Team. Our congratulations go out to team members.  

 

Bingo at St Luke's Nursing Home

Once again we have started our monthly Bingo games at St Luke's Nursing Home.  We had over 40 residents participating with 5 Kiwanian's and 10 Circle K members assisting.  We will continue this event on the third Tuesday of each month at 6:30 PM through June (we take off July and August).
