Late Night
Service: (2 hours, many
members)
Once every semester
we host this fun mix of service and social activities. We gather on a
Saturday night in a lounge in one of the residence halls on campus to make cards
for overseas soldiers and sick children, and make sandwiches for the Trenton
Area Soup Kitchen. It is a great way to do service and make some new
Circle K friends!
Light The Night
Walk: (6 hour shifts, many members)
This yearly walk
held by the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of NJ is just one of the ways we help
out with this fantastic organization. We help out with everything from
setting up in the beginning of the day to guiding walkers to the finish line at
the end of the walk. The walk helps to raise valuable funds for awareness
and research about lymphoma and leukemia.
