Bryan Dunn, one of the founding members of Circle K at
the University of Tennessee, Knoxville and 2005-2006 Secretary-Treasurer
and the 2006-2007 Bulletin Editor of the Kentucky-Tennessee District
of Circle K International was inducted into the Carthage-Pullman
Society. Dunn was given this surprize membership by the Kiwanis
Club of Knoxville. Pictured here are (l. to r.) Michelle "Chelle"
Hatmaker, Governor of the K-T Districe, Bryan Dunn,
and Ashley Cruz, President of Circle K at the University
of Tennessee, Knoxville.
The Carthage-Pullman Society was created in honor of Carthage College, the campus where Circle K began, and the Kiwanis Club of Pullman, Washington, which helped build the concept of a campus service club. The Carthage-Pullman Society is presented to recognize individuals who have contributed unselfishly to the Circle K program. Their time, efforts, and financial resources have helped provide a quality Circle K experience to many students. The Carthage-Pullman Society offers the opportunity to express appreciation for such support.
Membership in the Carthage-Pullman Society is available by making a $250 contribution to Circle K International. The donations assist in funding the endowment within the Kiwanis International Foundation. The interest from this endowment is used to provide Circle K club and district grants in support of service efforts in their communities. To learn more about the service efforts that are supported by the Tomorrow Fund you may visit the following web site: http://www.circlek.org/circlek/service/tomorrowfund.asp
Each year at the Circle K International convention, a Tomorrow Fund reception recognizes Society members, as well as other contributors to the Sapphire Circle Honorary and the Tomorrow Fund.
New Carthage-Pullman Society members receive a medallion hanging from a blue and white ribbon, a lapel pin, and a recognition plaque.

Now: I would suggest doing this up to one week before Halloween. For more information: http://www.unicefusa.org/site/pp.asp?c=duLRI8O0H&b=25954 Get collection boxes (be sure to get the ones marked Key Club) and educational materials needed. I'd also reccommend scheduling a visit to your sponsoring Kiwanis' meeting all dressed up to Trick-or-Treat them as well as to educate them beforehand.  Please take pictures for articles! I'd love to feature them in my newsletter as well as the District Bulletin! |

"Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF is more than a fundraising program. For many children, it's their first introduction to philanthropy and the needs of their peers in places far away. It is wonderful to know that I can be a part of that moment." Clay Aiken, 2005 Spokesperson |

Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF, a 55-year Halloween tradition beloved by generations, is one of America's longest-running youth volunteer activities.
Kid-powered and mom-approved, Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF enables kids to raise funds that help save and improve the lives of their most vulnerable peers around the globe. That's why UNICEF's youngest volunteers are true world heroes!
Penny by penny, millions of American kids, schools, parents and partner organizations involved in Trick-or-Treat have raised more than $127 million to support UNICEF, the United Nations Children's Fund. Not bad for a campaign that began with 15 Philadelphia kids collecting a grand total of $17 back in 1950.
Last Halloween season, Trick-or-Treaters collected nearly $5 million for UNICEF, a new record. But these kids know that UNICEF needs them for more than just one night or even one month each year. After the tsunami disaster struck South Asia on December 26, 2004, many children came together to collect another $10 million for UNICEF's tsunami relief efforts.
