Circle K International, an Auburn University Montgomery student club, is starting up again after being in limbo for several months. This collegiate service group is affiliated with the Kiwanis organization and teaches college students about leadership, service to the community, and fellowship.
The AUM chapter will engage in various activities such as tutoring children who are not performing well in school, conducting book drives for children at the Brantwood Children's Home, arranging food drives for the benefit of the needy, and more rewarding activities. The organization, which exists on 525 college campuses around the world, is designed to serve various groups of people, particularly children.
The student-run group would also be happy to work in conjunction with other clubs. In 2006, the club represented AUM well by winning several awards at the state level, including the single service project award and recognition as a newly charted club.
The AUM chapter has been in limbo since the previous club president graduated in December 2006, but AUM student Courtney Tillery has decided to revive the club. AUM Circle K Faculty Sponsors, Professors Eric Sterling and Samantha Harvey, welcome Tillery's enthusiasm about the organization and the service it will provide to the campus and the community; however, she needs new members in order to reactivate the club and make it beneficial to those in need in Montgomery and the surrounding areas.
If you would like to be a member of the club, please contact Courtney Tillery at ctiller1@student.aum.edu for information about how to get involved.-- Ashley M. Wright
