Exploring
Paradise
in
Hawaii

From September 21-23, the Paradise Divisional
Board along with the District Governor paid a visit
to Hilo, Hawaii to bond and check in with Circle K
at the University of Hawaii at Hilo.
Throughout these 3 days, the group got to meet
with many of the members of the club as well as
the local Kiwanis Family. Activities included going
to many local points of interest such as Mauna
Loa Macadamia Nut Factory, Kuhio Grille (Home
of the 1-Pound Laulau) as well as a Kiwanis family
service project at the local YMCA. The group also
got a private lesson in the Hawaiian Language
and the beautiful art of Hula.
Towards the end of their visit, they attended a
Disney and Development Social held by the Circle
K at UH-Hilo. There they participated in skits, singing and group activities.
The club greeted the Divisional Board with open
arms and at the end of the visit, accepted them
into our extended ‘Ohana (family). UH-Hilo hopes
that many more visits will be made in the future
and encourage members from other Circle K clubs
to pay Hawaii a visit! Until next time, A hui hou!
Summer’s Over?! End of the Summer Bonfire
Lany Dao

Four months of summer seems
like a long time. As June, July, and
August slowly creep by us, September rolls around almost as if out of
nowhere, and we’re dreading the
day our classes start. In order to
make the good bye to summer a
little less sad, we hosted an End of
Summer Bonfire!
Ronnie and I camped out at Corona Del Mar at 10 AM in order to save
a prime spot at the fire pits! As the
sun grew higher and the day became
hotter, it was proving to be a perfect
day for the beach! There were plenty
of old and new members that joined
us at the beach, and everyone had a
good time whether they were playing in the water, making sand alligators, playing Monopoly Deal, or even
taking pictures at our outdoor photo
booth (courtesy of Alan Chung from
OCC!) The best part was definitely
that members from OCC, Chapman,
and IVC came to celebrate the last
Friday of summer with us!
After the sun set, everyone sat
around cooking hot dogs and
s’mores, basking in the cool summer night, making new friends! The
bonfire proved to be a successful
event and I hope to see more members come out to our other socials as
well!
