Eastern New Mexico University

Although we haven’ t done anything with CKI’ s preferred charities recently, we did do a spaghetti dinner last fall to raise money for our club, and part of the profits went to Eliminate. Being our second such dinner, we learned a lot. We learned that a better time is in spring, such as February, rather than November. We also learned that we should push community sales just as much as student ticket sales. The jazz band from ENMU is a big help to us, because live music always brings in more people. We are very excited to take what we have learned previously and apply it in future dinners. Although we haven’ t done anything for our community this summer, we do have several project ideas for the next few weeks that we are trying to get line up, from planting trees around town to helping people clean up their homes. Things are also starting to fall into place for a large fundraiser event soon after the fall semester starts, and we will give more details on that when we get closer to the event.
Our members are excited and ready for officer training on the 20th, and can’ t wait to see our friends from other clubs. We hope everyone is having a great summer!

Be on the lookout for more about Fall Rally in the August issue of the Southwest Sun!
