THE ELIMINATE PROJECT
In the time that this Google group has existed, the fundraising committee of UC Berkeley Circle K, chaired by Fundraising Chair Grace Go, has not received proper recognition for their project to raise $1,000 for UNICEF's Eliminate Project through a YouTube video they created. Check out the video here! Though they did not win the contest, they definitely succeed in spreading awareness about material neonatal tetanus all over the District and throughout the virtual world through their video. Keep it up, UC Berkeley!
(Maybe you'll think about making this project for your own club in the upcoming year!)
NOT FOR SALE
Are you a fan of Clara Chung or Boyce Avenue? Don't miss out on the Not For Sale Benefit Concert taking place on March 21st @ 7:00pm at the Avalon Theater in Hollywood! Yes, this is during finals for quarter-system schools, but take a study break if you can! Share this promotional video with your club, and click here for more information!
If you don't go, think about holding a benefit concert of your own. (It's always REALLY cool when YouTube stars help to raise money for charity, especially when it happens to be one of our DFIs!) THINK BIG, and plan ahead for next year! (;
PEDIATRIC TRAUMA PROGRAM
If you went to DLSSP North or South, you may have gotten a change to make PTP dolls. In fact, if you GOOGLE "PTP dolls," you'll see links and news about several CNH Circle K clubs who have created PTP dolls for local hospitals. Click here to find out how to make them!
What are PTP dolls? Here is a heartfelt-written excerpt from a PTP brochure that was previous sent out through this Google group:
"The enclosed doll is a gift for your child to keep. We hope this doll helps your child feel more comfortable with their hospital stay. Help your child color a face on the doll so it looks like him or her. Encourage your child to draw an expression on the face that reflects how he or she feels. Then, have your child draw the injury or pain that he or she feels. This can help your child manage the anxiety of being sick or hurt. When the nurses and doctors examine your child, they may use this doll to discuss the injury or illness. They may also use the doll to demonstrate any medical procedures your child needs, so your child will understand what will happen next. The Kiwanis Cal‐Nev‐Ha Foundation has provided this doll as a service to your hospital and the community. Students from our Service Leadership Programs, as well as Kiwanis members and their families, sew, stuff and assemble the dolls by hand."

"The brick walls are there for a reason. The brick walls are not there to keep us out; the brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something. The brick walls are there to stop the people who don't want it badly enough." ~ Randy Pausch, "The Last Lecture"
