Santa's Gift of Service 

This weekend is a very special event hosted by Sac State Circle K, Santa’s Gift of Service! This event is free of admission but there will be fundraisers hosted throughout. I encourage anyone who’s able to attend to register and check out all the service projects and opportunities. An ERF is required to attend as a Key Clubber! Presidents, please email me the completed ERF if your club is planning on attending.

SGS is a day full of service featuring several service projects geared towards Circle K's District Service Initiative (DSI), where our Kiwanis Family will work together to benefit the community as a whole. We will have projects such as making candy sleighs, decorating ornaments and stockings, and creating mini holiday wreaths. There will also be one workshop station dedicated to fellowship! Similar to last year's Gift of Giving, this event is geared towards Circle K's District Service Initiative; this term, their DSI is Helping Those With Disabilities.

All gifts and goodies made during the event will be donated and delivered to the United Cerebral Palsy of Sacramento and Northern California, an organization that serves hundreds of adults and children affected by developmental disabilities.
