Members play cards, provide refreshments and bring music to brighten residents' days. To volunteer with CHOM, members go through a training program and then report to do assigned work. Tutors from Circle K go to the Genesis House during the school year to help with the boys' studies. Circle K provides regular help at RISE to work with the children. At the YMCA, Circle K members work with swimming programs and the after-school program and tutor children.
Members visit nursing home residents on a weekly basis during the school year.
Activity with each project varies from year to year with membership levels in the club and interests of the members in the club. Club adviser David Womack said UA's Circle K hopes to win first place at the Circle K International Convention in Buffalo, N.Y, next August. Their participation might make the difference in our ability to sustain all of our existing projects as we look for new ones. Circle K meets on Wednesday nights in the Ferguson Center Heritage Room.
