CMU’s Circle K Club is in its seventh year and has sent members to the District Convention for Kiwanis International, according to the news release. The club serves the community with the Project Linus blanket-making project for hospitalized children, Kids Aid Project Backpack, and more.

Due to this new charter status, “CMU has a Kiwanis sanctioned charter banner and gavel; and, members have received membership cards for the Rocky Mountain District.”

CMU’s Circle K Club meets every other Thursday at 5:30 p.m. in Escalante Room 201. The next meeting takes place on Sept. 13.
