On Wednesday, we had a table set up at the Student Organizations Fair on the KUC lawn from 10-2. We handed out literature and had prospective new members sign a sheet so we could e-mail and remind them of Monday's meeting. The event went really well and we had a lot of positive feedback. The Circle Kers who voluteered to work the table also got a chance to get to know each other better. Pictured from left to right are: Kevin O'Dea, Becky Pickering, Leslie James, Jason Plummer, Lara James, and Sarah Johnson.
We walked in the American Heart Association's Heart Walk on Sunday, Sept. 17. On Saturday, we sold pinups at Kroger and Bi-Lo on Memorial Blvd. to raise money for our team.

Circle Kers volunteered Oct. 24-26 for the June Anderson Women's Center's Clothesline Project.
