Action notes

GOING WILD: Members of Texas A&M Circle K hung out with the animals at the Brazos Wildlife Museum this past September. The volunteers took several turtles and iguanas outside to get some sun. Members say the iguanas were quite lazy (“they hardly moved an inch!”) and the turtles couldn’t get along (“many of them wanted to fight”).

UPS AND DOWNS: Circle K’ers at Ball State University in Indiana showed their love of animals, too, with their annual teeter-totter-a-thon this past November, which raised money for the Animal Rescue Fund in Muncie. Members collected money and handed out literature about the no-kill shelter. Circle K’ers raised more than $215 from teeter-totter pledges and other donations.

LOCKED IN THE MUSEUM: It’s not usually a good thing to get locked in a museum overnight, but for almost 40 Circle K’ers in the Wisconsin-Upper Michigan District, it was the plan all along. This past January, the Circle K’ers took part in the annual Winter Weekend Getaway by cleaning a children’s museum at night, snow sculpting, staging a snowbound treasure hunt, and a hike up Sugarloaf Mountain. This theme of the Winter Weekend Getaway was “Walking in a Winter WUMderland.”
