As we kick off the Circle K International service year, our international committees are already hard at work, creating meaningful experiences and resources for members around the world. We extend a heartfelt thank-you to every CKI member who applied to serve on an international committee. The response was incredible! We were thrilled to see such enthusiasm. Applicants’ willingness to share their time, talents and passion for CKI is inspiring and speaks to the strength of our global community.
