Members of the Month - April 2008

Sac State
Linda Sok Although she is graduating soon, she still took the initiative to join our club as a paid member. Linda was very helpful and had an input during our meetings. Not only in our general meetings, but she also took the time to join the board meetings and volunteered to help us however she could. Her generosity has been a great help to our club. Especially when we had our Kiwanis Family Night, the board was so stressed due to last minute planning, but Linda would just do whatever she could to make it easier for us. She has given up so much of her time and effort to our club more than any other member has done, and considering that she is new, she has done an outstanding job. Greg Hicks: Greg is our new member. He is very enthusiastic and an active member who attends all the meetings and many events. He has a true heart for service, which was shown by his attendance at CSUS's Alternative Break Program. This program was on Spring Break and a group from school does various community service events. He is also a member of Alphi Phi Omega, which is a group at school. Greg connects us with that group for events as well. We are greatful for Linda and Greg's participation and look forward to what they will bring in the future.

UCI
This month's outstanding member of the month goes to Emillio Sanchez. He is just recently became a new member, but has been going to more service projects than some of the board members. The time he has already dedicated to service is amazing, especially for only being a one month old member. His passion for service does not stop there, he continues to support other members by attending multiple committee meetings. 2 weeks ago, he became Member of the week, something that we just started, where a newspecial member gets recognition at every general meeting. He is not afriad to try new things or to go out of his comfort zone, at his very first service project, he participated in our service stop cheer, even though he had no idea what he was doing. His passion is something we can all learn from.
Almost everyone at UCI, even at our young age, knows someone who struggled or is struggling with cancer.

ThatŐs why itŐs important that we at UCI Circle K Relay for Life in a show of our support and dedication to this important cause.

UCSD
There are 2 April MOM's. Tommy Huynh: Tommy has been really active for the past two months. He has been signing up for almost every event and has attended most of the meetings. His eagerness to serve and his caring and friendly personality shines through his persistent and on time attendance to service projects. This in turn helps inspire other members to do the same - to serve, but to also care at the same time. His friendly attributes and his persistence in attending club functions makes Tommy extremely deserving of MOM.
Theresa Wong: Not only has Theresa been very active in this club, by attending our weekly meetings, she has also been very active in terms of opportunities outside of the service events (in which she also frequently attends). She is highly involved in the committees! Her enthusiasm to do something for the club shines through the ideas that she throws out and in her confidence that the club will be able to grow. We need more members like Theresa, which is all the more reason why she deserves to be one of our MOMs this month!
