Lynn KIC

Hi guys!

Just a reminder that tomorrow we will have our meeting at 6 pm on the Knights Court Patio. Hope to see you all there!

The KIC Chairs

Hello, Hello!

We hope you guys' weekend was amazing and that everyone stayed cool against the humidity!

Well, we have a few things to remind/discuss/remind you guys about:

1) Last meeting we had Jesse Kopp, one of the co-founders of Hats2Hope, talk to us about how he wanted all of us to help him bring his idea up from the ground. Their mission is "provide happiness to cancer patients throughout the country by donating new and used hats to Cancer Centers. Hats 2 Hope is an organization that brings hats to patients to put a smile on their face. Many people suffer from this terrible disease and Hats for Hope is there to put a hat on their head and give them the strength to keep fighting". So, we basically are wondering who is interested in helping out once we have all the details settled.

2) Also in our last meeting, we discussed helping Christina Johnson this Tuesday October 9th making media kits that she will have set up in the school across the street from Lynn.

3) In our first meeting we had Chandra, who wants to initiate a mentoring group to help you delinquents get through school, any one interested in that?

4) Our weekly meetings have changed! We are no longer meeting every week. We are now going to be meeting every other week. So, out next meeting will be on October the 18th (Week before the debate) at 6 pm at the Knight's Court Patio.

If you guys are interested in any of the volunteering opportunities mentioned above, reply to this e-mail with your name and phone number. Oh, and do spread the word. The more we have to help the merrier!

Hope you guys have a wonderful start of the week!

"KIC with the KITTIES" 2010

New to Knighthood » KIC with Kittens! Today I was up early while the rest of the student body was probably asleep. I had a reason for getting up so early though: KIC with the Kittens! I decided to get involved with KIC (Knights in the Community) because I enjoy doing community service and helping others. So when I went to the first meet...

Paula Johnson on her photos from Positive Connections: These are the faces of HIV/AID'S. As I said when I spoke on World Aid's Day; If you ever have a moment when you feel unprotected s*x is a risk with your life you are willing to take, think about the life of the children you want to have someday that might be born sick too or left an orphan. Your life is not simply about who you are today but what you want to create in the future for yourself and the family you have yet to have. Many thanks to Lynn University's Knights in the Community for taking the time to collect toys to give to the children you see in these pictures. "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world; Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has." ~ Margaret Mead

KIC was able to participate in a toy drive by donating a few of the many gifts donated from other local organizations and families for "Positive Connections Christmas Party" - Children affected by HIV/AID's. We would not have been enlightened about this wonderful organization if it weren't for Paula Beth Johnson - a long time supporter and responsible for these photos. Thank you Paula! Thank you KIC members for donating gifts!

The MAC AIDS FUNDraiser was a successful event thanks to all the members of KIC, Hospitality Club, Fashion Management Club, Black Student Union, the Lynn Conservatory, Special Guest Speakers, Sponsors, Lynn University and the MAC Cosmetic Artists from the Boca Town Center Mall. It was an emotionally evening filled with enlightenment, entertainment, and we were able to raise close to $2000. Thank you everyone!

KIC participated with other Lynn student organizations to raise awareness for Disability Awareness Month - created by Stephanie Hammerman.

Knights in the Community partnered up with MAC Cosmetics to raise money and awareness for HIV/Aids.

KIC, Hospitality Club, Lynn Staff & Faculty participated in an annual Breast Cancer walk in Boca Raton, Fl.
