New Member
Caitlin McCormick was officially welcomed into the club at our meeting
on Tuesday April 27. She is temporarily living in McLean and working at
Cafe Deluxe in Tysons Corner. Her sponsor, Mitra, had been talking about
Kiwanis for 5 years and Caitlin decided it was time to give it a try.
Caitlin has enjoyed volunteering at many projects like Shelter House
Casino Night and the UUCF Yardsale. Caitlin also deserves special props
for attending several socials and board meetings
.

UUCF Yard Sale - May 1st
Stacy, Kristina, Carly, Sebastian, and new member Caitlin volunteered at the UUCF Yard Sale early on Saturday morning around
8:30am. Items were already setup so we primarily were stationed at the
clothing tables to refold items, keep items in their respective category
by sex and size, and generally keep the tables tidy.
Adopt-A-Highway - May 2nd
On a warm Sunday morning Adam, Caitlin and Mitra spent some time
cleaning up our "adopted" highway - Haycock Road, between Rt.7 and
Haycock Elementary School. In just an hour and a half, they were able to
fill 3 large bags of trash. They received several "thank yous" from
pedestrians and were happy to do a good deed for the community.
Hunks with Heart for Ronald McDonald House Charities - May 7th
Ladies, mark your calendars for next year! Every May, Ronald McDonald
House Charities holds a Hunks with Heart fundraiser. This fundraiser
combines a silent auction with a "hunk auction". The hunks ranged this
year from a latin dance instructor to the ABC7 morning weatherman. Mitra
and Stacy volunteered at the event on May 7. They got to have fun,
hang out with RMDH staff members, and, most importantly, hang out with
the hunks! Guys, mark your calendars, too! They need volunteer hunks
for registration, tracking auction bids, and escorting lovely ladies.
Our club loves supporting RMDH and this is a great new way to support
them. Make plans to join us next year!

Fun Facts: I've traveled to over 20 countries and have visited 49 of the 50 states, I've managed to lock myself in the trunk of my own car before (it takes talent!), and I can eat two extra-large stuffed crust pizzas in one sitting... in fact, I probably eat more than just about anyone you know :)
