During the summer break there where a few
changes made to the structure of the executive
body of the UWI Mina Circle K Club. Our former 2nd
Vice President Anique Mckie was appointed to the
District board, in the post of District Secretary, leaving
a vacancy in the executive body. With the 2nd V.P
moving on to the big leagues, it was decided to look
within the club and choose one outstanding circle K-
er who exhibited the necessary qualities needed to
fill the seat. After much deliberation, it was decided
that we would appoint Circle K-er Debra Williamson
to the post of 2nd Vice President. So we ask you all to
welcome her with open arms
On September 26th , the culmination of the
UWI Mona Circle K‟s‟ Anniversary Week, took
shape in our grand Anniversary Meeting. With the

future. Along with this most riveting presentation,
