“The War of the Roses”

Rainbow Ball!

A couple of weeks ago Circle K held a Rainbow Ball to raise money for the Kiwanis Pediatric Trauma Center.

Why is it called the "Rainbow" Ball you ask? Well, because Kiwanis puts on a huge formal Black and White Ball annually to raise money for KPTC. The ticket prices are a little steep for college students, and since the KPTC sign is actually a rainbow, we threw the Rainbow Ball for Circle K and Key club members of New York. Mostly it was clubs from Long Island, but our friends at RPI in Troy (which is near Albany, aka 3 hours away) joined us too!

We ended up raising close to $5,000 and had a ton of fun.


The AU Ballroom was hit by a rainbow tornado.

Jaquie (from RPI), Lauren, Kat, and me, all dolled up. My hair looked 100 times better, until I had to walk over from my dorm in the drizzling rain and wind.

Purple Girls!

Blue girls!
