Christopher Loubriel founded the Circle Club in 1999 with community service as his main goal. The Circle Club states as its mission "To promote tolerance, acceptance and understanding among peers. The members hope to learn and bond with like minded people, as well as teach others about their lives." The Circle Club, located in the Student Life Building, Room 205, has participated in past in clothing drives, bake sales and many school functions as a show of support for Lehman. The club has also taken part in fund raisers such as the Aids Walk, Race for the Cure and Diabetes Walk. In keeping with Loubriel's dedication to community service, the Circle Club will take part in the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk on Sunday, October 16th. The walk is organized by the American Cancer Society. Proceeds from the walk will support the American Cancer Society's Breast Cancer Research Fund.
Quitorah, a Circle Club member for the past three years, told the Meridian, "whenever we can help and make a contribution no matter the amount, we want to support the cause." Quitorah's mother, Cynthia, passed away from skin cancer one day before her daughter's 18th birthday. Quitorah wants to move beyond the sadness of her loss to do constructive things geared at keeping her mother's memory alive. This year, she has poured her energy into the breast cancer walk to honor her mother's memory. Throughout the interview Quitorah spoke with concern for people suffering from breast cancer. "I know a lot of people who have died of all types of cancer, I do not like it. It bothers me to see someone suffer like that."
