graphics.py: moving a circle around a window on mouse click

Hoping someone is familiar with Zelle's graphics module. I need to create a program that calls a method 10 times. The method draws a circle on a mouse click. I was able to make the circle appear in a new location (but not the original circle disappear). I've created a method (which I am sure is not correct) and a while loop. What am I missing? The circle should present when the window opens, the user clicks 10 times, each time the circle moves to a new location, and then the program ends with it in its final position. My code below, with description. Thanks.

#moveTo(shape, newCenter) shape is a graphics object that supports the getCenter method and
# newCenter is a Point. Moves shape so that newCenter is its center.

'''Use your function to write a program that draws a circle
and then allows the user to click the window 10 times. 
Each time the user clicks, the circle is moved where the user clicked.'''


from graphics import *


def moveTo(newCenter):
    win = GraphWin
    circle = Point(newCenter.getX(), newCenter.getY())
    circle.draw(win)
    newCenter.getMouse()
    return circle



def main():
    win = GraphWin("Move the Circle", 1000, 1000)
    c = Circle(Point(500, 300), 100)
    c.draw(win)
    i = 0
    while i <=10:
        p = win.getMouse()
        moveTo(p)
        i = i + 1


main()

Here is the error that currently is thrown after the window appears:
