2016-2016 Note from your LTG!

Hello everyone!

I hope you guys are all well and working hard these last months of school! Push through, but don’t forget to enjoy your time and relax by doing fun service projects! Just because both the school and Key Club year is coming to an end does not mean to stop working hard!

I also hope to see as many of you at DCON in a couple weeks!

Best, Cecilia Vega Your LTG P.S. If you read this note & the rest of the newsletter, make sure to send me a quick email or text at (512) 200-6952 saying what your favorite thing about Key Club is!

When?

Very soon! The Texas-Oklahoma Key Club 2016 District Convention is from Thursday April 21 – Sunday April 24, 2016.

Where?

It’s at The Sheraton Dallas (400 Olive St. Dallas, Texas) How much?

Registration is $150 per person. This does not include the hotel fees (which are $150 per night per room + 15% tax) and the room reservations for The Sheraton must be made BEFORE registering for DCON. What’s included in the registration price?

More information about getting your money’s worth is in the Convention Bulletin (under the “OPEN ME FIRST” folder in the DCON 2016 Resource Package, which can be found at tokeyclub.com/its-time-to-register-for-dcon-2016)

Registered but unsure of what to expect or pack? I’ll be sending out a detailed packing list very soon! Let me know if there are any more questions on what to expect for DCON such as food, transportation, and how much money one should expect to spend on extras.
