Club Forum Applications Ever wondered what it would be like to teach a forum? Now is your chance! As in the past, we have always invited clubs to apply for their convention attendees to share their unique knowledge and perspective by teaching a forum at district convention. This year is no different, your club could potentially teach a forum at DCON 2016. If selected, clubs will be working closely with the Convention Liaison, Megan Reynosa, to ensure their forum will be the best it can be. 5

The District Project is the Conversation on Conservation ! Help protect our environment by working through the three branches: 1. Water: Cutting back on daily usage of water, work to keep water clean, provide water to those in need 2. Deforestation: Stop rapid deforestation and protect habitats and natural resources. 3. Pollution: keeping the air clean, cut back on fossil fuels, and stop daily pollution The District Project Committee has created ideas to participate in the project throughout the year. The first one was on a local level, promoting shorter showers as well as environmental awareness. Check tokeyclub.com for more information on the Conversation on Conservation 11
