In late April, Kiwanis and Key Club members all gathered at St. James church for a presentation on the experience Key Club had at DCON. If you’re not familiar, DCON is short for District Convention. It’s a gathering of thousands of Key Club members and others from across the Pacific Northwest District, and the world! It’s a weekend filled with workshops, training sessions and social events; and it’s a place to celebrate, reminisce and collaborate around the year of service. This year six members of the Sherwood Key Club attended DCON and its safe to say the trip was an absolute success and the money we raised was well spent! The members shared their experiences in meeting people from all over the world, making connections that will last a lifetime and brainstorming ideas that can be implemented immediately. One of the biggest takeaways from the convention was the desire for a Builders Club, which the Key Club members are taking on as a project for this coming school year. They have found both a Kiwanis and Faculty Advisor; and they are willing to share the $400 start-up cost with the Kiwanis Club, as well as help pay the annual dues for the Builders Club. With so much enthusiasm represented from them, the Kiwanis Board voted to support them with this cause. They also came up with a plan of action for new fundraising opportunities that will make an impact on any service project they are interested in. Overall, the trip was inspirational, and the memories made will last them a lifetime. Many of the Key Club members are already looking forward to attending again next year.
