Regional Training Conference “A Region Training Conference is put on every year by the current Lt. Governor in your division in conjunction with other Lt. Governors in the same region or group of regions. At the Region Training Conference you will meet Key Club members from all the other clubs in your region and division. There will be informative workshops on various topics that will help you and the other members of your club. There will be Icebreakers so you can get to know some of the members of the other clubs in the region. You will leave this conference knowing so much more about Key Club and how to be a more effective officer and/or member.”
“Some of the workshops that may be presented at your RTC are: Membership development, service projects, fundraising, member recognition, running for office, all officer workshops, District Projects, Kiwanis Family, Major Emphasis Project, and Key Club 101 to name a few. You will also get more information about Fall Rally and the CNH District Convention. This is an event you and the rest of our club members do not want to miss. Plan to have a ton of fun along the way.”

“My experience at the 2013 Regional Training conference held at Canyon Crest Academy was unforgettable. From my arrival at8:30 to my departure over twelve hours later, the time flew faster than I could imagine. I learned so many new things about Key Club, PTP, and our community. The spirit battles against the six divisions were intense, all leading up to the distribution of the Spirit Sticks and trophy. As a member of Division 37 East Key Club, Champion of Chubby Bunny, and forever a representative of the jellyfish, RTC changed my perspective on how Key Club works and how to help my community in the most effective way possible. The people attending the event were full of spirit and I received countless free hugs from all of those around me. Having L&L Barbecue cater the event was amazing and the entire day was extremely memorable and I don't plan on ever forgetting it.”
“To be honest, I walked into RTC with high expectations after hearing stories about it from my fellow veteran key clubbers, and, I must say, my expectations were exceeded. I enjoyed learning about the inner and more detailed workings of Key Club and how I can set up service events to make my club, my school, and my community look and feel better. However, hands down, the greatest part about Key Club is the amount of enthusiasm and spirit shown by all the different divisions and how even though we engage in heated spirit battles we all still have a great time meeting each other and forming new friendships. So, is going to RTC worth it? You bet it is.” Annabelle Sundara class of 2017 “RTC was a blast! I had an amazing time there! I met new people from my division and some from other divisions, and they were super friendly! I was very stoked that we won because this was my first RTC, and I was very proud of myself and everyone else. Out of the whole experience, I’d say that the spirit battles and the little activities we did were the best part. The spirit battle was definitely number one because I gave it my all, even though my voice was almost gone ; it still is! All of the groups were amazing; their cheers, their spirits , and especially their costumes ! Other than that there's nothing else I can say about RTC because it left me speechless, literally speechless! “
How was your experience at RTC?

PTP(Pediatric Trauma Prevention ) Did you know? -Unintentional injury is the #1 killer of children age 14 and under in the U.S. -Unintentional injury kills more children every year than any other cause - including disease, homicide and suicide! -90% of these unintentional injuries can be prevented!
Why are we going to Laser Tag Invasion: -50% of the proceeds will be going towards the cause of Pediatric Trauma Prevention (PTP) -Our goal is to raise just $100 which can provide many families with new helmets, car-seats, and other necessities that can prevent another child from suffering the consequences of premature trauma.
On October 30,2013 we raised $65 from laser tag!
