TEXAS-OKLAHOMA KEY CLUB

What is DCON?

Get your wands, cloaks, and brooms ready, for an experience of a lifetime that will require a bit of wizardry as well and service will become thrilling for all attendees.

For those who have yet to attend DCON, it is a multiday event on April 20th-23rd, 2017 at the Sheraton Hotel in downtown Dallas, Texas. It’s a time for Texas-Oklahoma Key Clubbers to unite, celebrate a year of service, learn new ways to benefit the community and make memories that will last a lifetime. Interesting aspects of the event include forums, district staff elections, the welcoming activity, service fair, contests and awards, and so much more!

This year, we intend to incorporate the theme into all aspects of the convention. From becoming a rising wizard or witch at welcoming activity to many brave and rewarding spellbound tasks throughout the weekend, we’ll be able to complete the task of enchanting service together.

DCON is short for District Convention. Each year, the Texas-Oklahoma District gets together to celebrate the year of service, elect the new district executive board, meet other Key Clubbers in the area, and learn about new service opportunities.
