letter From Your ltg! Hello everyone! February has been an extremely hectic month for me! I absolutely hate the cold, and I was sick for quite a while during mock trial competition season but spring break is on the way so hang in there! As a reminder, please register for District Convention. Early Bird registration is due March 9th so make sure you get the $135 rate instead of $175. If you are a senior who applied for the scholarship, please be aware that you have to be at DCON for the interview, which is a required component of the scholarship. If your club is attending District Convention, I encourage you to enter in some contest and awards, and start working on them now! Contest and Awards are a huge part of DCON, and regardless of whether you win or not, it’s a fun and rewarding thing to do. During the last weekend of February, our Lt.G Elect Kazi Rabbi attended the Lt.G Training Conference and he is ready and energized to lead this division. The cover page of this newsletter and page 6 are some pictures he sent me! On a final note, you should have already done your club elections for next years officers. If not, please get them done this month and let them shadow their respective officer position so they can learn the job. Yours in Caring and Service, Kathryn Aung Volume 2 | Issue 10 | Region 3 | Division 25W | Texas-Oklahoma District

Fund Your DCON fun District conventions play a crucial role in the future direction of a district and a Key Clubber’s overall experience. However, the informative workshops, district board elections and a fun-filled weekend with other Key Clubbers come at a price that poses a financial barrier for many clubs and their members. Here are some ways Key Clubbers can find financial support to attend district conventions: ●
Start planning now. The Key Club International website has a Sponsorship Toolkit document that explains the 3/3/3 concept on addressing fees, along with an organized approach to finding funding for district convention.
●
Ask your Kiwanis club for support. Using the Sponsorship Toolkit mentioned above, a Key Club can approach its sponsoring Kiwanis club with a plan for attending district convention and request funds to supplement those raised by the Key Club members. Remember, establishing a strong relationship with your Kiwanis club has immense value beyond the logistics of getting to district convention.
●
Communicate with your school administration (if applicable) about providing transportation (such as school vans) to district convention. A group transportation alternative might reduce cost-related difficulties for members.
●
Collaborate with a business in your region to fundraise. The following businesses have an established fundraiser system that makes raising money for a cause as simple as submitting a quick application online or to the local store’s manager.
