This year’s theme was: Level up in service. Guest speaker Huston Kraft spoke about love and the different types of love that one can feel towards a group or individual. DCON also teach key clubbers a variety new things from workshops galore. These workshops ranges from Fundraising 101 to learning how to Zumba. There is no cap to what these workshops can lead you to. Aside from that there is a Spirit Contest. The division with the most spirit receives a stick that has been decorated. As the outgoing Lieutenant governors step down from their office a new group of officers to take their place. Which concludes the Key club year!

District Council Meeting May’s DCM will be a joint DCM with Division 26.

April’s DCM will take place in the Roosevelt Commons on the 25th. This DCM we will be installing new officers that have been elected last month by each club. It is MANDITORY for all outgoing and incoming officers, we cannot do the celebration without the officers. With that aside all members are invited as well as Kawanians around the neighborhood. This is a time for bonding within our own division. We will meet key clubbers from different schools, while snacking on finger foods. The DCM will take place at 6:20PM and will end no later than 8PM.
