Bobby Scherer
I'm currently a junior at Baytown Christian Academy
that joined Key Club as a way to help people all over the world get the resources they need to survive and live the best lives they can. I'm excited to move up into the LTG position so that I can help clubs run smoothly and allow them to do their jobs and focus on the less fortunate. I am hoping to get involved with Kiwanis after the end of my high school career to continue offering a helping hand to this amazing organization
that does so much good.

Registration Prices
Hotel Information The Sheraton Hotel is a clear landmark in Downtown Dallas with its gorgeous city views from 242 suites. Convention guests will enjoy relaxing in the comfort of the modern rooms provided by the four diamond rated hotel with a crisp white Sheraton Sweet Sleeper Bed, flat panel HDTV, and ecofriendly features. With its recent $90 million redesign, attendants are sure to have a luxurious stay. All hotel reservations must be made through the HOTEL by each club separately before registering for District Convention. You will need to contact the convention hotel to make room reservations for your club (making note of the confirmation numbers). To reserve your rooms, call the Sheraton at 214.922.8000. Then submit your convention registration online and mail your convention registration fees as instructed by the site. You cannot make room reservations through the T-O District office. Be sure to inform the hotel that you are with the Texas-Oklahoma Key Club Convention to ensure you get our discounted convention rate.
The hotel price is set at $150.00/night per room plus tax. It is a requirement that all convention attendees stay at the appropriate convention hotel. Failure to register at the Sheraton Dallas Hotel will effectively cancel your convention registration. If the hotel becomes overbooked, contact the T-O District Key Club Administrator for overflow hotel information at 830-733-0008. Be sure to request a confirmation of hotel reservations from the hotel. This will ensure that your rooms will be available and eliminate confusion or problems when
checking into the hotel. The total occupancy tax rate in Dallas is 15%. Of that, the state sales tax rate is 6.0%. Schools are encouraged to use their tax-exempt status (TX schools only) to remove 6.0% sales tax (NO exemption for remaining hotel tax). To take advantage of this, a club must pay for room and tax by school or organization check and present a copy of their tax-exempt certificate. This may be done upon check-in. Before requesting a school check or determining your means of payment, confirm with the hotel the total cost of all rooms, including all taxes. We suggest that any club that plans to arrive late contact the hotel to make sure room reservations are held. Check-in time is at 3:00PM and checkout time on April 24th is at 12:00PM. Per Key Club International policy, no adult may share a sleeping room with a student. In addition, male and female students are prohibited from accommodating the same room. Please make your reservations accordingly.
