TELETUBBY-TC

Saadhvi Narayanan | ’20-’21 Treasurer

On October 17th, 2020, hundreds of caring and inclusive Key Club members joined a Zoom call. It was not unique by any means. It was one of the thousands of Zoom meetings running simultaneously, one of thousands of Zoom meetings with a randomized meeting ID. If anything, the creative and humor-laden passcode may have caught the average student’s eyes. However, it was unique, as it was the Zoom meeting of the Rainbow Region 3’s Region Training Conference (RTC).

RTC began with a positive note as our beloved Lieutenant Governors introduced themselves with the fun-filled energy of Teletubbies. Members, new and old, were able to receive an understanding of the ideal Key Club member through these iconic members. What most caught the attention of the members in attendance was the variety of workshops offered. From Key Club 101 to applying for scholarships, LTGs and officers of the District Board described each workshop in detail.

In all the workshops, detailed information was provided, as well as step by step guides to clearly convey their topic. Every piece of information held value that would be carried for the years to come. Members were able to attend 4 of these workshops, and at the end of the 4th, a closing ceremony. The RTC then ended, to the dismay of many. However, it left with every member new knowledge and hope that Key Club will still run strong even amidst this pandemic.
