18 • Tallulah Falls School MAGAZINE
Tallulah Falls School’s Key Club had a strong showing at the district convention (DCON) Feb. 2325 in Macon. The convention provides an opportunity for clubs to showcase their service projects for the year and learn how to better serve local communities in the year to come. Twelve TFS Key Club members attended the convention, making the contingent one of the largest, according to club sponsor and TFS teacher Scott Davis. The TFS chapter brought home a number of awards that are shown below the photograph. Tallulah Falls School also continued the valued tradition of representation on the Georgia District Board of Trustees. Sophomore Alia Bly of Clayton was retired as District 10 Lt. Governor but graciously assumed the mantle of District Bulletin Editor for the upcoming year. This marks the third year that a member of the TFS Key Club has served at the district level. DCON is all about charity and among those that were supported this year: Georgia Sheriffs’ Youth Homes, Project Eliminate, Project Thirst, Project Linus and the Circle of Hope.
