DCON 2015:
!
! ! ! ! ! !
! ! ! !
! ! ! ! !
! District Convention (DCON) this year took place in the lovely city of Seattle. During opening session Key Clubbers represented their division by wearing their divisional colors and mascot and competed in spirit battles for the chance to take home the spirit stick. Along with that, there were many special guests, such as Clara C. and Scott Backovich. The DCON attendees also had the opportunity to listen to the district board’s candidates and asked questions regarding the candidate’s position. During closing session, the district board of 2014-2015 got retired and while the upcoming district board on 2015-2016 got installed. Overall, DCON was a wonderful experience for Key Clubbers to branch out to meet other Key Clubbers and to celebrate the amazing year of service. DCON 2015 was a unforgettable one.
