district events
Stefanie Chow
UC San Diego
Spring Training Conference (STC) South
was undoubtedly an exciting and motivating
(not to mention minion-ful) kick-off to the
new Circle K year!
A record-breaking 450+ Circle K’ers and Kiwanians gathered at Orange Coast College
on Sunday, May 6th, 2012 to build leadership
skills, network with other members, and support their divisions and District. The sunny
weather and positive attitudes definitely
contributed to how much information was
absorbed in just one day!
After reading through all the evaluation
forms, I was proud knowing that members
enjoyed the wide variety of workshops/panels and the knowledge that each host or panelist had to share. From learning about committees to learning how to plan a roadtrip,
there was something for everyone at this
District event! Of course, none of this would
have been possible without the help of all
my workshop/panel hosts, volunteers, and
special helpers.
Next to Orange Coast College, I believe
that UC San Diego Circle K played the next
most important role in making STC South a
success! Sojeong Moon and Steven Nguyen
were my dynamic duo in drawing the Despicable Me characters displayed ALL over
the event, from the program to the room
signs. Everyone loved how much the event
matched the theme, and those two were the
main reason why we had so many great images to show off!
As for workshop and panel hosts, Roger
Pan, Candace Chu, Kristine Le, Steven Nguyen, and Darren Syu were among the HIGHEST-RATED workshops and panels out of
the fifty offered at STC South. Thank you SO
much for all your hard work!
And lastly, I really appreciate everyone
who attended the event and showed their
support to our Paradise Division and the
CNH District. I hope you learned much from
STC South and took back that information to
share with others.
For those who could not make it, there
are still many District events in the future,
so look forward to them. With all this experience and knowledge under our belts, let’s
get even more involved and super pumped
for the rest of the year!
