After four consecutive years of attending Key Club
DCON, it was time for me to move up in the Kiwanis family and attend my first ever Circle K DCON. When I first registered for DCON, I knew I should have been excited, but
in all honesty, I wasn’t that excited. Having gone through
so many District Conventions in the past and having seen
what it takes to plan one, I thought I knew everything
there was to know about a District Convention. Little did
I know, however, I was completely wrong.
As the weekend drew near, I had very little expectations about the event because I had no idea what District
Convention was going to be like. I didn’t know if I was
going to enjoy it or if I was going to hate it for causing me
to lose even more sleep than I normally would have on
the weekend. I went in with a fresh perspective and I was
willing to experience everything that it had to offer me.
After surviving through the weekend with little to no
sleep, I was happy to see that I had thoroughly enjoyed
my very first Circle K District Convention. I was able to
meet up with so many of my old friends from the past
and I was also able to make so many new friends as well.
I also learned so much about Circle K and the entire Kiwanis family through the workshops that I attended. Everything about this weekend showed me what Circ ?R??v2&?WB?B?B??F?fFVB?RF?v?BF?F???&R????6?V"?B&V6??R?WfV???&R7F?fR6?V"?V?&W"??'?F?RV?B?bF?RvVV?V?B??F??Vv?BF?BF?7G&?7B6??fV?F????B66???6?VB?G2???v?âF?'&??rF?R4?6?&6?R?f??WfV?6??6W"F?vWF?W"F??WfW"&Vf?&R???@????F?B?fVV???&R6???V7FVBF??6?V"?BF??WG&??F?f?6????'WB?fV?B7G&??vW"6???V7F???F?F?RV?F?&RF?7G&?7B2vV???6VV??r???bW26??RF?vWF?W"????RvVV?V?BF?6V?V'&FR???b?W"66???6??V?G2?B6??WfV?V?G2?fW"F?R7B?V"?FR?Rv?BF?F?6??V6????&RF???7B6?&6?R??B??R?WfV?&?vvW"F?ffW&V?6R???6???V??G???2f?'7B?F??RGFV?FVR?b6?&6?R?F?7G&?7B6??fV?F???????fRF?6?F?B?V????VB?B??&RF???WfW"F??Vv?@??76?&?R??bf???6??6?GVF???2W&?B??v???FVf???FV??????f?'v&BF?GFV?F??rv???W?B?V"?
