f you asked me, a SoCal
beach bum, if I wanted to
drive 12 hours to NorCal to
be sleep deprived, face soulcrushingly cold weather, AND
pay for the entire trip on top
of that, I would probably
laugh at you.
The reality is, however, all
of this happened at Fall
Training Conference
2015 and I’d be more
than willing to go another
round without a second
thought. FTC was an
“
indescribable experience where I
learned so much about Circle K,
saw old faces, and met new ones.
For the longest time, I was scared
that my transition from Key Club
to Circle K wouldn’t bode well
but at FTC, I finally realized the
transition was all in my head.
Because at the end of the day, K
means family.
At FTC, I found family wherever
I went, whether it be in
my Ocean Rumble group
#NavigatorsVoyage2 or the
random strangers I sat with at
workshops, I was always met with
smiles and good vibes. My favorite
watch
the
closing
slideshow
session was the “Real Talk” as I
listened to real stories of how CKI
changed and saved some peoples’
lives.
Maybe it’s because summer had
been a little too long because
it took me seven weeks to
remember K and all that it stands
for. It isn’t just a service org or a
social club, it’s a way of life. For
anyone who was teetering to
go to FTC last year, you should
definitely go the next chance you
get because the experience was
truly unforgettable.
