International Convention
Circle K International Convention( ICON) was a wonderful experience! From the people we met, food we ate, and things we did, ICON at Vancouver, BC was a fantastic experience! After checking in, we quickly met up with Ryan Ocampo, our Subregion B Trustee and good friend. He took us to what became our favorite restaurant of the trip: Santouka Ramen! I ordered a spicy broth, called Kara Miso, with springy ramen noodles, savory pork, and perfectly cooked egg with a side of fatty and savory pork with green onions over rice. We ended up coming back for dinner on our last day there, with our new Cal-Nev-Ha friends!
We then explored the exhibition hall, where Alex showed off her Southwest spirit in a chili costume! Later, I duked it out with Shivam Patel, the New Jersey Governor, in his Tomato Costume. And at roll Call, Alex stood on a chair and danced around with our Subregion during our District Cheer, IN THE CHILI COSTUME. Although we were plenty loud with the two of us, CNH, and Rocky Mountain, the Southwest could be better represented with some Arizona and New Mexico spirit! I hope we have much more attendees this 2014 year at Nashville, Tennessee, music & BBQ town! Later, we bonded with our Subregion A + counterparts at our Subregion Awards dinner. And we elected our new International President, Daniel Tsang, International Vice President, Amelia Ahnert, and our new Subregion B Trustee, David Limjoco! Last, I would like to congratulate our Immediate Past District Bulletin Editor, Elissia Torres, for earning the Distinguished Editor award!
I hope to see you all in Nashville, Tennessee next year!-Andrew Lee
