Dragon Issue 7 Monthly february
Cnh district Region 3 Division 4 West
Words from LTG Happy February, my beautiful dragons! The year is coming to an end, and that means District Convention is coming up! DCON is the biggest event of the year, and you do not want to miss out! This year, we will be traveling up north to Sacramento for a 3 day, 2 night convention. Since DCON is up north this year, it will be more expensive, so please save your money! I promise it will be worth it. There is no better way to conclude a GOLDEN year or service than a weekend with your fellow California-Nevada-Hawaii Key Clubbers! I hope that you all attend Conclave and our January DCM on January 25th! Come meet the 2014-2015 Division 4 West Lieutenant Governor and meet other Key Clubbers in Region 3, as well. I know you all want to shower your next LTG with lots of love (something I did not get...just kidding). This year is going by extremely fast, and we have less than 3 months left together. Do you know what the best way to end the 20132014 Key Club term is? ATTEND DISTRICT CONVENTION! It's going to be 8 hours on a bus with Division 4 West, a 3-day, 2-night convention with Key Clubbers across California, Nevada, and Hawaii, an awards ceremony, Governor's Ball, and more! DCON is definitely something you should experience as a Key Club member, so start saving your money. It's the best way to start spring break (for Huntington Beach and Fountain Valley District schools) and end spring break (for Santa Ana schools). You don't regret attending DCON because it will be a GOLDEN experience for you! As the year is coming to an end, all of us will be electing our 2014-2015 club boards very soon. If you want to run for something, don't let anything hold you back! The experience of running is something really inspiring, and even if you do not get elected, you will take something out of it. :) With Lots of Love, Katrina Nguyen 2013-2014 Lt. Governor

Caring, Our Way of Life.
Children's Miracle Network is one of our preferred charities since 1997. The money that we as Key Clubbers raise goes directly to benefit more than 170 children's hospital that are linked with Children's Miracle Network. The break down of our fundraising for CMN is to train staff, purchase up-today's equipment, conduct research and as well as providing healthcare to those families who cannot afford it. Hospitalized infants and children need special care and we help save 14 million children annually! Every boy and girl like you and me whom are facing life-threatening injuries, birth defects, and cancer. There are simple ways that even YOU can help. For example, making cards, lending books, creating videos for them to enjoy and many more!
