International Convention

My experience at ICON cannot be described in one short article submission. Being able to meet so many different people and feel the impact of your vote towards amendments and our leaders at ICON is a very different experience than DCON. It was so satisfying having CNH be the host district this year and seeing the amount of dedicated and spirited members we have in our very own district, but meeting people from around the country and the world was definitely an eye opener. I’m really glad I had the chance to go to ICON and bond with everyone in our division who went.

Officer Training Conference

OTC allows members to have the opportunity to learn about skills they can apply during their term.

The organization of this event surely aided the great flow and productivity go these sessions. The sessions ranged from time management to ERFs. Aside from all the great sessions, OTC came to an end with a division sand castle contest to raise funds. Officer Training Conference was definitely promising, can’t wait until the next one!

Club Updates

XTime Company Picnic Volunteer This past week Carlmont and Mills teamed up to staff an event hosted by Fun Events. They had been hired by a company called XTime and when they needed volunteers to help, the Key Clubs were there. We worked together to staff booths including handing out food and supervising inflatables. As a token of their appreciation, Fun Events donated $1,000 to Carlmont which will help us exponentially in the upcoming year.

I thought this volunteer opportunity was especially fun.

I liked that we got to choose our tasks. I cooked with my friend. The weather was beautiful. The guests were nice, polite and appreciative. The actual spot in Twin Pines Park was difficult to find at first, as it is a big park. However, I believe everything ran smoothly and we had fun doing it too.

Club Updates

Pie-A-Officer Fundraiser Our pie-a-kid event turned out to be a success. All of the proceeds are going towards the pediatric trauma program. We went around with posters explaining our cause and people were very eager to participate.

It was a super fun experience and I’m glad it was for a good cause as well. It was also nice to involve people who did not know about the cause to contribute.

Preschool Volunteering During the past 5 summers, I’ve volunteered at a preschool that I use to go to.

Helping prepare snacks and lunches for them, cleaning up their messes, teaching them, and playing with them is all part of my job. I go back every summer because I know that the teachers will always need any help they can get. The feeling of walking into the school and hearing the children scream my name out always makes me feel like all the hours spent working there was worth it.
