BEACH BOOMBA/ JULY

July 23, 2022

July DCM was held at Huntington Beach on Saturday the 23rd. There, I was astounded by how many Key Club members there were from various schools across OC. Beach Boomba is one of the first DCMs that I have attended. The check-in was extremely easy, although I was a tad late. After that, the members were separated into groups. In those groups, we had to work together to complete a relay race. My group and I conversed a lot, which aided us when deciding who was going to do what. Once the relay race was over, we worked on service events. It was pretty enjoyable to be able to create kind messages on popsicle sticks and dog toys. I cannot leave out the weird, but funny, skit that some of the LTGs put together. It was more informational than I expected. By this time, it was extremely hot, but we were given many breaks and opportunities to hydrate. Although it was prohibited for members to swim in the water, I still went for a bit. The games that Key Club put on were also very fun. We had the chance to fundraise while having fun, by pie-ing the lieutenant governors. In the end, we cleaned up our area, and the LTGs thanked everyone for their participation. Overall, this event was diverting. It was a well-planned DCM- from the date/weather to the itinerary. I will be sure to attend as many DCMs as I can in the future, as this one was a great first experience.
