A word from the
NEWS EDITOR
Hello, CNH Bees!
We’re rarely ever in the same place at once:
between packed classroom meetings awaiting
the latest updates and service opportunities,
neighborhood
park
sandwich
making
gettogethers for the local food bank, or boba milk
teahouse after-service socials, we’re all simply busy
at work saving our own little corner of the world.
That’s why it’s so special when we do come
together as one big CNH ohana. Fall Rally showed
you what happens when thousands of spirited Key
Clubbers all converge onto one place. It’s just that
you’d have missed out on meeting people from
the other half of our district either way. If division,
region, and district-wide events leave you curious
and wanting more, your heart is in the right place.
Enter District Convention—DCON is everything
you’d find in the greatest family get-together anyone
could ask for—a weekend full of spirit and CNH love:
fellowship, learning, and of course, celebration.
In addition to the information in this special issue
designed to help you find your way to Anaheim come
March, you’ll find that people love talking about their
my-first-time-at-DCON stories. Don’t have one yet? It’s
not too late—DCON 2015 is your perfect opportunity.

Hello CNH Bees!
Welcome to the Convention Issue of our
District Newsletter! We hope that you find this
issue incredibly useful when it comes to sharing
the District Convention (DCON) experience with
fellow members. Remember, this is only a small
taste of DCON 2015. You’re going to have to come
and see for yourself what all the buzz is about!
Convention is a time of celebration, where
members, club officers, and advisors are recognized
for a year’s worth of unending service and
dedication to Key Club. Convention is also a time
of new beginnings when newly-elected officers are
ushered into term. But that isn’t all it! At DCON, you
will have the opportunity to interact with thousands
of Key Clubbers from all across California, Nevada,
and Hawaii, attend workshops to help enhance your
leadership skills, and learn more about Key Club! The
education you will receive at District Convention
will last a lifetime and help foster your growth as a
leader. The friends you will create at DCON will
be a part of your most cherished memories. If you
have gone to District Convention before, this year
is going to be unlike any other year because of
new features such as region time, extra training
sessions, optional caucus time, and more that you
can learn more about reading through this issue or
experience while you are in Anaheim, California.
We certainly have a lot of reasons to celebrate this
year’s convention—I want YOU to be a part of our
wonderful end-of-the-term district-wide celebration!
Every day, each and every one of you inspires
me to do all that I do. Let’s come together for a
wonderful CELEBRATION of Key Club in CNH love
and spirit. I can’t wait to see YOUR CLUB registered
for the 69th Convention so I can see you soon!
Jacqueline Tsang
District Governor
Secretary
Hello, CNH Key Club!
Can you believe it’s already December?
The season of joy and spirit is upon us, so remember
to bring that to the Key Club side of your life as
well! No matter what you celebrate, make sure to
take the time off from school to appreciate all the
little things, no matter what they may be for you.
Not only is it the holiday season, but it’s
also time to register for the biggest celebration
that the CNH District hosts every year—DISTRICT
CONVENTION! This year, DCON will be held at
the Anaheim Hilton and Convention Center. The
theme is CELEBRATE: Service, Leadership, and
Family. Are you ready to meet the candidates
that are running to be next year’s executives?
Are you ready to experience retirement and
installation? Are you ready to attend seminars to
learn more about this wonderful organization?
And of course, are you ready to show your spirit
and let CNH know how you feel? Well, make sure
to register for DCON with your club president
as soon as possible! Also, keep fundraising to
pay for the registration fee! Your parents may
accept a reimbursement policy in which you pay
them back after you’ve made all the money.
To seniors: keep your head up during
application season! You can do this. Remember
to manage your time well enough to continue
keeping Key Club as an active part of your life. To the
underclassmen: Candidate Training Conference
is this month! Make sure you’re attending to learn
more about the position you want to run for, be
it Lieutenant Governor or District Executive. I look
forward to seeing the potential candidates at
District Office Candidate Training Conference!

Aloha CNH Bees!
Will I be see your club in Anaheim at DCON
2015? District Convention has something in store for
everyone—Key Clubbers new to the organization
and wanting to get more involved, to graduating
high school seniors who want to know more about
the next step after Key Club. Not only will you
meet likeminded individuals from across the three
states within our district; you also are guaranteed
to make memories that will last a life time.
DCON registration is open: If you are
interested, please contact your club officers
immediately to begin fundraising to help pay for
your trip! Costs for Convention may be daunting,
but this is a challenge that can be conquered!
When coming up with a total cost for
convention for your club, remember to incorporate
registration fees for both members and chaperones,
as well as any applicable transportation fees.
To lower these costs, your club can participate
in fundraisers that can help make Convention
more affordable. A more affordable Convention
means more members attending! If you need any
fundraising ideas, feel free to look at the fundraising
manual that can be found on the CyberKey!
I hope to see YOU at DCON 2015! Please feel
free to contact me for any help with fundraising
and membership recruitment as we approach
Convention. Have a joyous holiday season, Bees!
Fundraising is an effective way to enable more
club members to attend. Remember: advisors and
chaperones need to pay for convention fees too!

At Convention, CELEBRATE all of your service to your
home, school, and community; you will be able to

Why Attend DCON?
Reasons YOU Should Go!
Every year that I have gone to District Convention, I’ve
always learned something new. Not only is District
Convention a great way to learn more about Key Club
in general, but it also a great way to be more excited
about being a Key Clubber. They Key Club community
is so broad and it’s always wonderful to see how
passionate members are about Key Club. While at
District Convention, you feel like yourself and no one
is forcing you to be someone you are not. District
Convention was truly an eye-opening experience and
everyone should have the opportunity to attend it.
—Amanda Lam, Santa Teresa, Division 12 South
When I attended DCON my freshman year, I had no idea
that I would’ve had the opportunity to make new friends,
improve on my leadership skills, and truly learn about what
Key Club really is. Seeing all these members all over the CNH
district made me really think that everyone who’s attending
DCON is here to make a difference to their clubs when they
come back. Attending DCON will truly change your life
as a Key Clubber because it shows you the true meaning
of Key Club, and will inspire you to serve for the better!
— Gabby Baniqued, Ann Sobrato, Division 12 South
Attending DCON was one of the best decisions of my life. DCON
is what inspired me to further involve myself in the Key Club
at my school. DCON has taught me that Key Club is expands
way past Division 45 and its clubs. By attending DCON, I was
able to meet new friends that I will never forget. By attending
District Convention, you will be inspired to learn more about
Key Club and it will give you memories that will last a lifetime.
— Jiavanna Wong-Fortunato, Carson, Division 45
Why Attend DCON?
Attending DCON created memories that will last a lifetime.
Originally debating on whether or not to go, I am glad that I
took the opportunity to attend this spectacular event. District
Convention opened my eyes as to how large Key Club is—it
extends way beyond just the club level, way beyond the state
level, and as I learned, way beyond the national level. I met
people from all around the CNH District; being roomed with
students from Southern California made me realize that there
are others all over who feel the same about volunteering as
I do. The workshops offered at DCON taught me information
about Key Club that I never would have known if I were
not in attendance. From the workshops to the general
sessions, DCON was a life-changing event, and it has helped
me become the more outgoing person that I am now.
— Jenna Wong-Fortunato, Carson, Division 45
District Convention. I don’t know exactly where to start, but if I
had to explain this event in one word it would be memorable.
DCON was one of the best experiences I’ve had as a Key Clubber,
and there’s just so much that happened that it’s impossible
to sum it up in one tiny paragraph. Imagine waking up in a
hotel room with friends (of your gender of course) from your
division, and getting ready for a day filled with workshops,
general sessions, and most importantly, Key Clubbers like you.
There are giant rooms around the convention center filled
with Key Clubbers dressed in division or business casual attire
(depending on the day of convention), with everyone excited
to meet new people and learn about The Eliminate Project,
fundraising, their positions, and everything Key Club-related.
BEEing surrounded by passionate Key Clubbers filled me
with happiness and a sense of belonging. Everywhere I went,
I never really felt alone because there was always someone
to meet. In between workshops and sessions I remembered
the reason why we all come together for this club, not just
for friends, but for service and to make a difference in our
communities. I can’t explain this any further without writing
pages about DCON, but it was definitely an eye-opener for me
as a Key Clubber. DCON wasn’t good. It was better than good!
— Emybeth Pascual, Benjamin Holt, Division 27 North
Since it was my first DCON, I didn’t really know what to expect at
first, but I had an amazing first experience. I found the workshops
very informative and helpful, and I enjoyed listening to presenters
talk about their experiences. I met a lot of spirited people that
inspired me to be a better Key Clubber. One of the things I
enjoyed most was listening to the guest speaker because he
was super-entertaining and gave me a lot of motivation. Lastly, I
enjoyed watching all of the LTGs and the district governor retire
and the new ones installed. I’m looking forward to DCON 2015!
— Jemie Quero, Middle College, Division 27 North
As a member, the two most anticipated events of the year are
Fall Rally and DCON. Now that Fall Rally season has officially come to a close, I cannot wait for this year’s District Convention! I have been going to DCON for the past two years,
and every year creates a different atmosphere and different
memories. DCON is a chance for members to continue to get
to know the rest of CNH while also marking the end of a job
well done and embarking on new adventures as their journey
of service continues. It’s an overall amazing experience – one
that every member should have the pleasure of experiencing
at least once. — Lori Cambronero, Narbonne, Division 19 South
The experience at my very first District Convention in 2014 was
indescribable. From the first day to the last day of Convention,
the spirit and compassion of each Key Clubber grew stronger
and stronger. Everyone was so nice and dedicated to Key Club.
They screamed their hearts out for their divisions, schools,
lieutenant governors, and our beloved district board members.
I was blown away by how spirited everyone was. I felt like I was
with my real family because we all had the same desire to serve
our homes, schools, and communities. I was really glad that I had
the opportunity to experience DCON and bring back new ideas
and spirit to my home club and division. I can honestly say that
these experiences have changed my perspective on Key Club and
transformed me from being a neophyte member to a super-active
member and officer. Thank you, CNH, for giving me a chance to
meet so many inspirational members and leaders, and for giving
me a chance to understand the reason why I love Key Club.

As a Circle K member, I really enjoyed participating in the College EXPO
because I was able to inform Key Clubbers, future college students, about
what my college (CSU Sacramento) experience is like along with Circle K
members from all over the district who represent their schools. Overall, I
think many more Circle K members should attend the College EXPO to
represent their home school, meet Key Clubbers, and maybe inspire
someone to go to your college and join your CKI Club!
Lawrence Sahagun | Cal State Sacramento Circle K
I liked that a variety of colleges were present and that the colleges
there all had Circle K clubs, showing a continuation of the Kiwanis
Family's involvement.
Jonny Paguio | Cal Poly Pomona Circle K
When I went to College EXPO, I was in my prime of looking at colleges;
It was the perfect opportunity to look at colleges that acknowledge
Key Club and the Kiwanis Family.
Angela Lazo | Division 7 North
The College EXPO at District Convention 2014 truly was an enjoyable
and enlightening experience. Though I was only a sophomore at the
time, I was already inspired to join Circle K, no matter what the school!
Also, the college students there were very enthusiastic as well. By
attending in the future, I hope to gain more information about normal
college life and the Circle K clubs at other colleges as well.

Cards for Key Players
Vivian Li | Division 44 South | Mira Loma
In honor of Key Club Week’s “Kudos to Key Players”, Mira Loma Key Club decided
to make cards for our school’s staff to show our appreciation for them. We also made a large
card for our sponsoring Sacramento Suburban Kiwanis with thank you messages and signatures
from our members, to show our appreciation for all they do for us. Our goal was to make at
least one card for every one of the staff members at our school, from janitors to P.E. teachers to
counselors to math teachers, since they are all key players who make our school and our club
possible. This meant over 120 cards, which was quite a daunting task, but our members were
able to do it!
During lunchtime in our advisor’s room throughout Key Club Week, from November
3rd to November 7th, members came and made cards thanking teachers that had affected
their lives in any way, big or small. Despite the fast-paced work of creating so many cards, the
atmosphere was full of fun and energy, with Key Clubbers reminiscing about favorite memories
or inside jokes with a certain teacher.
Mira Loma Key Clubbers create hand-made
“Cards for Key Players” during Key Club Week.
The puns were relentless. Each handmade card was signed Mira Loma Key Club, and
was individual written and decorated for a particular teachers. We dropped them off in the
teacher’s mailboxes the next week hoping to brighten their days just a little as we head into the
final stretch before the end of the semester; to our surprise, we saw some cards hanging in their
classrooms the next day! As a very successful project, we hope to continue this tradition every
year, as we have learned how important it is and how big of a difference one can make simply
by expressing one’s gratitude.
Youth Court
Liliana Ortiz | Division 37 East | Orange Glen
Every first and third Tuesday of every month, the Escondido Police Department
holds a Youth Court. Youth Court is a court-like scene, and its goal is to ensure that underage
first-time offenders learn the consequences of their crimes. The cases given are real and the
students that have committed the offenses are actual students from Escondido. Students
can serve on the jury or be an attorney (prosecution or defense) after completing the
required training and “bar exam”. A student can be a part of as many as two, sometime
three, cases in one night. As a result, Youth Court has continuously stayed a popular
service event among our Key Clubbers because the setting is very similar to an actual court.
A “mock trial” is held to provide training for volunteers
willing to become “attorneys” in Youth Court.
The fact that they can help decide the sentence for actual crimes is very exciting
to them. Those who complete the required training to be an attorney find the experience
far more fulfilling and take their roles very seriously, making their best effort in presenting
cases. Jurors like to negotiate sentences according to the information that was given to them.
They find themselves responsible for coming up with a compromise that will best benefit
the offender in learning from their mistake. First-time attendees always come back and
provide positive feedback about their experience and are always willing to go back. Because
of this, Orange Glen Key Club has and will continue to be a part of this great opportunity.

Kiwanis Duck Splash
Tristan Ganzon | Division 3 North | Crescenta Valley
Crescenta Valley High School Key Club members volunteered at the 10th
annual Kiwanis Duck Splash in Glendale, CA. The Kiwanis Incredible Duck Splash
(acronym “KIDS”) is produced by the Kiwanis Club of Glendale, i.e., a “Duck Race.”
5,000 to 100,000 or more yellow rubber ducks “race” to a finish line to earn great prizes
for their “adoptive” owners, matched by a unique number on a tag on the bottom of
each duck. The beneficiaries of the charitable fundraising event are primarily children
and youth in Glendale and neighboring cities throughout Los Angeles County.
The Key Club members at the event received valuable insight on what it’s like to organize
and set up an event that contributes to the community and gives more than just an enjoyable
day at the park. The Duck Splash being held between 10 AM and 2 PM volunteers went above
and beyond and came at 7 AM or earlier, answering their call of duty to serve and volunteer.
At the event, most members took to the booths, which housed many carnival-style
games that gave off a communal fare feeling. Volunteers also, among other things, set
up booths, decorated tables, helped with tickets for the booths, and cleaned up afterward.

a mound of dirt to be removed later on.

Florin Awake-a-Thon
Jeremy Seng | Division 27 North | Ronald E. McNair
Key Clubbers keep themselves and each other
awake until seven the next morning for a cause.
There are few things that can separate a teenager’s head from a pillow. One: a softer
pillow. Two: food. Three: a call from mother nature, but the fourth and most surprising–is
to support The Eliminate Project. That’s what Key Clubbers did when they assembled for
Florin High School’s 5th Annual Awake-a-Thon, the only time of the year when teenagers
willingly pull an all-nighter. Each pledging $30, over a hundred intrepid Key Clubbers
stayed up until 7 AM in the morning to support their newborn brothers from differing
mothers. These children all suffered from neonatal tetanus, a generalized form of tetanus that
occurs to infants in developing countries. Fun fact: tetanus is a bacterial disease that causes
muscle spasms and if left untreated, killing the victim in the last hours of their life with
EXCRUCIATING pain! Actually, that’s not a fun fact. So, staying up for 12 hours is easypeasy-shmeezy, sure, but toss in a rally, a showing of The Grudge, and a dance to top it off and
you have one great day (or night) to spend with one’s Key Club ohana. Florin’s 5th Annual
Awake-A-Thon was a memorable night, and I hope that “bear” will be more people next year!

look at what clubs did for the October Focus: Trick or Treat for UNICEF!
Kiss the Pig
UNICEF Halloween Bake Sale
Caroline Kodama |22H | Iolani
Vanessa Banh | D46N
Iolani Key Club officers baked Halloween-themed treats such as
spider cupcakes, pumpkin mocha, monster cookies, and more!
Treats were given out during the club meeting for donations.
Members could guess the number of candy corns in a jar for $1 per
guess, and the closest entry won the jar of candy. This project
impacted the club positively: freshmen and seniors bonded over
games, and the club passed the fundraising goal to raise a total of
$242. Each member averaged more than a $1.80 donation for The
Eliminate Project!
Five contestants were chosen to represent the division. Each of
these contestants received a personalized box that was presented at
every DCM and Kiwanis meeting, starting all the way back in
June. The boxes with the most money meant that that particular
contestant had to kiss the pig! This project was extremely
successful; Division 46 North was able to fundraise as much as
$500 for The Eliminate Project!

The Spotlight on Service Program aims
to promote the Key Club District and
International service initiatives. Each
month is dedicated to a specific focus
that clubs are encouraged to accomplish
for the month. Remember, our District
Goal is for every club to conduct
5 service projects every month.
December Focus l Providing Basic Needs
December, a month filled with music, gifts, fun, and laughter as family and friends
gather together. It is the month for appreciating all that had occurred within this year,
acknowledging the sacrifices we had made, and wrapping up the 2015 year. This
month's Spotlight on Service focus is Providing Basic Needs. There are many people in
our very own community who lack the shelter, materials, and simply the care necessary
for daily living. Let us focus this month on clothing drives, toy drives, and canned food
drives. Still wish to do more? Another idea is to have a gift basket contest to see which
group can create the best care package to donate to those in need!
Look for more events to do in the December Service Projects Guide. Also, don’t forget to
join the Service Projects Reflector to follow up on messages, monthly SOSP updates, and

District Elections
Also known as PIE, the Policy, Int’l Business, & Elections Committee aims to educate you, the
members on the three mentioned focuses by providing slices of information on these areas.
NOTE that this procedure is for both District Executive Candidates and International
Endorsement Candidates.
1. When will elections take place?
Elections for District Executive positions will take place in April at District Convention.
Candidates running for a District Executive Position should run for endorsement at
their Division Conclave.
2. Are there any pre-election functions that the members should be attending?
Commonly, a “Meet & Greet” is held on the first day of District Convention

Overview: An informal, open session for members to personally talk to
candidates.

Purpose: To give members a better understanding of candidates’ goals and
qualifications.

3.
What will members be doing? Talking to candidates and asking questions to
prepare for caucusing!
Is there a specific seating for delegates and non-delegates?
Both delegates and non-delegates hear speeches and have the opportunity to
ask caucus questions. Only delegates may participate in the House of Delegates,
but non-delegates can observe quietly in a separate spectator seating section.
4. Before caucus begins, are rules/procedures/other information shared with the
attendees?
The Policy, International, and Elections Committee hosts the election and releases
guidelines for caucus questions in the Candidates’ Booklet. Current Lt. Governors
and/or District Board members moderate the caucus rooms.
5. Is there an introduction of candidates or list read off before the elections of the
candidates?
Candidates create their own literature (1 page) to be compiled in the annuallyreleased Candidates’ Booklet. Candidates are announced as they enter each
speech/caucus room.
6. What do the candidates do at caucus?
Candidates present a 3-5 minute speech and respond to caucus questions for 4
minutes.
7. During questioning, who is allowed to ask questions?
Any Key Clubber is permitted to ask questions. Adults are not allowed to ask
questions. Any inappropriate questions will be disregarded; these may include, but
are not limited to, gender, race, etc.
8. What are the rules during elections?
Only one candidate can be in the speech/caucus room at a time. Members are
not permitted to touch candidates. Members can only enter and exit the room in
between speeches.
9. After caucus, are there more functions?
House of Delegates is held after caucus. A Nominating Conference is held if there
are more than 2 candidates running for office, in which delegates vote for 2
candidates to advance to the next round.

Overview: The House of Delegates members will listen to speeches and answers
to questions from each of the candidates and vote by ballot for the candidate
of their choice. Questions from the floor may be allowed at the discretion of the
Governor, who moderates the House.

Purpose: House of Delegates provides a forum for the candidates for each office
to present their final message to the District delegates.

Who attends? Delegates do.
10. Explain the voting procedure.
Delegates vote for one candidate immediately after the speech/caucusing via
secret ballot or vote “No Confidence” if they believe that none of the candidates is
fit to be elected.
11. When will the results be announced?
Results will be announced in the second evening of general session.
12. When will the elected officials begin their term?
Elects officially begin their terms immediately following Installation at District
Convention.

BEE RECOGNIZED
John Baik
19 South | Historian
“As one of two historians in North High Key Club, I took pictures of volunteer events, DCM's, and banquets. After taking the pictures, I
upload them to Facebook to record these memories. I have taken over 500 photos and occasionally recorded videos of special
moments. I also made a Star Wars promotional video for the school bulletin to maximize awareness of Key Club. Through an editing
program called Adobe After Effects, I was able to create the iconic light saber. But it was much harder than I initially thought. In the
editing program, I had to manually draw the shape of the light saber for each frame of the video. In total there were about 1,600 frames,
meaning that I had to draw the light saber for the 1,600 pictures of the video. This process took a month and a half to completely finish.
Although there was a great struggle editing the video, the triumph was even greater. We accumulated about 150 new members on Club
Rush Day. Watch the video here!”

THE ELIMINATE PROJECT:
DISTRICT / INTERNATIONAL UPDATE
Compiled by the Kiwanis Family &
Foundation Committee and the
Policy, Int’l Business, and Elections
Committee
The Eliminate Project is a global campaign to erase Maternal/Neonatal Tetanus (MNT) from the world
by 2015. Kiwanis International and UNICEF have joined forces to eliminate Maternal/Neonatal Tetanus
through advocacy, fundraising, and volunteering. Kiwanis International has pledged to fundraise $110
million dollars in order to eliminate MNT from the world. Maternal/Neonatal Tetanus is a swift and
painful killer disease that has killed 49,000 newborns in 2013 alone; a baby dies every 11 minutes due
to MNT. A significant number of women also die to due to maternal tetanus every year. Maternal and
neonatal tetanus represents a very high proportion of the total tetanus disease burden mainly due to
inadequate immunization services, limited or absent clean delivery services, and improper
post-partum cord care. The majority of mothers and newborns dying of tetanus live in Africa and
Southeast Asia, generally in areas where women are poor, have little access to health care, and have
little information about safe delivery practices.
The California-Nevada-Hawaii Key Club District is committed to donate $500,000 to The Eliminate
Project by the end of 2015. One of our district goal is FAMILY, having each member within our district
save 5 families (only $9) from MNT. As of November 13, 2014, the CNH District has fundraised a total
of $233,725.70 for The Eliminate Project. We are almost halfway to our goal! As an international
Kiwanis Family, we have fundraised over $71 million dollars for The Eliminate Project out of
the$110 million dollars needed to eliminate MNT from the face of the world. We have eliminated
MNT from 35 countries! There are currently 24 countries left with MNT. Thank you for your
continuing efforts to eliminate MNT and protect the connection between a mother and her children!
As of November 2014

Getting your Sponsoring Kiwanis Club
Involved with District Convention
Compiled by the Kiwanis Family & Foundation Committee
As the 69th CNH District Convention (DCON) is soon approaching in March 2015 in
Anaheim, California, there are a lot of logistics to figure out and planning to do in
order to make this memorable trip possible! Planning takes a lot of work, so getting
your sponsoring Kiwanis Club involved can make the whole planning process a lot
easier! Here are some tips for you to use while getting your sponsoring Kiwanis Club
involved so that the planning process can run smoothly and efficiently!
2. Fundraising
1. Finding Chaperones

Ask the Kiwanians from your sponsoring
Kiwanis Club to be your chaperones.
Asking early never hurts! (Note: Please
be mindful of the new gender policy for
chaperones and the chaperone to Key
Clubbers ratio)

Make sure that they filled out the
Kiwanis background check if they
haven’t
already!
(Note:
The
background check must be renewed
every two years, so please check if it is
up to date!)

Remember to thank the chaperones!
They just spent 3 days out of their own
time to make this event possible
for your club, so please remember
to thank them. Write them a card
or a letter!
3. Organizing Transportation
 If you don’t live near Anaheim, discuss with
your sponsoring Kiwanis on how is your club
getting to District Convention. Organizing
transportation early is the way to go! (Note:
Key Clubbers who live near Anaheim can
find their own transportation, however, this is
just a tip for those who live further away!)


Ask your Kiwanis Club if you could have a
Kiwanis Takeover to fundraise money to
make District Convention more affordable
for your members. (Kiwanis Takeover is an
event when members of a sponsored Key
Club attend a Kiwanis meeting and
conduct a bake sale to raise money! It’s
also a fantastic way get to know your
Kiwanians!)
Have interested attendees from your club
provide baked goods for this fundraiser.
 Collaborate with your sponsoring Kiwanis
Club to see if they could help with
fundraising for your club’s District
Convention trip.
4. The Registration Process

Discuss with your sponsoring
Kiwanis Club about who will be
registering all of your clubs
attendees, dealing with money,
and other registration processes!
The Communications & Marketing Committee presents…
Using the “World Wide Web” for
marketing your club events and/or
programs can prove to be very useful.
Everyone uses the internet!
Utilize tools such as club websites, email
reflectors, and Facebook groups!
example
Google Reflector/Website:
 Create a club reflector and
send out frequent reminders.
Keep the members you serve
updated
 Create a club website and
post photos, testimonials, and
weekly agendas
example
https://beekeyclub.com/agendas#
example
Facebook
 Facebook is a good way to
market events for groups of all
sizes
 Make an event page and
invite members
 Post pictures, videos, or even
polls to find out the opinions of
members
Posting on social media can be a great way to get the word out! However, it is important to
remember that social media should be utilized appropriately. For more information, contact the

Educational Opportunities at District Convention
District Convention is right around the corner so make sure to start planning now! A great
way to start is to first off plan what seminars you would like to attend. This publication will
help you decide on what seminar to attend and the benefits of going to seminars.
Officer Seminars: Are you an incoming Officer? Then make sure to go to your
respective position’s seminar! Learn everything about the upcoming terms and how to
succeed in your position. Be able to learn new skills and ideas from the past officers and be
able to share ideas from other officers.
Hear what some officers have to say about their Officer seminar:
“The Officer Seminars at
DCON really inspired me to
motivate the members as a
President. – D21 Officer,
Jason Ly-Lee
“I believe it was clearer for
the officers as to what
information they needed to
know for the term.” – D44S
LTG Cynthia Huynh
Not an Officer?
No worries! There are plenty of other seminars you can attend during this convention. Learn
how to apply for member recognition for the next term, earn rewards, how to apply for a
scholarship and many more! Learn about the general idea of Key Club and other
leadership skills throughout the different seminars. Make sure to choose the seminars that
would best fit your interest.
See what the buzz was about at other seminars:
The seminars really helped me
on improving on little things,
such as sending emails and
being a more efficient leader.
D19S – Vincent Sung
During the seminars at
DCON, I learned about
professionalism and a few
pointers on public speaking.
D04N – Nina Duong
Why should I attend DCON Seminars? To gain more knowledge! Take advantage of
all of the great information being shared. It’s also a great way to make new friends
and bond with other members in the District. You can learn and share different
ideas and experiences with members throughout California, Nevada, and Hawaii.
