Key Clubbers Head to DCON

By Gaonou Lo

Every March, Wisconsin and Upper Michigan (WI-UM) Key Club members have the opportunity to attend the Key Club District Convention in Green Bay, WI.  The District Convention (DCON) provides multiple workshops that will help many students strengthen their leadership and volunteer skills and learn more about what Key Club is all about.  Some of the workshops this year include Going Green, UNICEF, Key Club 101, and many more.  There are so many workshops to choose from, there is even a workshop that will teach you how to salsa dance! 

This is Nicole Cornell’s fourth year going to DCON and she finds it fascinating how every year is a different experience and she learns something new every year.

Each year, DCON has a different theme and each district has the opportunity to be creative and decorate their hotel hallway using their theme.  This year the theme is superheroes and Newman Catholic was given the theme Fantastic Four.  This is a convention, so business or professional outfits are required.  However, there is always a dance at DCON that allows students to dance and relax!
