DCON Recap This March, the Hyatt on Main was transformed into Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and it was a magical experience! The district leadership convention theme of Harry Potter lived up to expectations by providing education and fun similar to what would be seen at Hogwarts. The first night began with the decorating of floors that corresponded with the house that each Division represented. Later in the night, the convention officially kicked off with the opening session and the keynote address by speaker Michael McGowan. His message of being passionate and enthusiastic in whatever you do helped to inspire the Key Clubbers that attended to have an even bigger commitment to service. After the opening session, Key Clubbers attended workshops on subjects from board duties to general information on Key Club. Finally, the night was capped off with the dance in the convention center along with a fundraiser for The Eliminate Project. The next day was even busier than the last! It contained caucusing for District Board elections, awards, more workshops, House of Delegates, where the voting delegates for each club elected the new board, and another dance! The weekend came to a close on Sunday morning at the closing session, where the 2014-2015 District Board was retired and the 2015-2016 District Board was installed. The weekend helped to reinforce the idea for Key Clubbers in the Wisconsin-Upper Michigan District that service beyond measure is man’s greatest treasure. ICON Preview The 2015 Key Club International Convention in Indianapolis will be very busy, but a lot of fun can be expected as Key Club celebrates its 90th anniversary!

Key Club Major Emphasis: The ELIMINATE Project The partnership with Key Club and The ELIMINATE Project may be in the final stretch, but that doesn’t mean that it is over! There is still time to join the fight with Kiwanis and UNICEF against maternal and neonatal tetanus. 60,000 newborn children die every year due to neonatal tetanus, and a significant number of women die of maternal tetanus each year. In order to eliminate this disease from the Earth, 129 million mothers and their future babies have to be immunized. In order to do this, Kiwanis and UNICEF hope to raise $110 million. More details can be found on the Key Club International website.
