The 76th Annual International <strong>Key</strong> Club Convention (<strong>ICON</strong>) in Indianapolis,<br />

Indiana was truly the experience of a lifetime. From June 24-28,<br />

<strong>Key</strong> <strong>Clubber</strong>s from around the world gathered to make new friends, to vote<br />

on legislature, to learn more about the organization and its opportunities in<br />

workshops, to elect the international board, and much more.<br />

This year’s convention was unique in that <strong>Key</strong> Club shared its convention<br />

with other branches of the Kiwanis Family- Circle K, Aktion Club, and<br />

Kiwanis– in order to celebrate Kiwanis’ 100 years of service. Throughout<br />

the convention, the four organizations came together for several ceremonies.<br />

At the House of Delegates, <strong>Key</strong> Club members voted to pass proposed<br />

amendment 1, w hich restricted the formation of any future <strong>Key</strong><br />

Clubs or KIWINS in schools where one of these organizations already exist.<br />

However, proposed amendment 2, which involved the optional formation of<br />

a Webmaster position for clubs, was not passed. Finally, proposed amendment<br />

3 w as passed, thereby officially recognizing the position of<br />

District Webmaster.<br />

The convention had numerous fun aspects, including a baseball game<br />

just across the street from the convention center, a dance, fireworks, a<br />

Hellogoodbye and A Great Big Pile of Leaves concert, a Pancake Lunch for<br />

The Eliminate Project, a pony, and more! (See pictures below.)<br />
