Hope you all had a good Spring Break! DCON, district convention, was absolutely AMAZING!

We managed to take home a couple awards: Distinguished Club, an award for having a website and an award for turning in a whole plethora of paper work, credit on the paper work goes to Brian.

That was the end of the last key club year but instead of being inactive until next school year we jump right back in!

This weekend we will be volunteering at one of Oakland’s Easter egg hunts hosted at the Dunsmuir Mansion, if you went to winter-ball it’s the same place.

Jobs for volunteers include and are not limited to: Hiding eggs General Chaperon

Here is the website : http://www.dunsmuir-hellman.com/calendar.html

This event is not just our key club! we will be working hand in hand with other Key Clubs in the area along with other volunteers, all of whom will probably be around our age!

Come mix and mingle with various people from around Oakland and enjoy all that easter has to offer!

We will be meeting in front of the high school at 9:20 and hopefully we will leave by 9:30

the event last from 10:00-4:00 with snacks provided. It is highly recommended that you bring your own food as you may get hungry during the 6 hours we will be volunteering.

If you are interested please begin by asking your parents if they are interested in Driving us to and from the event, we will unable to serve the community without their gracious help. Then reply back to this email so we know you are coming along with if your parents can drive, and if they can, how many people you can take.

Well thats pretty much it for this week, enjoy your first week back at school!

Due to several factors we were unable to coordinate any events over the break and we’re sorry, but lets get back to it.

This weekend we will be cleaning up Lake Merrit. We will meet in front of the school at 9:30 please email back and tell us that your going or we might end up leaving you with no ride in front of the school and that would be no fun.

This year’s District Convention Meeting, hence forth DCON, will be the second weekend of spring break, April 15-17. This years location is a conference hall in Anaheim, thats the city with Disneyland, and to my understanding the hall is pretty much right next door to said theme park. We will hopefully be heading down a day early to fully enjoy the convenient location of the park and enjoy a day at Disneyland/California adventure on the 14th.

One thing to note for DCON is a 20 hour community service requirement, through us, to go. Here is a link to more information http://www.cnhkeyclub.org/events/district-convention
