It has been an inconceivable honor to serve as your District Governor for the 2017 -2018 term, and it is with absolute pleasure that I welcome you to our 80th District Education and Leadership Conference. DCON is an occasion for training, recognition, education, and, perhaps most importantly, celebration! From enrapturing speakers, to engaging workshops, to esteemed awards, to exemplary scholarships, to electing the subsequent leaders of our district, I am positive that this weekend will be an unforgettable experience that will leave you in- spired, enlightened, and desiring more, whether it be your first confer- ence or final one. This year’s District Education and Leadership Conference is a very special one for all of us. Thank you for joining us in Celebrating 80 Years of Key Service as the oldest district in all of Key Club International. We are truly fortunate to be a part of the Mighty, Mighty Florida District and host one of the largest conferences in all of Key Club International with nearly 2,200 attendees, making it my sincere hope that you depart this weekend with some newfound friends. Thank you again for all of the service you have done this year. Whether it be for The Eliminate Project, The HEALTH Project, or another initiative, every life that you have touched has made a genuine difference. Have a wondrous, celebratory weekend and remainder of the school year! Yours in service, passion, and love, Felanté Charlemagne 6 DCON Chair’s Welcome Hello Celebrators! I formally welcome you to the Florida District’s 80th Annual District Education and Leadership Conference.

We have a lot of sessions in store for you this weekend including but not limited to the: Circle K Pool Party, Service Fair, Awards Ceremony, Talent Show and so much more I couldn’t list them on this page. I am also pleased to announce that we have some amazing and inspirational people in our presence this weekend like our Key Club International President William Sims, Key Club International Trustee Jared Dutko and who could forget our Keynote Speaker Erin Fischer. Lastly, please remember that there are other guests and conferences at this hotel. Be sure to follow all rules and regulations outlined in the Code of Conduct that you signed before coming to DCON and act how a true Key Clubber would. I know you all will enjoy this conference and learn valuable things to take back to your home clubs. Have a fantastic celebratory weekend and don’t be shy! Yours in service and friendship, Rebecca Yap 7 International Trustee Welcome Hello Florida District! Welcome to this, your 80th Annual District Education and Leadership Conference! Whether this is your first time attending, last time attending, or both, I hope that you will take advantage of the incredible opportunities offered to you this weekend. During your time in Orlando, you will be given the chance to hear em- powering speakers, elect your new district leaders, as well as to attend enriching workshops. Through these experiences you’ll gain a better understanding of Key Club and your own leadership abili- ties. I can’t wait to spend my weekend celebrating you and all of your successes! You will undoubtedly be surprised at how fast the confer- ence goes by. Hopefully you’ll be leaving with more friends, more knowledge of Key Club, and a better insight into your personal leadership style. If you’re an underclassmen, I encourage you to hold these memories close before you know it, you’ll be attending your final DCON; take a lot of photos, and most of all, enjoy your- self! Serving as the Florida District’s International Trustee has been the honor of my lifetime. I feel incredibly fortunate to work with such an incredible district with equally incredible leaders.
