the House of Delegates (HOD) 2007. However, these two individuals must be
certified before they can participate. In order for clubs to ensure the
certification of their delegates, clubs must complete a *Delegate
Certification Form<http://www.cdcki.org/events/dcon/2007%2520Delegate%2520Certification%2520Form.pdf>

alternates (if applicable), but it also requires signatures by the Club
President and Club Kiwanis Advisor, so please do not put this off until the
last minute! Forms can be found at the following site
(http://www.cdcki.org/events/dcon/2007%20Delegate%20Certification%20Form.pdf)

*INTERESTED IN RUNNING FOR DISTRICT OFFICE??*
Do you want to be more involved in the Capital District of CKI? Well, then
YOU could be our next District Governor, Secretary-Treasurer, Editor, or the
Lieutenant Governor for your division! If you are interested, or even if you
just want more information regarding the various positions, please take a
look at the District Officer/Committee Chair Candidacy Packet (

to ask me/your division's LTG for more info.

*SHOW OFF YOUR TALENT!* Can you sing? dance? play an instrument? If you
answered YES to any of the previous questions, NOW is the time to head to
the following site (
http://www.cdcki.org/events/dcon/2007%20Talent%20Showcase%20Entry%20Form.pdf)
to fill out an entry form for the 2007 CDCKI Talent Showcase! Selected acts
will have the opportunity to perform at the Presidents' Banquet on Saturday
evening, so if you (or someone you know!) has any talent, start getting an
act ready for DCON.
