[Deirdre Clark]

DCON Message from Governor Sneha Bhat:

Hey Everyone!

Have you registered for Capital District CKI Convention yet? Well what 
are you waiting for?? You can register online 
(http://www.cdcki.org/events/DCON_reg.htm 
<http://www.cdcki.org/events/DCON_reg.htm>) NOW!

Also, don't forget to call the Hyatt Fair Lakes at (703) 818-1234 to 
reserve your hotel rooms now itself (you can also reserve them online 
here: http://fairlakes.hyatt.com/groupbooking/fairlcapk2008 
<http://fairlakes.hyatt.com/groupbooking/fairlcapk2008>). Rooms have 
been blocked at a discounted rate of $89/night until MIDNIGHT JANUARY 
24th (that's tomorrow!!)! Remember to ask for "Capital District CKI 
Convention" rates. Please don't wait until after January 24th to reserve 
your rooms, or you will NOT be able to get a room at this much lower price!!

If you still haven't registered and need more reasons to come to DCON, 
here are just ten of the MANY reasons you don't want to miss this 
Convention :)

10) President's Banquet and Ball: Celebrate with the rest of the 
districts as we present awards and recognition to CKI members and clubs 
who have worked hard this year! We will also have a Talent Showcase 
featuring your fellow Capital CRABS (or yourself!) as well as an amazing 
dance following the Banquet!

9) Workshops that you will ENJOY: Informative, but not boring like all 
the lecture classes you sleep through...those are the types of workshops 
you will see at DCON 2008! From information about Six Cents and UNICEF 
to Working with Key Club and even a session on How to Recruit Guys to 
CKI, you will really enjoy what's in store this year!

8) Amazing Meals during Sessions :) enough said!

7) DISTRICT SERVICE PROJECT and even more opportunities for service: Get 
involved and make an impact as we create ICU care bags and wall 
decorations for patients at the UVA Children's Hospital and the King's 
Daughter's Hospital on Saturday during the Service Project.

6) See the Anthology and the District Fundraising Initiative in Action: 
Support us as we raise $10,000 to build the first ever library in the 
San Francisco de Opalaca region of Honduras! We will have anthologies at 
Convention for you to see and buy as well as bookmarks and the 
opportunity to see it in action!

5) Meet your International Representative, Kristen Reed, in person: Been 
receiving tons of e-mails and really cute newsletters through the 
Sub-Regional reflector? Then I'm sure you're interested to meet the fun 
and exciting person (if you haven't already met her at FTR) behind these 
e-mails ;) Kristen will be at our District Convention, so take this 
chance to talk to her, listen to what's really going on Internationally 
in our organization, and attend one of her amazing workshops which she's 
planning for us! ( P.S. If you're not on the Sub-Region reflector and 
want to be, just shoot me an e-mail and let me know!)

4) Win a T-Shirt Quilt, Play Penny Wars, or even Pie a District Officer! 
There will be many contests and competitions going on this weekend... 
including a quilt made of CKI t-shirts which will be raffled off at an 
amazing price, the chance to play Capital District Penny Wars, and you 
can even watch/participate in a contest for clubs who turned in all 
their MRFs to get a chance to pie the District Board Member of your choice!

3) MAGIC! MAGIC! MAGIC! Opening Session entertainment this year is going 
to be honored magician Michael Taggert. Watch as he performs all kinds 
of crazy magic acts and even volunteer to be performed on! :)

2) Elect the 2008-2009 District Board of Officers! Don't you want to 
have a say in who your Lt. Governor, Secretary-Treasurer, Editor, and 
Governor will be for the upcoming CDCKI administrative year? Come to 
DCON and participate in the House of Delegates or attend the many caucus 
sessions (open to non-delegates as well) and get involved!

1) It's DCON! That means that it's the perfect opportunity to meet 
Capital CRABS from around the District and make memories that will last 
a lifetime!!

Questions?? Let me know!!
