Divisional Training Conference!

Hey Key Clubbers!

This past Saturday, June 18th, the Divisional Training Conference took place! This event was hosted by divisions 8, 8A, 9, 10, and 11. DTC was basically a mini LTC in which these 5 divisions bonded through ice breakers and by participating in different workshops. The workshops ranged from Photography to the District Project, Icing Smiles, to different workshops about the roles of officers and members. This event had a total of 3 workshops, lunch, K-Fair, and an opening and closing ceremony. Most of the District Board was present and all the funds gained at DTC were given to a little girl named Sophie. Sophie has an illness that prevents her from completing tasks normal 3 year-olds would complete. Treatment for this is approximately $4,000, but with the $10 fee from DTC, we managed to raise almost half of the costs for treatment!! Above, you can see all the members that attended DTC. We all had a great time at this event and we hope that many more members attend next year.

Inspiration

One Monday afternoon, I was sluggishly walking home after a tiresome day of school, when all of the sudden, I saw these two girls patiently standing behind a table with a plethora of pamphlets, all relating to Islam. I being naturally curious, approached them, and asked if I could have a Qu'ran.

Though looking exhausted and drained from standing outside for what seemed like hours in 80 degree weather, they received me with eagerness and welcoming hospitality. One of the girls told me that they were driven to do this because of all the stereotypes by the media of Muslims and of the Islamic religion. I was so amazed at the commitment these two girls made in taking time out of their day to educate the public about Islam that I took a picture. Though my conversation with them was brief, nevertheless, it altered my mood for the entire day. It is incredibly virtuous for these two young people to take time out of their day to do something they're passionate about and take an active stance in their community. More young people should do something like this.
