KEY CLUB

Greetings to the MIGHTY MIGHTY MIGHTY MIGHTY D2! ,

I'm sure that by now, we've all heard about the recently-held Key Club

District Convention in Malvern, St. Elizabeth. Now, for those who thought

that the convention was held at the Bethlehem Moravian Teacher’s College,

you're partly correct. This year's convention had a new twist to it - most

guests slept away from the convention site - either at a "Hostel" (Sounds a

lot like "Hotel", doesn't it? hmm) or at Munro College (yes, the boarding

school). So, each time we had to go back to our dorm rooms, we had to take

the shuttle bus back to the room. Keep in mind that there were over 300

Key Clubbers at this year’s convention who had to be transported with 3

coasters (each holding about 35 persons... do the Math).

This change from the usual "everyone sleeps on the convention site"

came about due to a fault of the administrators of the Bethlehem Teacher's

College (No Doubt!!) Apparently, they "were unable to" clear the dorms of

the students for the same weekend that they rented the campus for. So they

had to organize for us to stay else where...and the only option that could

hold the majority of the guests was the Munro College, where the conditions

were undesirable...to be honest. Nevertheless, when DA Navara gave

the ultimatum of ending DCON a day early OR toughing out the conditions

and go the full duration of convention, most persons chose the latter. So...we

went on with DCON 2011 .

Saturday began at 5AM . For one reason or the other, we didn't have

our service walk, so we went straight to the meat of the day. We had our

District of Jamaica: Division 2

workshops for officers AND THEN headed into Caucusing (Each division goes

to a room and the candidates go to each and present their election platforms

as best as possible). As we know, all three persons contesting the posts of

DST & Governor were D2-ites . Therefore... they had all the possible

support from their home division. House of Delegates was then called and

voting began! I wasn’t a delegate myself but I heard that this session was

looooonnng, but it ended in time for dinner. Subsequently, we moved into

the talent show which had several tantalizing performances, especially that

of our talented Violinist from Campion College, Kathryn Hoo and Keanu

Daley from Ardenne High School who copped Gold and Bronze

respectively.

Malvern's "The Building"

After the talent show, the shuttle buses took us back to our dormitories

to get ready for The Governor's Ball...the highlight of everyone's weekend.

On entering ‘The Building’ (Self-Named because of the song selections of

the DJ. ‘Twas obvious what side of the Border he stood on), everyone came

out and partied like there was no tomorrow ... Literally.

Excitement at Munro

It is alleged that the first night at Munro, the Cornwall College

Boys were floured, and so had planned to retaliate against EVERYONE who

they suspected (the boys schools) to be culprits with some watery dumpling

mix. Luckily, the district board got wind of their plans and calmed the scene

before the situation escalated.

Closing Ceremony

On Sunday, the main & highly-anticipated event was the Closing

Ceremony. The votes from House of Delegates were tallied and the winners

announced. The distribution of the annual awards was also done. I have

taken the liberty of listing ALL the relevant awards below (of course, by

relevant I mean pertaining to our division). For all those who are interested,

I have attached a copy of the entire PowerPoint Presentation of Awards from

DCON 2011. Enjoy!

On-behalf of all schools in Division II, I’d like to take this moment to

congratulate all awardees, notably: our Governor Elect Jodie-Ann Dunn, the

District Secretary Treasurer Elect Romona Morgan - both

from Campion College AND the District Bulletin Editor Elect Christopher

Harper from Ardenne High School. You all have continued the tradition of

excellence which the division boasts.
