REGION TRAINING CONFERENCE REGISTRATION:
Region Training Conference registration is officially open!
Region Training Conference (RTC) is an annual overnight training event hosted by Regions 9, 15, & 17 to train attendees on a variety of topics that they can bring back to their club or apply to their everyday life! Attendees will also be able to participate in a variety of activities including campfire bonding, listening to keynote speakers, and making unforgettable memories. RTC will be from October 11th, 12:00 PM - October 12th, 12:00 PM (arrival & registration opens at 11:00 AM) at Camp Jones Gulch in La Honda, CA.
Interested in attending?? Check out the flier below for more information on registration and contact your club president to register with your club! Note that members should NOT be registering themselves. Clubs will register all at once so please ensure you are following the correct procedures when registering.Ā
FALL RALLY SPIRIT PREPS:
With Fall Rally North (FRN) being just around the corner on October 18th, spirit preps are coming right up as well! For those who do not know, the biggest and most important aspect of FRN is our spirit battle. In two separate sessions, divisions will compete against each other for the prized spirit stick, given out to whichever division has the best spirit and chants. If we want to take home that victory, it is essential to come to our spirit sessions and learn the chants directly from our spirit coordinators/committee.Ā
If you plan on attending FRN, you must attend at least ONE spirit session. If you are unable to attend any, please reach out to your club officers to let them know and be sure to learn the chants on your own once we release them!
The dates (one tentative) for our spirit nights are listed below! Each night will also have a specific theme and optional dress code. Another fun twist we are adding this year is that whoever the spirit coordinators and I determine as the most spirited member at that session will also receive a prize to be revealed soonā¦!
