Spotlight on Service Program

The SOSP theme for December is “Providing Basic Needs” because the CNH District believes that Key Clubbers can make a difference by hosting events such as toy & clothing drives, volunteering at shelters and soup kitchens, or giving a family a great holiday memory. This December, help provide families with the basic needs to survive the majority of us take for granted every day.  

Please remember to make time to give to those who are less fortunate during the winter season. In California, Nevada, and Hawaii alone, there are almost 541,000 children who will not get to spend the holidays in a home, partially due to the major devastation that was caused by the Camp, Woolsey, and other wildfires.

DCON Presenter Applications

"My name is Christopher Kao and I proudly serve and your CNH Membership Development & Education Chair! As part of my duties, I am responsible for the success of workshops at DCON 2019. Are you passionate for service? Do you hold any skills in presenting? Do you like hyping up the crowd?

If you answered yes to any of those questions, apply to present at District Convention! This is your opportunity to present that one topic that you're passionate about, to share your valuable experience with members from across the district, and to leave a lasting impact in CNH!

Please join me in my goal for reaching out to the best DCON workshop hosts possible! If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know. Thank you and good luck!
