Pete Vercouteren, DCON 2018

Pete attended the district convention with Dawn Scannell and Donna Freund in La Crosse. This was the 100th Annual Convention. It started with a Friday night reception. Pete was interested to find out about help starting a Circle K at UW–Green Bay. He attended a seminar on “Motivating the Middle.” The key take away was that service project resulted in member growth and the community benefited. Donna attended the “President Elect” session. Dawn did the “membership session.” Pete also attended “My Kiwanis Journey through the Eyes of a child.” Mark your calendars for future district conventions. It is the best way to get re-motivated about Kiwanis. The 2019 International convention is in Disney. Specials thanks goes to Pete, Donna and Dawn for attending the convention.
