The Jonathan Law Key Club is preparing for the 74th Annual New England and Bermuda District Key Club Educational Conference, also known as DECON.

The conference will be held at the Sheraton Hotel at Monarch Place and Marriott Downtown in Springfield, Massachusetts from March 31 to April 2. 

Senior Caroline Doyle is the District Governor of Key Club and is working hard to make this trip the best it can be.

“We have been preparing for the trip by working on our contest entry submissions,” Doyle said. “We created committees, and we’ve been working these last few months on entries such as scrapbook, video, essay and more.”

This will be one of Doyle’s last responsibilities as a member of the club.

“I’m super excited for the conference,” Doyle said. “This is my last DECON, and it marks the end of my term as Governor. I’m so excited to be reunited with friends from around New England, and have a great end of my Key Club journey.”

Everyone in Key Club has certain roles to make the overall club’s success even greater.

“As an editor for the key club I write monthly newsletters about what we’ve accomplished during that month,” senior Maya Rosado said. “All the officers work together during the meetings and I work specifically on helping create the scrapbook for DECON.”

Key Club members want the same outcome for this trip, and that is to be successful.

“My goals for DECON are to come out of the trip with a lot of awards, and to hopefully do well in every category,” Rosado said. 

Each of the club’s members are making preparations for their team and for themselves to have their most successful trip yet.
