The Regional Training Conference, or RTC, will be held on Oct. 22, 2011, at Cimarron-Memorial High School from 8 a.m. – 8 p.m. Current and new members of Key Club will work on Service Learning Projects and attend three different workshops: team building, leadership, and volunteering.
“This is my first year going to RTC, and I’m looking forward to meeting other regions and having fun,” says freshman Brook Ounphonchareune.
Each division will learn new cheers that are performed throughout the day and at the annual Spirit Battle.
“I am determined to win first place in the cheer battle, and especially because this year’s theme for RTC is Harry Potter, SWCTA better come through with spirit,” says Key Club Secretary Jon Dulay.
Members are required to pay a $25 fee to attend; that includes their lunch and dinner. The night concludes with a dance from 6pm – 8pm.

The members were able to choose their own designs when decorating their pumpkins. “I wanted to win the best pumpkin [award],” Maniego said. “I tried painting Starry Night by Vincent Van Gogh and I feel that it turned out pretty good despite the short amount of time we were given.”](https://southwestshadow.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/club_preview_nov_11.jpg)
