DCON What is it?

DCON is Indiana’s yearly district convention. It is a ways off but I want to give you all a heads up, because if you’re anything like me you have to plan in advance for things. This years DCON will be held at Embassy Suites in Indianapolis. The date is the last weekend in February. The rough cost of this years DCON will be $125. It will be a really fun filled event. If you happen to not like the way DCON has been you have the power to change it! All you have to do is apply to be the DCON chair on the Indiana District board!
