August DCM

JH, Pacifica, D42W

On August 20, four Pacifica cabinet members attended the August DCM that was hosted at the kidSTREAM building in Camarillo. Our LTG Sofia began the meeting by discussing the division’s progress on PTP funds, officer submissions, and a new implementation to the division that recognizes clubs based on the points they earn. President Hazel was recognized by the division for her dedication to the club and received one of five gift bags, which we were able to enjoy together. The game portion was inspired by the hit-show “Jeopardy!” making this DCM my favorite one by far, especially since I was able to bond with members from both D42W and the Turquoise Kiwins. Team two, or Hannah Montana, started the game off rough as we were in last place with negative two-hundred points; but as the game progressed, all attendees were laughing and becoming more competitive. Our team pulled through and advanced to the “fast money” round. With a comeback as one of the top teams, the pressure was increasing on us. I was appointed by my team to play in the fast money round against a member from the top team, Key Club 4 Life. Some questions that were asked included, “What do you never leave your house without?” and “What don’t you want to find swimming in your bathtub?” were asked. As a shock to the audience, my contestant and I were tied for the fast money round with a total of 102 points each. I ended up losing the second tie breaker, however it does not invalidate how much fun I had at this past DCM! My group members were very enthusiastic and cheered each other on along the way, and I couldn’t have asked for a better time! Hopefully we have more collaborations with the lovely Kiwins in the future.
