The Kiwanis Club of TTDI has the honour of hosting Kiwanis Malaysia’s 23rd District Convention or more fondly know as DCON from 8 to 9th September 2023. KCTTDI is no stranger to hosting DCON having done it at least 4 times since 1996, in Lumut, Cameron Highlands, Melaka and Genting Highlands. What’s different this time around is that the KCTTDI Organising Committee consists of fairly new members and the team decided to take Kiwanians back to basics – a quaint little town called Muar in the state of Johor!
Jom, let’s go to Muar!
As you drive over the bridge crossing the Muar river, Muar Traders Hotel, is visible for all to see. The building is also known as Muar Trade Centre which was built in 1984! So attendees can expect a blast from the past as they walk through the lobby of the hotel into the lifts. Worry not! Their rooms were recently refurbished (post pandemic) and boasts comfy beds, clean bathrooms with good water pressure.
Muar town is also known as Bandar Maharani (which means, the queen’s town). It is a royal town in itself and quite popular for local delicacies such as otak-otak and satay. So, one might ask, what is there to do in Muar? Here is some information on places to visit and the most important thing for Malaysians, suggested food outlets!
We are a Force for Good
Kiwanians have been a force for good since it’s inception. Our District Governor’s theme: Force for Good for the term 2022/2023 has trailblazed through the communities that we continue to serve. Last year, we celebrated outgoing DG Serena Quek and joyfully welcomed, DG Rosemary Tan. We embraced social media a bit more, be it TikTok, Instagram or Facebook. Some of us also learned what hashtags were and, even started using them! So, let’s all gather as Kiwanians to give to thanks to our DG for her service as she passes on the baton to the incoming leaders of Kiwanis Malaysia.
The District Convention is when we gather as Kiwanians to share what we have done, and most importantly, learn from each other. The kind of fellowship and friendships Kiwanians share, is second to none. We wear our Kiwanian membership with pride and our camaraderie only gets stronger with each passing year. The theme for our 2023 District Convention: One Theme One Mission, truly encapsulates the spirit of Kiwanians.
So, do not miss out on the chance to be part of the annual celebration. The organisers are gifting all participants a T-shirt which can be worn for the Welcome Dinner on 8th September. The theme for the Gala Dinner on 9th September, is Malaysia Truly Asia in line with Malaysia Day’s month of September! Come dressed in your best outfits that represent Malaysia.
