Hello WVN Churches:
Its that time of year again
time to register your teens for Regional BLAST at Mount
Vernon Nazarene University on June 10-12, 2010. All
registration forms are available online this year. The
District forms that you need are available on the WVN
District NYI Web site: www.wvnnyi.com. Listed below are
the forms your church will need to register your teens:
BLAST Registration Form
Medical & Civil Liability Form
Criminal Background Check Form
Church Checklist
Participant/Spectator/Chaperone Checklist
Housing Roster Request Form
BLAST T-shirt Design contest information
BLAST Handbook
Additional information and
updates are available on the BLAST Web site:
www.mvnu.edu/blast. Your completed registration
information and money is due to the District Coordinator
no later than April 12, 2010.
Along with completing all of the
above forms you will to make sure every teen from your
church is registered online on the BLAST Web site,
www.mvnu.edu/blast. Also, please be sure to update the
events that your teens have qualified for after talent
and the sports tournament. You will also need to print
out a copy of the handbook and rules also on the BLAST
Web site and WVN District Web site and review the rules
with your group.
The WVN NYI Council and Regional
BLAST leaders are asking that you send one adult for
every six (6) teens of the same sex. Example: 7 teen
girls would need 2 adult women; 12 teen boys would need
2 adult men. This will help to ensure that every teen is
supervised by an adult from their church in the
dormitories/apartments. If this is going to impair your
ability to send all of the teens that wish to attend,
you can make arrangements with adults from another
church that is not already supervising six (6) teens.
Please have the coordinator from that church contact the
District Coordinator with which teens they will be
supervising.
Every adult must have a Criminal
Background check on file at the WVN District Office to
attend BLAST. Please check with the Office Manager Wilda
Swisher (304-363-5767) to see if you are on the list. If
you are not on file at the District Office, you will
need to submit the background request form to them so
you can be approved as a chaperone. A request form is
included in this packet. Failure to have the Criminal
Background Check completed will eliminate you as a
chaperone---NO EXCEPTIONS.
There have been several changes
to BLAST this year. Please check the BLAST Handbook for
rules and regulations. They are as follows:
NO HOTEL BLOCKS SECURED BY
