Hello WVN Churches:
It’s that time of year again – time to register your
teens for Regional BLAST at Mount Vernon Nazarene
University on June 9-11, 2011. All registration forms
are available online. The District forms that you need
will be available on the WVN District NYI Web site:
www.wvnnyi.com. Listed below are the forms your

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 18,
2011.
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.
Please check the BLAST Handbook for rules and
regulations. No hotel blocks will be secured by BLAST.
If your group wishes to stay off-campus, then you will
need to make your own reservations. The Sign Language
Category has been eliminated this year.
I look forward to meeting and working with your church.
BLAST is an awesome experience! Please join me in
praying for this event and the teens and adults that
will be attending. If you have any questions please
feel free to call or email me. My phone number and
email address are listed at the bottom of the page.
Blessings,
