Just a reminder for all who are going out of town for the Christmas holiday…take care of your Winterfest registration tonight or this Sunday.

 

All the information is below:

  • $50 non-refundable deposit due by 12/28 guarantees you a spot
  • If you pay by then the cost is $130 + $8 if you want a t-shirt
  • After the 28th, the cost is $136 + $12 for a t-shirt

 

Please note: we are not doing the concert this year…it’s $10 more and we already have some struggling with finances.

DETAILS WHAT: Winterfest is a huge youth rally in Gatlinburg, TN. It has been going for over 20 years and has 12,000 teens and sponsors (mostly from Churches of Christ) from across the country. Jeff Walling is the main speaker, if you’ve never heard Jeff, you’re really missing out! DATE: February 20-22, 2009 TIMES: LEAVE 5 AM on 2/20 ARRIVE: approximately 9 PM on 2/22 COST: $130 ($50 non-refundable reserves your spot) if you want a T-shirt, it’s $8 more which needs to be with your deposit. AFTER December 28 the cost is $136 and the T-shirt is $12. INCLUDES: Transportation, Lodging, WF Registration WHO: 6th—12th grade GUARANTEED: Pay your deposit by December 28, you are guaranteed a spot. What else do you need? Money for meals Fri, Sat & Sunday (7-9 meals) souvenirs, and perhaps a go-kart ride or something during free time on Saturday. regular toiletry items changes of clothes—not full wardrobe—see packing info below. possibly a sleeping bag and pillow and towel. Need to know: You will need to miss a day of school on Friday, February 20—I can provide a letter for you to give to your school upon request. Space is limited, so you will want to sign up and pay your deposit ASAP!!! If money is a problem, talk to Mike, we can work on scholarships. I must have your $50 (or $58 if you’re getting a T-shirt) deposit to reserve your spot!!! Packing Space is VERY limited—if you sign up, you must understand that you will be expected to pack minimally in duffle bags...there just isn’t enough room to take your entire wardrobe in large suitcases. Bring a “carry-on” for stuff you will need while traveling. “Can I bring a friend?”—yes, they must have a parent release form on file. “i-pod?” - no, ok but only to be played with entire group no buds in ears. It cuts down on you talking and communicating (i.e. building relationships) when you listen to your own stuff the whole way there. “cell phone?” - yes, but only for emergency and communicating with parents at home...not to talk to your friends who couldn’t go to Winterfest all weekend. Might like to know: We’re staying in condos that sleep 6 to 8—you may be asked to bring a sleeping bag depending on the size of the group. The condo is about 5 blocks from the convention center. We will be doing a lot of walking...bring comfortable shoes. We don’t have a lot of space, so getting an entire seat in the van for you to sleep is not likely. We will finalize transportation after December 28—depending on the size of the group there may still be room As always, seatbelts are required—including shoulder straps, if you don’t like this rule, your parents are free to drive you (however they will have to get their own lodging) :)
