REGISTRATION: The 4-H workshop registration system has changed for the 2013-14 workshop season! We are now utilizing the event registration tool that is part of the Michigan State University Extension events management system. Registrations can now be made by individuals, families, and county staff. The new system also allows for credit card payments! Go to http://events.anr.msu.edu/4HClothingOct13 when available] to register for this event. Once registrations have been entered, workshop attendees who have not paid online with a credit card are still expected to send their payment to their county MSU Extension office or ANR Events Management at 446 W. Circle Dr. East Lansing, MI 48824, with a copy of their registration receipt. All fees must be prepaid at your local county MSU Extension office.

When county staff login to register other individuals, they will select the type of participant from the roster and register the person in the system. Registration must be entered into the MSU Extension Event Registration System no later than midnight, October 9, 2013. This deadline will be strictly enforced, which means registrations received after this date will not be accepted. PARTICIPANTS MUST PRE-REGISTER FOR SESSION CHOICES Participants need to pre-register for sessions during the three time periods options are held. There are up to fourteen breakout sessions in each time period that are labeled A1-AG. Please select your first and second choice for each session. If you choose a two- or three part session, you must register for both parts in which the session is offered. If you have questions regarding registration please email Gloria Ellerhorst at ellerg@msu.edu. WHO SHOULD ATTEND? This workshop is for adult and teen leaders (13 years and older as of January 1, 2014). Staff is also welcome. We encourage individuals to car pool. Contact your county office for names of other persons attending the workshop. CONFERENCE OBJECTIVE:

To give leaders the opportunity to update their knowledge and skills in the Clothing and Textiles area

To provide leaders with time to share ideas with others from around the state CHAPERONE RESPONSIBILITIES: Every county is responsible for designation of chaperones for youth coming to state off-campus 4-H events. Chaperones must be adults (aged 21 years old or older) who have gone through the MSU Extension Volunteer Selection Process. Chaperones are responsible for serving as role models for youth and for guiding youth behavior. All adults serving as chaperones during 4-H events should receive information about their chaperone role before the event. This could take place at a face-to-face meeting, over the phone or via mail. This offers an opportunity for chaperones to review the role of and expectations for event chaperones and to raise any questions or concerns they might have. A “4-H Event Chaperone Responsibilities” handout is available at the “Staff Resources for the Youth-Adult Housing Policy” web page: http://web1.msue.msu.edu/msue/cyf/youth/downloads/housingpolicy/index.html. YOUTH-ADULT HOUSING POLICY FOR 4-H OVERNIGHT EVENTS: To help ensure the safety and well-being of both youth and adults involved with Michigan 4-H, the “Youth-Adult Housing Policy for 4-H Overnight Events” was developed. This mandatory policy, which went into effect on January 1, 2008, applies to any Michigan 4-H–sponsored state, regional-, multi-county-, county- or club-level overnight event where adults are housed with youth, such as workshops, events, fairs, exchanges, overnight trips, lock-ins and camps. The core of the policy states that youth can be housed with unrelated adult chaperones aged 21 and over (age as of date of event) at overnight 4-H events as long as the youth-adult ratio is at least two youth to one adult and the adults have been through the MSU Extension Volunteer Selection Process. Before any youth attends an overnight 4-H event, each youth’s parent or legal guardian must sign and return the 4-H Overnight Housing Parent/Guardian Permission Form (available from the county MSU Extension office). This form is kept on file at the county MSU Extension office and it is not sent to the State 4-H Office. Complete information on the policy is available at: http://web1.msue.msu.edu/msue/cyf/youth/downloads/housingpolicy/index.html. REGISTERING YOUTH AGED 18, 19 OR 20:

In keeping with the new Michigan 4-H Youth-Adult Policy for 4-H Overnight Events, any youth aged 18, 19 or 20 at the time of the event who is a registered 4-H member and who attends an event as a participant must not be housed with or share bathrooms with younger, unrelated youth unless he or she has completed a background check including one reference check and a criminal history check. The background check should be completed no more than once a year, unless circumstances warrant more frequent checks. When county staff registers a 4-H member 18, 19 or 20 years old on the MSU Extension 4-H Workshop Registration System, they will be asked if a background check has been completed for youth in this age bracket. The State 4-H Office will accept and process registrations only if a background check is completed. This form is kept in the county, and it is not sent to the State 4-H Office. Complete information on the policy is available at: http://web1.msue.msu.edu/msue/cyf/youth/downloads/housingpolicy/index.html. MEDIA RELEASE/MEDICAL TREATMENT AUTHORIZATION: When registering a youth participant aged 18 and under for a workshop, the participant’s parents or guardians must complete and sign the Medical Treatment Authorization section of the form. This form is then given to the county MSU Extension office, which sends it to the workshop coordinator. Copies of the form can also be brought to the workshop. Youth without a form signed by a parent or legal guardian will not be allowed to stay at this overnight workshop. All workshop participants, teen and adult, are encouraged to complete the Media Release section of the form. This section authorizes MSU Extension to record and photograph workshop participants and to use these photos and voice recordings in educational and promotional publications and programs. WHAT TO BRING: Comfortable clothing, ideas to share with others and enthusiasm! Bedding and linens are furnished. SPONSORS: This workshop is sponsored by the Michigan 4-H Foundation donors to the 4-H Foundation and through a grant provided by the source listed below. Please send your letter of appreciation to:

All participants are strongly encouraged to send a letter of appreciation to the above donor. Without their help, this workshop would not have been possible. SMOKING REGULATIONS: All persons are expected to adhere to Kettunen Center's smoking regulations. The use of tobacco is prohibited in all indoor space. Smoking areas are provided outside of the buildings. Youth participants are not allowed to use tobacco in any form. CONDUCT POLICY:

Positive behavior is a key expectation for youth and adults participating in 4-H activities – behavior that reflects trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring and citizenship. Participants are expected to follow all workshop and event guidelines. Theft, vandalism, the use of illegal drugs and alcohol, inappropriate or threatening behavior that violates the rights of others, and other such offenses are strictly prohibited, and anyone involved with these offenses will immediately be sent home at his or her own expense. If it is determined by 4-H staff or persons in charge of the activity that the offense warrants it, the offender will be turned over to the proper authorities. Participants are expected to take responsibility for their own actions and encouraged to inform their chaperone or the workshop coordinator if another person is mistreating them. ACCOMMODATIONS FOR PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES: Accommodations may be requested by calling Gloria Ellerhorst at (517) 353-2922 three weeks before the workshop to ensure sufficient time to make arrangements. Requests received after this time will be met when possible.
