| MTU ROTC Day of Challenges Saturday, Nov. 8 Time to get our teams together. If you have a student in grades 5-12 who would like to participate in this one day event, email ccheupdates@gmail.com. Each year CCHE puts together up to three teams of six youth. This is a first come, first served event so sign up early. We need to get our teams in to MTU ROTC before Oct. 27!
The 2008-2009 Day of Challenges Program will be conducted at Michigan Technological University in Houghton, MI. The date is November 8, 2008. The competitive events are conducted in the University Student Development Center, followed by a luncheon and awards ceremony in the Reserve Officers Training Corps (ROTC) Gymnasium to round out the day.
Day of Challenges is a one-day Michigan youth activity program sponsored by the Department of Michigan VFW with local support from VFW District 15 and area VFW Posts. Day of Challenges is hosted jointly by the Michigan Tech Army and Air Force ROTC units. The University Army ROTC 3rd year cadets plan, organize and conduct the challenge events as a graded leadership development exercise. They receive support in this exercise from Air Force and Army ROTC student volunteers who serve as team leaders, scorekeepers and facilitators. Professional Army and Air Force Staff supervise the planning and execution of the Day of Challenges along with the VFW Program Director.
The program is designed to challenge teams in physical fitness, coordination and leadership as a group. The Junior Division (middle school grades 5, 6, 7 and 8) and Senior Division (high school grades 9, 10, 11 and 12) teams are limited to 6 members. Disability is accepted in team memberships. A maximum of 35 teams may compete in the Day of Challenges due to facility constraints. Events included are fitness test, obstacle course, raft race, relay race, swimming and tug of war. Leadership reaction is tested on each team using limited equipment to solve a simulated hazardous scenario.
Team event awards will be presented in each Division. The top scoring team in each Division will be presented with an engraved traveling trophy that can be displayed in their school until next year's Day of Challenges. In addition, all team participants will receive a Day of Challenges Certificate of Completion, a Medallion, a custom tee shirt and a VFW State Commander's Pin. The Iron Boy trophy is awarded to the top scoring boy and the top-scoring girl is awarded the Iron Girl trophy.
The Department of Michigan pays for all awards and the hot meals for the 200 plus youth participants and an estimated 50 ROTC cadets. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Portage Lake District Library Preparing Your Garden for Winter with Master Gardener, Lynn Watson Thursday, Oct. 9 at 7:00pm in the Community Room Topics include: shield young trees, shear back perennials, cozy up roses and more ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ New Story Time Hours! at Portage Lake District Library Mondays @ 1:15 Wednesdays & Thursdays @ 10:15 |
