From diflnews at floridadi.org Sun Jul 23 22:53:38 2017 From: diflnews at floridadi.org (Florida DI News) Date: Sun, 23 Jul 2017 18:53:38 -0400 Subject: [DIFLnews] Florida Destination Imagination Welcome to the 2017-18 season Message-ID: Our New Destination Imagination Season Approaches! As we get ready for the 2017-18 Destination Imagination year, we would like to help you make your start of the DI season easier and more successful. We would greatly appreciate your input for this year. Please feel free to share this information with anyone we may have overlooked. Questions for Returning Teams: 1. Do you plan on participating in Florida DI this year? 2. If not, or not in your same capacity as last year, is there someone we could contact that might help fill your spot? 3 .Do you know of anyone new who would be interested in doing DI? Getting Started Thoughts Promotion Materials: You may print/distribute any of the materials from the DI website to promote DI. If you prefer Florida DI to provide fliers, contact me and we will get some to you. I suggest the Program Overview, Challenge Overview, or the Parent Guide Flyer which can be found here. Challenge Program: The price per Team Number is $150 ($105 program materials and $45 Florida Affiliate fee) per team. This includes our Tournament Fee. This year, DI is providing enhanced previews of the Challenges. These will be available publicly at no cost and should allow you to get started a little easier, especially with new teams. These Materials may be distributed to your team, school, school district and/or organization to promote DI to your community. Program Materials will be released for purchaser download on September 1. Try DI: If you would like an event (in August, September, or October) to help your teams and support personnel get started, please contact us. If I or another volunteer is available, we will gladly come to your site and help with an event in your community. It can be a "TRY DI" event with hands on activities for students and interested adults, or an informational event geared to an adult audience. Training: We hope to conduct a "live" electronic training for Team Managers this fall. Some of the topics we are considering are: Nomenclature, Reading the Challenge, Interference and Time Management. If you have a topic you would like addressed, please let us know. Moving Forward: We are looking forward to a great year! Our state tournament date and site will be posted as soon as we have it confirmed. As always, feel free to contact us with any questions, ideas, or concerns.
