Frequently
Asked Questions
What
workshops will I
attend at the Forum?
Workshops
are generally
filled on a first come, first serve basis. This year special
workshop
selections including tours and tracks will be offered. More details
will
be posted as to registration procedures for these opportunities once
they
are made available. Generally more than 40 workshops are
offer
with four different time periods. A delegate, in addition to
participating
in motivational presentations, may select approximately 4 workshops to
attend as well as evening funshops.
What is
a funshop?
Funshops
are evening
workshops that are more recreational in nature. Some are crafts,
others are dancing while others may be a night hike. Simply put,
funshops are evening activities that run the gament from educational to
purely entertaining.
What is
trading?
A forum
tradition,
trading is an opportunity to get to know other leaders. During a
social time, leaders will exchange pins, tags and homemade items
generally
depicting their home states. Items are offered in the spirit of
friendship
and should be in good taste. A minimal number of items are
provided
the Georgia delegation at registration and include bulldog stickers and
such. Past participants have made pins from cotton, peaches and
other
Georgia commodities.
Are
scholarships offfered
to Southern Region Leader Forum?
While
National 4-H
Council provides coordination of the program and with a team of
specialists
and volunteers from the region. Scholarships are not presented at
this level. Georgia 4-H with the assistance of the Georgia 4-H
Volunteer
Leaders Association trips to Southern Region Leaders Forum
through
the 4-H Volunteer Leader Recogntion Program. If a volunteer would
like to attend and funding is preventing attendance, please
contact
Jenny Jordan (jwj4h@uga.edu).
We will try to work with any leader wishing to expand his/her knowledge
to benefit the total program.
If Rock
Eagle is all
adults for the weekend will I sleep on a top bunk?
Cabins are
assigned
with registration. We make every effort to accomodate special
needs
of our delegation. Only a handful of delegates will be sleeping
on
top bunks. We fill as many bottom bunks as possible.
Additionally,
linens are provided so you will not need to bring sleeping bags or
sheets.
What do
I wear?
The Forum
is primarily
casual in dress. Each Georgia delegate will be provided a Georgia
4-H Volunteer long sleeve t-shirt to wear for state pictures on
Friday.
Additionally, Saturday evening's banquet is a dress up affair.
Jeans,
shorts (in warm October's) and other casual wear is entirely
appropriate.
