Tentative Agenda

Your Friday Options

Friday is a day of many options! As folks begin looking at the registration packet in more detail, some questions have arisen we hope to answer here!

At 4-H regional forums, Fridays have usually been designated for tours of the host state. We've done things just a little bit differently and provided different options for you to consider on Friday.

When making your choice, just make sure to look at the departure and return times and make sure your plan for the day is logistically feasible.

Your Friday Options

• One half-day tour and relax the other half (Grotto lunch voucher)
  
  
• One workshop and relax (Grotto lunch voucher)

• One half-day tour and one workshop - one in am, one in pm, you decide! (Grotto lunch voucher)

• Two half-day tours (but please check the times carefully-you may have to give up on lunch or eat very quickly!)

• Two workshops (lunch voucher provided)

• Full day tour (lunch while on tour - venues vary.)

• Sleep in, relax, walk the boardwalk, or take in Rehoboth on your own. This last option does not include lunch.

After dinner, you have the option of joining the larger Delaware 4-H community in a lighted memorial walk on the boardwalk - in memory of Joy Sparks. Everyone will carry illuminated sticks as we walk the boardwalk - we hope to  raise cancer awareness as well as provide a glowing tribute to a woman who served Delaware 4-H exceptionally as its state program leader.

After the walk, it's time to put on the leis, stick a flower behind your ear and get in Luau mode - enjoy island music and the warmth of good friends - old and new.

A question about meals

A couple of our out of state friends have asked for clarification on what meals are covered for full time registration- Early Bird and later.  We are happy to oblige!

Thursday check in begins after 1 p.m.  Dinner is provided that night for those arriving on Thursday.

Friday includes breakfast and dinner for all full-time attendees. Lunch provisions differ however, depending on how you've planned your Friday activities:

Half-Day Tours: Either after your tour or before, you will be given a voucher, good for up to $10 at Rehoboth's famous Grotto's Pizza. Grotto's has a varied menu- and it is a very short walking distance from the hotel. Click the hyperlink in their name to learn more!

Friday Workshops attendees: same arrangement as half-day workshops. Grotto's will be open all day so eat a time that is convenient for you!

If you have decided to OPT OUT of all workshops and tours, so that you can explore Rehoboth on your own or just kick back and relax, that means lunch is "on your own" as well. Lunch vouchers will not be provided for those who decide to opt out.

Friday Full-Day Workshops include lunch, usually at a restaurant along the tour route. Please read the tour descriptions which describe the restaurant you will be visiting. There is no cost for Friday's lunch to full-day tour attendees.

Saturday: Breakfast, lunch and dinner (Prime Rib of Beef, Grilled Salmon or Pasta Primavera) is included as part of the registration fee.

Sunday: Breakfast is included.

Boy! All that food has gotten us hungry-and we see it's just about lunch time! Perfect timing!

Order your official 2010 NERVF T-shirt!!!!

Don't forget to place an order for the 4-H NERVF t-shirt.  The picture below is a representation. As the shirt is not yet in production, all colors are approximate, but we plan on a yellow t-shirt as the base color. Adult S-XL are $10 ea.  Larger sizes are $12 and color is subject to availability. We will have a limited supply available for over the counter sales so we urge you to order when you register.

The event pin will be a one inch rectangle of the official logo.  And just wait until you see the complimentary  tote bag you are getting! Simply gorgeous (but we are saving that as a surprise when you check-in!)
