UMMUN Crunch Time

This is going to be the exact same stuff as what was on the papers you all received on Friday.

The PTO has agreed to cover the cost of registration. They are paying $60 per person, which is a huge help.

That being said, the total remaining balance for everyone to pay is $80. This money is due Wednesday, 1/9. Also, if you haven't turned in your forms yet, they need to be turned in ASAP.

SCHEDULE FOR SUPER-CRAZY WEEK

Monday, 1/7 - We will be doing research in the HHS Library after school. If you want to come to do research together, or if you have questions, this would be a great time to do so.

Tuesday, 1/8 - Meeting in Talberg's room. We will be discussing parliamentary procedure, resolution writing, and research status. Everyone really should try to come to this meeting.

Wednesday, 1/9 - MANDATORY Meeting in Talberg's room. This is crunch time day. Your final position papers need to be done by this date. We will be collecting them at the meeting if you have them. We are going to be holding a general mock U.N. session, and then mock sessions for each committee. This is also when your remaining money balance and permission forms are due. We will also be confirming the plan for getting to the conference and addressing any concerns you might have.

Thursday, 1/10 - Departing for UMMUN 2008 after school. We are carpooling, and arrangements will be finalized at one of our meetings.

Thursday night thru Sunday afternoon - UMMUN!

KEY THINGS TO KNOW
>Money, Forms, and Position Papers due Wednesday 1/9
>The cost of food is not included in your $80 payment, so bring money for food at the conference. There is a small continental breakfast at the hotel, like muffins and coffee or something. There is a food court area in the Union (where UMMUN takes place) which costs less, and several restaurants downtown Ann Arbor. We also choose one night to go out to eat together. Plan accordingly.
>There is a clothing requirement for the conference. You need to dress up somewhat nicely. They call it "Western business attire". Basically, no jeans, t-shirts, or sweatshirts. If you're a guy, wear a shirt and tie with some nice pants and shoes, If you're a girl, wear a nice blouse and dress pants or skirt with nice shoes. Suits are encouraged for both guys and girls, too. It's pretty simple.
>We miss a day of school (Friday 1/11), so make sure your teachers are aware.

That's all, see you on Tuesday!
