SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 2009 / GOOSE LAKE PARK (noon - 3pm)
Advisory students for my class help coordinate the UMED-Fest each year, held at Goose Lake Park.
This year, HTH student leaders will include our advisory, and other leadership students in HTH and other schools. Christina Grimsley will be the lead student for HTH. This one-day event is a way to get the community involved in fun, healthy activities for everyone.
Volunteers help coordinate booths, guests (including medical agencies & university programs) around the lake, learn about physical & mental health while completing a "passport" that gets stamped for each activity visited. There are lots of prizes and ways to have fun for the whole family.
Please plan to help out this year, with Representative Sharon Cissna and HTH students!

Sports and Activities
For each sport or activity someone needs to be there during the festival to instruct, teach, and/or supervise for it. There should be at least one leader in charge of each. In charge just means to make sure there is someone at that sport or activity during the festival. It could be a volunteer, or possible a company you asked to come and lead. You don’t necessarily have to be there yourself. Put a * next to any activities or sports you are willing to take charge of. (I encourage you to mark more than one) You may volunteer to handle three or four but you will end up with one (maybe two). This is to make sure each activity has a leader in charge of it. If no one will volunteer to take charge of one particular sport or activity there is a good chance it will be dropped.
Simple, can be lead by a volunteer or leader.

Food
Food is going to be a complex task. We will need at least three people to be coordinating and in charge of food. This would include seating, line control, heath (cleanliness), temperature control (hot, cool, and cold), and more.
Put a * by the topics if you volunteer to manage that, or a * by the sub topics you volunteer to take charge of yourself.
Organization and Management

Greeters (2-4)
Security/Keeping people in the right vicinity (3-8)

Extras
Just some things I heard discussed and considered.
Music
There are a lot of ways we can incorporate music into our festival. Here are just a few.
- DJ
- Live Band
- Radio
This is another opportunity for U-med fest attendants to see how being active can be fun. We could get teachers from local schools or studios to teach certain types of dance. We do not necessarily have to have more than one type of dance but it would be interesting to learn a lot of new things. Here are a few dance genres that are plausible to be taught.
- Ballroom
- Hip-Hop
- Breaking
- Jazz
Just possible publicity methods
- PSA
- Newsletters
- Emails
- School distribution
- Fliers
- Letters to editor, special feature& other promo
- Radio
- TV community programs
- Dancing bunny
- Dancing Veggies
Here are some random ideas to be discussed.
- Decoration
- Balloons
- Signs
- Cut outs
- Health & safety promotion posters and art
- Streamers
- Set up& clean up
- Water and snack booths
