Hello and welcome to another year of Creative Problem solving in Michigan!  Michigan Creativity Association is very pleased to again offer the Destination ImagiNation program for the 2008-9 tournament season.

Here is some information we would like you to have:

  • The Affiliate Finals Tournament is scheduled for April 4, 2009 in Mt Pleasant, MI.  Yes, we are aware that this falls at the beginning of Spring Break for many districts and that this could pose a potential conflict with many participants and their parents.  There were two main reasons for selecting this date:
  1. A large cost savings.
  2. A possible conflict with “Alumni Weekend” which would make it more difficult to get desired performance areas and hotel rooms.

Every year we face the dilemma of conflicts with other scheduled events.  All we can do is make the dates available as soon as possible and hope that most conflicts can be resolved.

  • This year 1st, 2nd and 3rd Place teams will advance to the Affiliate Finals Tournament in Mt Pleasant.  By reducing the number of teams in attendance, we hope to make the day more enjoyable for both teams and appraisers, as well as reduce some of our costs by using fewer competition sites.
  • There will be no charge for Team Manager Training this year!  We will be offering three Team Manager Training MI-Cafes throughout the State.  Team Managers will have a number of sessions to choose from at the training.  These sessions will have a broader spectrum of appeal and will be much more “hands on” for the trainees.  We hope to see all Team Managers at one of the sessions this year. It will be an all day event and lunch will be provided.  Dates and locations for the MI-Cafes will be posted on the web site as soon as they are finalized.
  • MIchigan Creativity Association is offering projectOUTREACH Program Challenge F: Take Charge!   This challenge is only available to Middle, Secondary and College Level Teams.  Your 2008-9 Program materials will have further information.  All projectOUTREACH Teams will be competing at the Affiliate Finals Tournament on April 4, 2009.

We sincerely thank you for joining us and participating in the Destination ImagiNation  Program for the 2008-9 season.  We look forward to seeing all of the teams and their amazingly creative solutions.
-MIchigan Creativity Association Board of Directors
