Transportation Schedule

SkillsUSA Championships 2008

 <= /span>

 <= /span>

The buses are numbere= d 1, 2, and 3 for assignments to and from Kansas City.  It is mandatory that you ride only= the bus you are assigned in order to maintain a balance of contestants and advi= sors.  Buses will not be traveling together, so if you are not at your pick-up stop at the designated time you will not be able to make the trip.  You will be unable to ride a different bus if you miss the one assig= ned, so please be at your designated pick-up location 30 minutes before <= b>the scheduled departure time.  The times given on the schedule are departure times for each location so please allow time to load luggage, tool, etc.

 

Luggage should be kep= t to a maximum of two medium-sized bags and a small carry-on.  The carry-on should be placed in t= he overhead racks and packed with what you need enroute to Kansas City.  If there a= re any empty seats on the bus, they are designated for advisors, and assignment at their discretion.

 

The following bus coordinators, with the assistance of other advisors on each bus, will be in charge of keeping a head count and supervising the delegation while enroute.  These people have the ultimate authority for making decisions related to their respective buses.

 

Bus Number One     = Rodney Strawderman  (bus le= aving James        =                  =             Rumsey)

            =             &nb= sp;           Bus Number Two     = Steve Purdum (bus leaving Elkins)

            =             &nb= sp;           Bus Number Three   Gary Bever= age (bus leaving Lewisburg)

 

            =             N= OTE: SMOKING IS NOT PERMITTED ON ANY OF THE BUSES.

 

All advisors will be responsible for all students who board the bus while e= nroute and return, including those specially assigned to them for the entire trip.  Students will report to= the assigned advisor during the entire trip until they return to their pickup station.

 

NOTE: ALL RULES AND POLICIES APPLY TO SECONDARY AND ADULT STUDENTS.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

 

Buses are staggered t= o arrive at different intervals in Kansas City.&nbs= p; It is important to do this to make room assignments easier.  When you arrive in Kansas City, yo= u will report to the lobby with your assigned advisor to pick up room keys,= do not go to the front desk.  = After you come to the lobby and get your room key, you may unload your luggage fr= om the bus.

 

There will be a ma= ndatory meeting for the entire delegation at 6:30 pm, location to be announced = upon arrival.  The SkillsUSA knowle= dge test will be given at this meeting and important contest information will be provided, you must attend.  Also, on Friday night, immediately following the awards ceremony, we will have another mandatory meeting, along with a pizza celebration.  You must attend = this meeting!!!!   Other re= quired meetings are your contestant meetings, industry tours, Opening Session, and= the Awards Session.

 

For the return trip h= ome on Saturday, the departure time will be announced at the Monday night.  You will need to pack the night be= fore and have your rooms in order for check-out.  Any charges to= your room for phone calls, etc.  MUST  be cleared on Friday night.  Y= our bus will not depart until these are paid in full.  Public relations for West Virginia, Career and Technical Education, and West Virginia SkillsUSA are very import= ant, so be sure and leave a good image of our state by leaving your rooms neat a= nd not trashed.

 

If you have any furth= er questions before the trip be sure to call your advisor or local SkillsUSA coordinator.  Check all con= test rules and updates carefully so you don’t leave anything behind needed for competing in your contest.  <= /span>Check the National SkillsUSA website for any last minute changes.  It is not easy to obtain forgotten= items in Kansas City, so please tend to all these details prior to departure.=

 

A major activity that= takes place at the national conference is the trading of pins from individual states.  This is the best way = to meet other people from different states and be one of the most memorial thi= ngs in years to come when you look back on your trip to Kansas City.  I encourage you to budget a little= extra money in order to participate in pin trading.  Our state officers will be in char= ge of selling state pins for trading.  The price of  = pins is $1.00 each.  You will r= eceive 5 complimentary pins from WV SkillsUSA to get you started.  Once the balance of  pins are sold that is it fo= r this year, so when you buy those pins do it early!!!
