California-Specific Things to Note

  • After you or your Membership Coordinator has purchased a Destination ImagiNation Domestic 1-pak or 5-pak membership, someone needs to register each team at this site.  Ensure your team is registered: use the Team registration menu in the left menu bar.
  • Put the other parents on the transportation, snacks, and appraiser recruitment committees: ask them to find a friend willing to spend a couple of days training and appraising so they can watch the team's tournament presentation instead of being the team's Appraiser. Appraiser training occurs at the regional level. Teams going on to the state tournament must supply a trained Appraiser there, too, so make sure it's a good friend who can stay with your team if they advance to State Finals.
  • If you have team members who are going to college next year, encourage them to apply for a California Creativity Scholarship. Note that they cannot apply for the Service Scholarship: they must be nominated by an adult. That could be you!
