I would like to officially invite you to participate in the 27th Annual Michigan Indian Family Olympics. The 2014 Games will take place on Friday, July 18th on the campus of Central Michigan University in Mt Pleasant, MI at the Bennett Track and Field. Registration/check-in will start at 7:30 a.m. and will be closed this year at 10:00 a.m.  This year the opening ceremonies will again start at approximately 9:00 a.m. The Registration fee for the 27th Annual games will be increased to $10 per person (Ages 5 - 54 only).

PLEASE PRE-REGISTER YOUR TEAM:

For this year's event, you again will be able to pre-register your team online. If you are the team leader for your tribe, we strongly encourage you to pre-register your team via the website. This will allow us to receive the information that we need to create wrist bands for the participants on your team.On event day, we will have packets with the wristbands organized alphabetically, so you can easily distribute them to your participants. Registration will open on Monday, June 2nd and close on Tuesday, July 15th.

YOUR TRIBES ASSISTANCE WITH EVENT STAFF:

Like year's past, we will be asking other tribes to lead and operate one of the events/areas. The assistance and volunteerism in years past has been tremendous!  Each tribe has excelled in coordinating their specific position and it has made for a very smoothly ran event.  Your assistance in this matter is greatly appreciated. Please contact me as soon as possible to let me know if you are able to assist once again.

TEAM REPRESENTATION:

We encourage you to come in your own team shirt that represents your tribe. If you will be creating a t-shirt for your tribe, please email me the color that your tribe will be wearing so we can prevent duplication of colors amongst the other tribes. As in years past, we encourage you to bring a tribal banner or flag from your tribe/organization for opening ceremonies and to display throughout the day. We have a limited number of tents that may be used to help provide shade.  Therefore, we encourage you to bring a tent of your own for the members of your community. Lunch will be served around 11:45. We also encourage you to bring your own snacks and to stay hydrated throughout the day.

Each year we hope to make this an enjoyable experience where many memories can be made once again. We look forward to your participation in this wonderful event to promote health, fun and fitness throughout the Native American communities in the State of Michigan!
