1.       Awana Club STARTS promptly at 4 pm (doors open at 3:45). The registration table will be closed during the opening ceremony. Please have your clubber there in time to get thru the nightly check in process before 4 pm. 

2.       Our Awana club now runs 2 hrs (4 pm – 6 pm). When club is over, please go to your clubbers room (see map on back) and pick up your clubber. For your clubbers safety, we can only release your clubber to an adult. If someone other than the clubbers parent/grandparent will be picking them up, please let their Club Director know at the registration table that night.

4.       Points. Your clubber receives weekly points for the following: being on time, having their Bible, Handbook, Uniform, paying their dues, passing sections in their handbook, individual & team game time participation, participation in theme nights and bringing friends to Awana Club. The points they earn are converted into “Awana Dollars” in December and May and the clubbers can purchase items in our “Awana Store”. There is no limit to how many points (dollars) the clubbers can earn.  

5.       Scripture Memorization & Handbook sections. To pass a section in a handbook, each clubber is required to memorize certain scriptures. A clubber must pass on average 2 sections a week to complete their book in the Awana year. 

6.       Awards. Awards are only presented to clubbers who are wearing their uniforms. Uniforms can be purchased after the clubber has passed the entrance book for that club. Uniforms should be worn and handbooks and Bibles should be brought to every meeting.

7.       Parental Help. Last year we tried having a sign-up sheet for volunteers to help out with the club. It did not work out very well and the same people ended up doing the bulk of the work throughout the year. After the first night I will be sending out a schedule for parents to help. The areas we need help in are listening to verses in the clubs (Sparks & T & T) and game time coaches/helpers. Parents of Cubbies will be expected to help out in the Cubbies club (if they are not already doing so). The last area of help is with the setup of the church after Awana. Many hands make light work. I will be there to help direct the setup but we need your help to move carpets, platforms and chairs. 

8.       Adopt-A-Club. Our Awana Club has “adopted” two clubs overseas, one in Russia and the other in India. Through the Awana year we need to raise $240 for each club ($480 total). This is accomplished two ways. The first is thru the Adopt-a-Club quarter bank. The banks hold $5 in quarters and allow the clubber to collect them over time. Once the bank is full the clubber turns it in and they receive an Adopt-a-Club patch for their uniform.

The second way we raise funds for our Adopted Clubs is through our contest. The clubbers are divided into two teams and they bring in loose change throughout the year. At the end of the year we have a pizza pool party and the team that has the most points from the contest is served pizza & cokes by the other team. Then everyone has a great time in the pool. Please help and encourage your clubber to do “extras” for you and others to raise monies for the adopted clubs.

9.       Costs. Please see the attached cost sheet that lists the costs for Awana. We do not want costs to prevent any clubber from attending. If this is an issue, please see Commander John.

10.     Thank you for allowing us to minster to your child. If you have any questions regarding Awana, please feel free to ask your child’s Awana leaders or Commander John.
