General Information
concerning Tar Heel Girls
State
This information is designed to help you cope with dorm life during the
week. Use your judgment and common courtesy with your roommate, in the dorm,
and in your meetings. Please bring your sense of humor because it helps to keep
smiling -- even at yourself!
- Room keys are issued on Sunday. Take care of it and return it on
Saturday. A replacement fee of $30 will be charged if you lose your
key. Do not bring valuables. Tar Heel Girls State nor The American Legion
Auxiliary will be responsible for lost or stolen items.
- Keep you room neat and clean. Turn off all lights and electrical
appliances (curling iron, etc.) when you leave the room. The dorm is air
conditioned.
- Please keep your voice and sound levels low, especially at night.
Again, simple courtesy is the key.
- Food can attract ants and other bugs. Keep all food in closed tins or
plastic containers. Take care to throw away all trash.
- Sick Call is each morning before breakfast. Notify your city
counselor or other staff person if you are ill. You may not stay in the dorm
without permission from the staff. A housemother will help you get medical care
if you need it or escort you back to the dorm if necessary. This policy is for
your protection and safety while at Girls State. Notify a staff person if you
become ill at any point in the day.
- Please remember that North Carolina state law prohibits smoking by
people under 18 years of age. Therefore, smoking will not be allowed at Girls
State.
