Good evening 809 ,
I’m happy to see that there are only 2 spots left to fill for the poppy campaign this weekend. However, there are still cadets who have yet to volunteer. If you haven’t volunteered, take the time to fill in the spots leftover. Don’t leave it up to your squadron mates to do the heavy lifting. For those cadets that have volunteered to do multiple shifts over the two days, thank you for your dedication. It has been noted.
