Announcements – Week 20 – Week of 28JAN2024

Hello 809!

I’d like to thank everyone that helped out with the bottle drive over the weekend.  You all worked incredibly hard and I’m proud of the effort.  It’s clear to me that we have a lot of dedicated cadets, families, staff and volunteers (SSC).

Here are the announcements for this week.  We’ll have mandatory training on Wednesday as usual.  For detailed training information, please have your cadet consult the WROs which can be found on Microsoft Teams by following this path:
