St. Michael’s School Visit
Tomorrow morning at 910am, Capt Palumbo and two cadets will be making a recruiting presentation to the Grade 6, 7, & 8 students at St. Michael’s school in NOTL. Dress is uniform (C-2).
Duties include: speaking for approx 2 mins about their favourite aspects of the cadet program, distributing promotional material, answering questions as appropriate. The presentation will include 2 videos.
Parents: if there are additional cadets that can miss school for this important presentation, please let Capt Palumbo know. Cadets need to arrange their own transportation to/from the school – presentations will be approximately 20 mins long for 3 groups. We should be completed and ready to leave by 1045am.
Monday Night Training
Don’t forget:
Drill Team 7-8pm wear your drill boots & wedge with civilian clothing. Everyone needs to be out so we can really get the details down in the silent routine (Capt Palumbo will be coming for a preview).
SPORTS 8-9pm for ALL Cadets participating at the Sports competition this coming Sat, the 28th in Dunnville. DRESS IS SPORTS CLOTHING – no jeans. Running shoes required. FYI: Capt Palumbo *might* have challenged (read taunted) 62 Sqn at the NAG mtg last week. SO we need you out to defend our previous titles! And volleyball members: bad news, this year the rules will not change. Good news: next year they will be updated – thx to all who sent in your input.
There will be NO other training taking place on Monday night – the classrooms will be closed.
THANK YOU to all who helped out at the NOTL Ice Wine Festival tonight – we were in and out within 30 mins. Many hands truly makes light work – attendance was recorded.

NAG Sports Competition – TRANSPORTATION UPDATE
All day NAG SPORTS COMPETITION SAT 28th of JAN. NEW TRANSPORTATION INFORMATION:
