Lottery Tickets PAST DUE

As a last reminder to cadets and parents – Lottery Tickets were due back to the squadron beginning in January of this year.

Many announcements have been made regarding the return of the tickets at the closing briefing we have each Wednesday night.

If the tickets are not returned by this Wednesday, 23 March, 2016, they will be marked LOST. As you have already paid for them (in the case of the initial issue), all that is required is for you to fill out the information requested. For those that requested a second or third book, please return them – EVEN IF THEY ARE NOT COMPLETELY SOLD. It is better to have the tickets handed in.

For those that returned them on time and to those that were able to sell additional books – thank you! Every effort is appreciated.
