Washington Kit List Amendment

All,

I wanted to clarify a small error in the kit list: bring your slip-ons for your cadet parka.

As a reminder, when wearing your parka in uniform, slip-ons must be worn.  You will be wearing your parka when in civilian attire, at that point slip-ons are not worn.

PS I’m stoked for the trip

PPS My van will win the race to Washington!

Air Cadet Post-Secondary Scholarships

Just a reminder that Air Cadets can help you accomplish even more. 

 Good morning all;

 A reminder that scholarship application deadlines are fast approaching and we must get the word out to the squadrons so that the cadets can get their applications to the National Office before the deadline.

 These awards are quite prestigious and can be of great help to the cadets who intend to further their education.

Leonard Birchall scholarship valued at $3500

Robert Dale scholarship valued at $2500

Youth Citizen Award valued at $5000

 Application forms are attached but can also be found on the ACL website and note the deadline is MAY 1st, 2015 for all three.

 Have a great day ! Bonne journée!

Sponsor Appreciation Tonight

PARENTS: Please join us during closing parade for our Sponsor Appreciation beginning at 855pm. We will be enjoying cupcakes and drinks to celebrate all the fantastic opportunities that our Squadron Sponsoring Committee create for your cadets, through their time, effort and dedication to our squadron.

My apologies for the mis-communication this morning regarding the March Break Trip parent meeting next Wed (I shouldn’t attempt to post before the kids go to school). We have changed the time of the meeting though, to 815pm on Wed Mar 11th, to better accommodate pick-up of your cadet and avoid waiting around after drop-off. In an effort to reduce the number of times you are required and/or requested to attend various parade night functions, the parent meeting originally scheduled at the end of the month has been cancelled (and deleted from the calendar). Thank you for your understanding.
