Cadet Volunteers Needed

Each year the congregation of Grace United Church lends us the use of their church hall for our Mess Dinner. It is our turn to help them! The Grace United Church Sidewalk Sale is on Fri 29 Aug & Sat 30 Aug (Labour Day Wknd).

WE NEED VOLUNTEER CADETS FOR THE FOLLOWING:

4 Cadets for the Friday morning at 10am-noon for set-up.

2 for Saturday morning 8:00 till 11:00 to help serve breakfast;

4 Cadets on Saturday afternoon from Noon till 3:00 for tear down.

SO, especially for those who were not able to help out at the Airport Fest, I am asking that you make yourselves available to help those who help others.

EMAIL YOUR AVAILABILITY TO: tammypalumbo@yahoo.ca

Airport Fest ’14. The hours of the event are 1100 to 1700 on Saturday, 16 Aug 2014.

Cadet volunteers are required for the following:

a) Ground side parking: 4 cadets for each of 2 shifts – 1100 to 1300, and then 1300 to 1500. [total of 8 personnel]

b) Air side (RAMP) security: 2 cadets for each of 2 shifts – 1300 to 1500; and 1500 to 1700. [total of 4 personnel – two are already filled] ** SEE NOTE BELOW**

This is open to all current Air Cadets at 809 Sqn. These hours would count directly toward your high school volunteer hour requirements.

In addition to the above, we will have a recruiting table at the Airport Fest for the day. We will need 2 cadets to hand out material and speak with the general public about what makes Air Cadets such a fantastic opportunity. This is the perfect chance for those returning from summer training to meet up with their friends and exchange stories!

– your OFFER OF PARTICIPATION (signed by you, your parents and either CI Ruttan or Capt Palumbo)

These documents will guarantee you smooth traveling to your destination. If you are missing any of these items, it is YOUR responsibility to make sure you have them in your possession prior to boarding the bus/airbus/airplane.

Dress for travel is UNIFORM (no tunic). Bring only what you can carry (one backpack and one luggage piece). Snacks are fine too – but clean up after yourself. And remember: don’t bring anything that you really don’t want to lose. Things happen. Stuff goes missing.

HAVE FUN! Our first cadet departs SUNDAY! Capt Palumbo will be in touch over the next few weeks with any outstanding travel orders. Check your email.
