Parent Briefing Rescheduled
The parent briefing originally scheduled for tonight has been rescheduled to Wednesday, 17 Oct 2018 at 6:45pm to accommodate extended recruiting efforts. The primary focus of the parent briefings is to bring parents of new cadets up to speed with how things work and we’re hoping to have more of those before we actually kick things off properly.

Decoration Day Parade Correction and Reminder
The original posting for this weekend’s Decoration Day Parade was mistakenly listed the date as being 15 Sep 18. The actual time and date is 1330h (1:30pm) to 1500h (3:00pm) on 16 Sep 18.
We currently have only one cadet signed up for this event and would like a reasonable presence. If you can free up a couple of hours on Sunday, sign up and come out to support your squadron and its primary sponsor
Decoration Day Parade
The Royal Canadian Legion’s Decoration Day Parade is a continuation of the precursor to Armistice Day and Remembrance Day. It is an opportunity to visit the graves of our war dead and pay respects in a sombre fashion. The local branch has asked for a party of cadets to be present at this year’s observations from 1330h (1:30pm) to 1500h (3:00pm) on 16 Sep 18.
CI Thiffault
As I’m sure many of you noticed, CI Thiffault wasn’t present at our first night last Wednesday. Due to a need to focus more time on her family, she has resigned from 809’s staff. Because of CI Thiffault’s unbridled enthusiasm for our squadron, and because she has been such an essential member of our staff for so many years, accepting her resignation has been one of the hardest things I have had to do as Commanding Officer. I have made it very clear that she is always welcome back and that we would love to see her whenever she can come to visit us. We’re all sending her and her family our best wishes and will be arranging a proper send-off in the next few weeks.
She has asked me to post the following to our web site so that everyone understands the circumstances of her resignation properly.

Dear 809 Squadron Cadets, Families, Staff and Sponsors,
As some of you may know my younger son Jeremy developed serious health issues over the past few months which will require treatment and a potentially long recovery. We are hoping that he will be restored to full health but for now I must focus on him. It is for this reason that I have offered Captain Lemoine my resignation from 809 Squadron. After so many years of working together I certainly will miss you all. The Cadet program remains one of the best opportunities for youth in Canada and I wish Newark Squadron every success in its new home.
Sincerely,
Heather Thiffault

Bottle Drive on Saturday!
All cadets are expected to join us for our first bottle drive of the year, Sat 8 Sep 18 at 9am. Meet at VanNoort Greenhouse at the corner of Hunter and Creek Roads in NotL. We will be ready for the cadets to go home at 4pm. This is one of our two bottle drive days, and one of our best fundraisers, and we need all hands on deck. Lunch is provided.
We need parent drivers and cadets to pick up bottles from local houses. Maps and instructions will be provided when you arrive. Drivers please bring proof of care insurance and your driver’s license. Cadets sign-in with WO2 Couroux. Parents please sign-in with Capt Lemoine.
We also need help sorting the wine, beer and liquor bottles and loading the truck. Bring a friend!
Dress is civilian appropriate for the weather. Wear your 809 Ball cap if you have one.
Come out and have a fun day!
