For those cadets who have volunteered for the Icewine Festival Bottle pickup today, we’ll be meeting at 5pm behind the Court House.

A big thanks to all of the cadets, parents, sponsorship committee members and staff who came out and worked hard to make our Winter Bottle Drive a success. We should hear back with some final numbers sometime this week.

Also, special thanks go out to VanNoort Florists for supporting us with a sorting area and with trucks for delivering the bottles to The Beer Store’s distribution centre.

All of your contributions are essential to helping us deliver a great program for the youth of Niagara-on-the-Lake. Thank you!

Our second bottle drive of the training year is tomorrow at VanNoort Greenhouses at the corner of Hunter and Four Mile Creek Roads in Niagara-on-the-Lake. We will start promptly at 0900h (9am) and we need all cadets, and as many parent volunteers as possible, on board. Please remember that this is a mandatory fundraising activity and that attendance cheques will be cashed for those cadets not present.

• DRIVERS: We need drivers! Please bring in your valid driver’s license and proof of automobile insurance, pick up your car magnets, driving route, and cadets;
• SORTERS: We need sorters for the entire day. It’s dirty job, but worth every penny. (Or it it nickel now?) We have people who know how it works, so find someone who looks like they know what they’re doing and they’ll show you the ropes;
• CADETS: It’s a cold day, so WEAR YOUR WINTER COAT, GLOVES, and cadet toque. We’re supposed to go down to -9°C tomorrow, so don’t under-dress. You’ll be outside for the majority of the day.

We will be providing lunch for everyone helping out, and there will be coffee/tea on-site as well for our adult volunteers.

Bring your excitement and enthusiasm! We are looking forward to a fantastic fundraising event.
