CO’s Message

Good afternoon!

This is the last publication of WROs for training year 2020/21. We made it through and have high hopes for a resumption of in-person training in September!

This week, we will be merging our traditional Awards Banquet, Annual Ceremonial Review, and SWO Change of Command into one event on our last training night this coming Wednesday. We’re doing something similar to our Virtual Mess Dinner in December, where we arrange to have dinner delivered to your home and conduct the event virtually. Were we meeting in-person for these events, we would be expecting family members as well as cadets to be in attendance. This year, the Squadron Sponsorship Committee is generously providing a large enough meal so that our cadets and their families can enjoy our end-of-year celebrations with their cadets.

Dinner is being delivered to your home. It is IMPORTANT that you fill in the Virtual Awards Banquet Form to indicate your attendance and any dietary restrictions NO LATER THAN 1900 (7:00pm) on Monday, 31 May. Failing to do so does not prevent you from attending, but you’ll be on your own for dinner.

If any of our cadets will not be attending the banquet on Wednesday, please let me know as soon as possible.

We’re relaxing the formality of the Awards Banquet as well, considering the medium. We would normally be in 1A (CAF) or C1A (cadets) for an event like this, but we’re going to stick to 3B (CAF) and C3F (cadets) for the virtual event.

See you on Wednesday!

809 Newark Squadron Annual Cadet Awards Banquet

Every year, the evening before our Annual Ceremonial Review, we hold an awards banquet to celebrate the accomplishments of our cadets. Those subscribed to the web site will have already received an invitation via evite.com, but we’re coming down to our deadline for registration and need to know who and how many will be in attendance. The full invitation can be found below. Please take the time to RSVP before Monday’s deadline, indicating how many will be in attendance, including your cadet.

ACAB Invitation 2018

RSVP Reminder

Just a friendly reminder that we have a hard deadline approaching for the Awards Banquet RSVPs. As Capt Palumbo mentioned at Closing Parade on Wednesday, the 17th of May is the absolute last day to RSVP for the event. If you haven’t done so already, please RSVP for yourself, your cadet(s) and any guests you may be bringing via the following Evite link:

(Note: You need to be logged into the site to see the links.)

If you have already replied, please make sure your numbers include your cadet(s) and use the above link to adjust if they don’t.

At the same time, please RSVP to the Annual Ceremonial Review invitation below if you haven’t already. There will be a BBQ following the event, so we need numbers to ensure that there is enough food and drink to go around. Please make sure you include your cadet(s) in your RSVP for this event as well.

We’re looking forward to a great close-out to the training year. Thank you for helping us celebrate it!
