809 Newark Squadron Annual Ceremonial Review 2018

It’s hard to believe that we’re coming up on the final month of our training year, but that’s exactly where we are. Time flies when you’re having fun.

Attached below is the invitation for 809 Newark Royal Canadian Air Cadet Squadron’s 47th Annual Ceremonial Review to be held on the 26th of May, 2018 at the Niagara-on-the-Lake District 3 Fire Station at 1100h (11:00am).

This is our cadets’ opportunity to demonstrate to family, community, and other supporters some of the things we have learned throughout the year. It’s a time of accomplishment, where our cadets are recognized for their many achievements. It is also bittersweet as we say farewell to some of our senior cadets, who will be leaving us to embark on new challenges. Throughout all of this, the common theme is pride in our cadets, their ambitions, their dedication, their achievements, and our squadron as a whole.

The memories we create today will live on in the memories of all who follow.

We are 809!

Immortal.

ACR 2018 Invitation

Parents: we need some treats!

Parents: if you are willing/able to bring baked goods to our Annual Ceremonial Review on Saturday to be used as dessert for the BBQ, please send a marked tupperware container to the parade with your cadet.

We need everything to be NUT free.

If you would like to contribute, but have no time to bake, consider purchasing something from your local grocer.

If you have questions, please talk with either Capt Palumbo or Mrs Mehrotra. Thanks in advance!

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.

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