C2B: EVERYONE – dress rehearsal for Saturday. If the weather is like it was last wknd, we will be in short order for the parade Sat. So, tonight wear your blue dress shirt (iron it!) so we can make sure you’ll look your best.
Once again, we’re asking parents to contribute desserts and baked goods for our post-parade BBQ on Saturday. Anything that is your favourite and nut-free would be ideal, but please avoid anything that requires utensils as these will be in short supply. Cookies, brownies, butter tarts and lemon tarts (if you feel the need to be on Capt Palumbo’s good side) are all good examples. As always, we’re hoping to fill the dessert table without additional cost to the Squadron. For those who can’t bake, timbits and and store-bought cookies will be accepted with a smile, too. Desserts can either be dropped off with your cadet or brought when you come for the parade itself. Thank you in advance.
Please contact Mrs. Mehrotra on the Sponsoring Committee to let her know what you’ll be dropping off on Saturday. Email: n_mehrotra@hotmail.com
PS: Marked Tupperware containers make returning dishes easier.

Just like an FTX, we are asking parents for donations of baked goods for the luncheon following the parade on Sat. Any item as long as it is peanut/nut-free is welcome. Bake or buy – we aren’t picky! Cookies, squares, brownies, or timbits – you decide. Gluten/dairy-free baking is also welcome (but please LABEL!).
Please label your container with your LAST NAME and either send it to the parade with your cadet on Sat morning at 9am, or bring it with you when you arrive and give it to Mrs. Mehrotra.
Tonight is our last Wed night before Annual on Sat. Please make sure you arrive on time and ready to do your best.

CADETS: CO’s Parade last night was a good example of the efforts our cadets have been making toward improving their uniforms. Check out the link if you need a little more help with your boots. Don’t forget that haircuts are required for males. Ladies – your hair was perfect last night, keep up the good work. We have 2 cadets poised to surpass Capt Jarrell’s boot perfection – I know you can do it!
Parents: I issued a challenge to your cadets: 30 mins a week outside of our parade night for Cadet Drill & Uniform improvement. Given the workload at school and other team commitments, I suggested they take 10 mins 3X a week – 10 mins per boot, and another 10 mins practicing drill in the house. Don’t worry, they can call the commands in their heads – but should use a mirror to practice their salute, and practice attention, stand at ease, and marching in the hallways. Boots are not required. We have approx 3.5 months until Annual Ceremonial Review to make our Parade Drill the best it can be, and only 2 months until the NAG Drill Competition!
I am looking forward to the results. Should your cadet need any help with their uniform, they can refer to the website Dress Regulations, talk to their Flight Commander, or speak with OCdt Couroux – he knows more about uniforms than I do. Together, we can encourage them to be their absolute best. As always, feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns,

Wed night is a Dress Rehearsal for Annual Parade on Sat.
DRESS: C-1. For everyone. We need to see what (if anything) needs to be addressed before Sat.
Complete run-through of parade, including mock presentations. Photos will also be taken. Please make sure you have a HAIRCUT if needed.
We are once again asking parents to contribute some baked goods for our post-parade BBQ on Saturday. Anything that is your favourite and nut-free. From cookies, to brownies to lemon tarts (Capt Palumbo’s fav) we are hoping to fill the dessert table so that it is not an additional cost to the Sqn. Can’t bake? Timbits are always a hit. Thank you in advance for contributing, last year’s treats were delicious and we can’t wait to see what this year brings.
Contact Mrs. Mehrotra on the Sponsoring Committee to let her know what you’ll be dropping off on Sat. Email: n_mehrotra@hotmail.com
