Washington DC Trip!

This is a reminder that we’re fewer than two months away from our planned March Break trip to Washington DC and that the next instalment of $125 was due last Wednesday night. If you haven’t submitted your cheque, please do so tonight or this Wednesday. Several cadets are a month behind, both cheques are needed to maintain your spot on the trip.

Also, due to the requirements of some of our tour destinations, it is IMPORTANT that those going on the trip submit their passport information to me tonight or on Wednesday.

While it was previously thought that other forms of identification (NEXUS passes, Enhanced Driver’s Licenses, &c) would be sufficient, it turns out that this is only true for the actual border crossing. Secure destinations like The Pentagon require actual passports for visitors.

If you have any questions, please see me directly.
