AIRPORT FEST 2014 – Cadets needed

Calling all Air Cadets!  There will be an estimated 2,000 attendees for Airport Fest ’14. The hours of the event are 1100 to 1700 on Saturday, 16 Aug 2014.

The event will be a “Wings & Wheels” event, including the antique military vehicle club. Cadet volunteers are required for the following:

a) Ground side parking: 4 cadets for each of 2 shifts – 1100 to 1300, and then 1300 to 1500. [total of 8 personnel]   
b) Air side security: 2 cadets for each of 3 shifts – 1100 to 1300; 1300 to 1500; and 1500 to 1700. [total of 6 personnel]
This is open to all current Air Cadets at 809 Sqn. These hours would count directly toward your high school volunteer hour requirements.
In addition to the above, we will have a recruiting table at the Airport Fest for the day. We will need 2 cadets to hand out material and speak with the general public about what makes Air Cadets such a fantastic opportunity. This is the perfect chance for those returning from summer training to meet up with their friends and exchange stories!
