WE HAVE NEED OF FIVE MORE CADETS ON SUNDAY. If you can cover an extra shift on Sunday, please let a staff or SSC member know as when you arrive for your first shift. In addition, one or two cadets needed to be moved to Saturday from Friday because there weren’t enough spots to accommodate. If you are one of these cadets and cannot be available for your new shift, we can move you over to Sunday as an option.
Staff will be on-site at the squadron to facilitate departure, but we need PARENT DRIVERS. Please have your parent come inside the office when you arrive if they are able to drive you out to your location. They will need to provide proof of valid drivers license and insurance.

Our semi-annual Cadet Tag Days fundraiser is once again upon us!
Cadets will be posted in various prominent areas of the town over the weekend, soliciting public support for our program. Make sure you are on time for your shift and wearing your uniform. The weather forecast is dry with temperatures in the single digits. Cadets can decide if they want to wear turtlenecks (C3) or dress shirt and tie (C2) based on the temperature. Parka is recommended.
Lunch will be provided for those cadets participating for the entire day on Saturday. Arrive five minutes before your shift time.
Staff will be on-site at the squadron to facilitate departure. Parent volunteers should come in with their cadets and will need to provide a valid driver’s license and proof of automobile insurance.
At the risk of sounding like a Volkswagen commercial, we need parent volunteers to get cadets to and from their tag day shifts on the 2nd and 3rd of December. Please see me tonight or on Wednesday if you’re available to help. Thank you in advance for your assistance!
