Parents & Cadets,

By now, many of you will be aware of the news article in today’s paper about charges laid in St. Catharines against the Commanding Officer of 68 Army Cadet Corps.  For any questions or concerns arising from this serious situation, I have been directed to send you to the Central Region Public Affairs Officer:

Captain Cory Lohnes: phone – 705-424-1200 ext 7045

The investigation is currently underway. As I receive updates, I will be sure to pass them to you in a timely manner. At this time, I only have the information contained in the news article.

Staff and Sponsoring Committee members have been directed to send you to me, or to Capt Lohnes for any additional questions.

Sincerely,

Captain T. Palumbo, CD

Commanding Officer, 809 Newark Squadron

Due to a lack of cadet availability, and a change in timings, we will NOT be supporting Grace United Church this weekend for the Labour Day Bazaar.

Next year: we will be doing sign-up in June to ensure our participation.

Thanks to those cadets who did make themselves available – we appreciate it!

We need some cadet help on Labour Day Weekend.

Same location as last year: Grace United Church, 222 Victoria Ave in NOTL. (This is where we hold our Mess Dinner, and why we help out!)

We need cadets to help set-up on Friday, September 4th at 4pm. For probably an hour. Then to help with the breakfast on Saturday, September 5th from 8am-1030am and 1030-1pm. We only need 5 cadets for each shift. So please give us some time!

Remember: all of these hours count toward your High School Volunteer Hours graduation requirement.

Dress: Squadron T-shirt, Squadron Ball Cap, shorts & running shoes.

EMAIL ME: tammypalumbo@yahoo.ca with the times you can help. Thank you in advance for helping out an organization that supports Air Cadets!

Several times throughout the year the Squadron Sponsoring Committee gets together to sort accumulated bottles and drop them at the Beer Store for the refunds.

This weekend: Sat 29 Aug 1-4pm (VanNoort’s Greenhouse) and Sun 30 Aug 1030-12 (Beer Store) they are looking for more help.

If you are available – cadets or parents – please email Mr. Tony Hendriks, Sponsor Chairman, at: mon00848@loblaw.ca 

To date, we do not have enough volunteers. We were hoping for 10-15 cadets to help support this local event  – we have 5. Please give me your name via email: tammypalumbo@yahoo.ca if you can help out.

The event is this Sat from 10-4pm at the NOTL Airport. Dress is summer trg – see previous post for details.

Thank you in advance for your help at this event!
