Gliding Follow-up (2)

It appears that the link send for the sign-up sheets in the original follow-up post doesn’t work when accessed from email. This one provides a more functional link.

Gliding Follow-up

As a follow-up to Capt Palumbo’s post about gliding this weekend, cadets are reminded that priority for gliding is by training level and prior experience. Level 1 cadets who have not participated previously will have first priority, followed by remaining level 1 cadets, then level 2 cadets, &c.

A sign-up sheet has been added to the web site in order to track which cadets will be in attendance. The link is provided in this post, but you must either be logged into the site to see it or access it directly from the email message.

Baked Goods for Post-parade BBQ on Saturday

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.
