October 10, 2018 Newsletter
Welcome back to 704 Air Force City Cadet Squadron!
Important Reminders
1. OPC Lottery Tickets: The sale of these tickets benefit our Squadron so we are able to attend trips and optional activities. These funds also help maintain the gliders and tow planes, so you can go gliding. Each Cadet is expected to sell one book. As we did last year, our Sponsoring Committee would like $60.00 up front from each cadet for the book of tickets. When the tickets are sold, return only the stubs and keep the money. If you have not already done so please bring in your $60 on Monday and pick up your tickets.
2. New recruits and Cadets requiring uniform exchanges are to wear black pants and a white shirt until sized and uniform parts are in stock.
3. We are always in need of Parent Volunteers of all types, whether it is for the parents committee and canteen or for other activities. If you are interested in helping out, please contact the Commanding Officer.
4. Although there is a canteen available on most Monday evenings to purchase snacks we like to encourage healthy eating and therefore are asking parents to help out by providing fresh fruit (whole apples, oranges or bananas) for cadets on Monday evenings. If you are interested in making a donation, please let someone on the parents committee know so that you can be added to the schedule.
Please add the following events to your calendar for the 2018-2019 Training Year:
Standard Monday night training will not be posted here unless there is something special happening such as Sports night that may occur at a different location.
