November 6, 2018 Newsletter
Welcome back to 704 Air Force City Cadet Squadron!
Thank you to all the Cadets who participated in the Legion Poppy Day and assisted at both the Trenton and Frankford Legion dinner events.
Congratulations to our Orienteering team for a top three team placement and to two of our cadets for placing in the top three individually at the regional competition last weekend.
Important Reminders
1. Remembrance Day Vigil Permission Forms MUST be returned by Wednesday November 7th. There will be someone at Marc Garneau from 6:30 to 8pm on Wednesday November 7th so that they can be returned. The forms were handed out on Monday but if you need another copy it can be printed from the link highlighted below. Please take a few extra minutes to ensure your uniforms are in tip top shape for this important event.
2. 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.
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.
