February 26th Newsletter
Welcome back to 704 Air Force City Cadet Squadron!
Lots of New Dates Added
Important Reminders
1. To report an absence for a training night, please notify one of the officers in person, OR call or text the squadron phone number OR fill out the Notice of Absence form on the website. Commenting on Facebook or telling another Cadet is not an appropriate way to notify the squadron of an absence.
2. OPC Lottery Tickets: There are a few books of tickets left that need to be returned. These ticket stubs MUST be returned by Monday March 4th at the absolute latest.
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.
5. It's time to start thinking about summer training courses. The application forms were be handed out on Monday February 4th. If you still need one they can be obtained from an officer at the school on cadets nights. All application forms MUST be completed and submitted by Monday 4th March.
