NERPA505 Update

Greetings 505! I hope everyone had a great weekend. School starts Tuesday, so those of us who drive need to be alert of for children and school buses. This is a great time to talk to friends and classmates about CAP! We will start working on school visits to set up informational and recruiting displays right away. I will try to let cadets know when we will be visiting their school.

Thanks to Lts. Brian Orris and Pat Farrell for renewing their memberships, returning our strength to fourteen. Although neither have been able to attend meetings regularly, they are both assets to our squadron and are appreciated for what they are able to do.

(1) Tuesday is testing and safety briefing night. The uniform of the day is BDUs. Everyone who needs PT should bring appropriate exercise and running gear. The safety briefing is needed by all members in order to participate in anything other than classroom activities.
(2) Cadets Evan Matheny and Daniel Hagberg will give a brief report on what they learned during the Cadet Advisory Council meeting. Captain Hagberg will advise us on pertinent information from the Commander's Call.
(3) There is a Group 6 SAREX planned for 23-25 Oct, possibly in the Franklin area. The goal is to get as many Group 6 members signed off on Ground Team Member Level III as possible. We have covered enough material in our ES classes over the summer that we should have no trouble getting all active members signed off. Please plan ahead and mark your calendars.
(4) The squadron plans to conduct a fundraiser at BiLo Market on 4 Sep, the Friday before Labor Day weekend. We need enough manpower, seniors, cadets, or parents, to staff the hot dog stand and, hopefully, a table with a display inside the foyer of the store. Please let Capt Hagberg know if you can help.
(5) Please keep track of when your membership is due to expire and plan to renew in advance. If you allow your membership to lapse, you will not be able to renew on eServices and will have to do it by mail or phone.

Semper Vigilans!

See you Tuesday!
