NERPA 505 Update

Greetings from the 174th Fighter Wing, Air National Guard, Syracuse NY!  Classes for CAP Corporate Learning Course are over for today, so I thought I'd get the update out a little early since I probably won't have time tomorrow.

(1) Capt, and C/SrA Hagberg will be unavailable 12-19 Sep.
(2) Tuesday's meeting will proceed as scheduled.  The emphasis will be Emergency Services and the uniform of the day will be BDUs.  In view of the upcoming SAREX, I strongly encourage everyone to attend the class session and discussion.
(3) As most of you know, our cadets have been invited by State Rep. Kathy Rapp to participate in a function honoring Vietnam veterans on 19 Sep.  Cadets who participate will help in posting various flags at the beginning of the ceremony, so they must wear Class B blues with a tie.  The event will be at St. Joseph's dining room, so we will plan to meet there at 1030 hrs.  Cadets who will be able to attend please notify Chaplain Matheny no later than the upcoming squadron meeting.
(4) All of our members are encouraged to plan ahead to participate in the 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. This will also be an excellent time to get to know members from other squadrons.
(5) The time to register for the PA Wing Conference and Cadet Conference is now.  If you plan to attend, please inform Capt. Hagberg or Chaplain Matheny.  Also, Registration for the Group 6 Conference and Banquet is open, and will close on 1 Nov.  Again, please inform Capt. Hagberg or Ch. Matheny if you wish to attend.
(6) The squadron plans to have a fundraiser at WalMart during the first weekend in October.  We would like to have a couple of cadets available on Friday afternoon and at least four cadets on Saturday.  Please inform Ch. Matheny if you can help with the fundraiser.  The fundraiser at BiLo resulted in about $84.00.

  Semper Vigilans!  

See you Tuesday!
