NERPA505 Update

Greetings 505, on another beautiful day! I hope all of you enjoyed your holiday.

Current events: (select link) "Lapses hinder rescue teams hunting lost planes" Hopefully, the improved information flow suggested by the story will will also improve SAR efforts. We must never forget how important what we do in CAP is to others.

(1) Tuesday is Safety Briefing and testing day. Since we have not been able to replace our testing officer yet, we will take practice quizzes instead. The uniform of the day is BDUs.
(2) Cadets and senior members who are mentoring others should plan to take fifteen or twenty minutes to review progress and offer encouragement.
(3) "Thank"s to C/2 Lt. Matheny, C/SSgt. Hagberg, and C/SSgt. Matheny for spending four hours at Wal-Mart on a beautiful Thursday afternoon raising funds for the squadron. They represented the squadron well and drew a lot of comments and compliments from passers by.
(4) Cadets who plan to attend the Cadet Conference on 17 April need to register now. The registration deadline is 7 Apr., after which Wing HQ said they will accept no more registrations. I hope as many cadets as possible can attend. The link to register online is http://pawgcadetprograms.webs.com/. Receipts must be presented at conference registration. It is wise to carry copies of your registration form and CAPF 60 to registration in the event of a red tape snarl up. Please inform Ch. Matheny or Captain Hagberg on Tuesday if you plan to attend so hotel reservations can be made. We still plan to leave for FTIG on Friday, 16 Apr., after the Color Guard posts the colors at the Republican Dinner.

Don't forget to invite a friend to the meeting! Be proud of who you are and what you do in CAP!

Semper Vigilans! See you Tuesday!
