NERPA505 Update

Greetings, 505, on a beautiful Sunday evening!  "Thanks!" to everyone who showed up to help at the Russell Jubilee parade last Saturday.  Everyone did a great job and represented the squadron well.  Thanks, too, to the Petersons for volunteering their vehicle to drive in the parade behind the Color Guard.

(1) Tuesday is Testing, PT, and Drill night.  There will be opportunities to everything needed to work towards the next achievement.  If you are not sure what you need to do for your next achievement, ask your cadet mentor.  If they cannot help you, they know where to go for an answer.  The uniform of the day is BDUs.  Bring appropriate clothing and shoes for PT.  If the track at Beaty is available, we will plan to use it.
(2) We have been able to secure the hotdog stand at BiLo for Saturday, 5 Jun.  It is also available for 12 and 19 Jun, if we have some senior members and cadets who have time to man the stand.  Please let me or Capt Hagberg know by Tuesday night if you will be available.
(3) For Senior Members and Cadets who are not going to the Basic Encampment: Re. Maj. Nick Melnick, the Clarion Squadron will be going to Hearts Content on 19-20 Jun (staying over the 18th and 19th) to practice compass navigation, GPS navigation, and orienteering.  Please inform Capt. Hagberg or me if you want to participate.  You should have a basic field pack, including canteens or camel pack, and safety gear.  You also need a CAPF 101 card to start a Ground Team training record.  If you have any questions, write them down and don't hesitate to ask!
(3) Just a reminder to be aware of when your membership is due to be renewed.  Membership can be renewed online via eServices until your anniversary date.  After that, it needs to be renewed by mail or phone.

  Semper Vigilans!    See you Tuesday, and don't forget to bring a friend!  Be proud of who you are and what you do in CAP!
