NERPA505 Update for the Week of 31 October, 2010

Greetings 505! Thanks to everyone who helped make our Open House and Membership Night successful!  Special thanks to State Rep. Kathy Rapp for being on hand to present a Wright Brothers citation, and to Maj. Chuck Wedge for making the trip to be of encouragement to us.

(1) Tuesday night is Monthly Safety Briefing and testing night.  All of our cadets are eligible to test on something so all are encouraged to study up on Aerospace and/of leadership.  PT and drill testing will also be available.  The uniform of the day is BDUs.  Please bring appropriate "modest" exercise gear if you plan to participate in PT.
(2) Cadets and senior members are encouraged to review their eServices record for accuracy on a regular basis.  For some reason, subscriptions to Volunteer Magazine get occasionally deactivated.  On eServices, select CAAP Magazine Administration from the left column and be sure the "Add" button has been selected.
(3) Dates to remember:
  • Group 1 Conference and Banquet- Maj. Gary Fleming, Group 1 Commander, extended this invitation to us:  "I would like to take this opportunity to invite all of you to the Group One Conference this coming weekend.   It is Saturday, 06 November 2010.  The Conference will be held at the Crowne Plaza Pittsburgh International which is off the Business 60 off of I-376 that now connects to Rt 422 and the old Rt 60.  The hotel is across from the Air Reserve Base main gate."  See attached Group 1 document.
  • Squadron 503 plans to host a Survival Training Weekend on 13-14 Nov. Members who are interested should inform Capt. Hagberg or Ch. Matheny.
  • Group 6 Conference and Banquet, 20 Nov, at the Radisson Hotel, West Middlesex, PA.  A registration form is attached.  Let's plan to have a great turnout from 505!  RSVP deadline is 1 Nov., so if you plan to go you need to get it in the mail!
