Cadet and Senior Volunteers Needed to Assist with the Warren County Winterfest

Warren County Winterfest will be 21-23 Jan 11.  The Winterfest organizers have asked if we can help with parking again this year, especially on the most busy day of Saturday, 22 Jan.  This will give cadets and senior members who don't mind being cold and outdoors an opportunity to add to the 60 community service hours necessary for earning the CAP Community Service ribbon.  Hours can also be added by helping distribute Winterfest posters to county businesses.

Cadets and senior members who are interested in helping distribute Winterfest posters and/or assisting with Winterfest parking on 22 Jan, please contact Ch Matheny as soon as possible.  I planned to have the posters at the last meeting, but it was canceled due to severe weather.  If you wish to help with the posters, send an email or contact me at 6886940 and I will drop some off at your home.

Members who assist with parking should plan to wear BDUs and field jacket or parka, or civilian clothing if they have no suitable cold weather uniform.  Warm boots and gloves are essential.  If you do not have a safety vest for directing traffic, let me know and I will lend you one.  Please let me know, too, if you desire to participate and transportation is an issue.  All participants must be up to date on CAP safety briefings.

I have been informed that participation letters for those who served last season will be provided when I pick up the new ones for this season.  Due to an oversight while the Winterfest committee was being reorganized, the letters were overlooked and not issued last year.
