NERPA505 Update for the Week of 19 Dec 2010

Hello 505! I hope everyone is enjoying the holiday season and staying warm and safe.  Please keep our Squadron Commander, Capt. Hagberg, in your thoughts and prayers as he recovers from outpatient surgery.  He will not be able to attend the meeting this Tuesday, but we look forward to seeing him next week!  Maj. Brown, our Deputy Commander for Cadets, will be in command.

Now might be a good time to review some good winter driving tips.  Even those of us who are experienced winter weather drivers need to stay sharp to stay safe.  A poster suitable for display at work or school can be found here: http://www.dmv.state.pa.us/pdotforms/misc/Winter_Driving_Tips.pdf.  More helpful information can be found at: http://www.dot.state.pa.us/Internet/pdNews.nsf/WinterHome?OpenFrameset.  A good resource to check before a trip in Pa. is the Pa. Travel Information Page at: http://www.511pa.com/.

(1) Due to the cancellation of the meeting last Tuesday, we will carry over Character Development and leadership emphasis to this Tuesday.  The uniform of the day will be BDUs, but dress as warmly as the weather requires.  If you don't have a field jacket or parka, a warm civilian coat is acceptable.
(2) Testing opportunities may be provided, pending the availability of one of our testing officers.
(3) We'll plan to spend some time discussing things we want to work into the schedule for next year.  Bring some ideas so we can do some brain storming!  We especially need to set a date for our next squadron dinner.
(4) Dates to remember:
  • January 8, Group 6 Commander's Call at New Castle, PA.
  • ? Squadron Dinner (we need to get this scheduled ASAP!)

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