NERPA505 Update for the Week of 5 Dec 2010

Hello 505, from the ice cap on Scandia Road!  We measured 18" at about 3 pm, and a couple of more inches have fallen since then.  This is the second week in row I've gotten this out a day late.  I'll try to get back on track next week.

Congratulations, and welcome to C/AB Mahaney on the approval of his membership to 505!  We look forward to learning and serving community, state and nation together for many years to come.

(1) Weather conditions will determine whether or not we have a meeting tomorrow evening.  If the current warning is canceled or expires the meeting will go as scheduled.  If the warning is extended, the meeting will be canceled in accordance with our squadron safety plan.
(2) The first meeting of the month is Monthly Safety Briefing and testing night.  There are some important changes to the CAP safety program that every squadron member needs to know about.  We're blessed with two excellent testing officers now, so we can expect that testing opportunities and cadet advancements will not be interrupted.  The uniform of the day is BDUs.
(3) Cadets and senior members who plan to take part in the Wreaths Across America ceremony at 1200 hrs, 11 Dec, will practice.  I want to encourage every available squadron member to either assist or attend the event.  Captain Hagberg has worked hard to plan the event and it is an excellent opportunity to showcase our squadron's talent.  State Rep. Kathy Rapp plans to attend, possibly along with some local officials.
(4) Hopefully, we can take a few minute to talk about plans for our second squadron dinner.
(5) Dates to remember:
  • Saturday, 11 Dec, beginning at 1200 hrs, is the target for laying wreaths on veteran's graves at the Pine Grove Cemetery, Russell.  All cadets and senior members who will be available to participate should notify Capt. Hagberg.
CAP in the news:  Gifts of gratitude ; Civil Air Patrol, teaching, leading by example

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