M&M Correction

On Monday Dec 10 we sent home a flyer with the cadets advertising a fund raising opportunity with the M&M Meat Shop on Fourth Ave. There was an error in the printing of this flyer which read that this fundraiser was for Dec 6, 2012. The correct date should be Thursday Dec 13, 2012. The corrected flyer is attached.


Please consider going to M&M Meats on Fourth Ave in St. Catharinrs on Dec 13, as 23 Squadron will recieve a donation of 10% on your purchases made that day. Please let your friends, family and neighbours know that they can support the Squadron by visiting M&M's that day and don't forget to mention why you are there.

Mess Dinner to the End of the Year

Mess Dinner

As has been announced the mess dinner is being held at the Optimist Hall on Dec 10. Cadets are to wear full dress uniform without head-dress or name tags. Senior cadets (Sgt and up) may substitute a white shirt and black bow tie in lieu of the normal blue shirt and black tie. All cadets please remember that this is a fun but also formal event, and manners and table etiquette are required. 

We are in need of parents to help serve for this meal. If you are available please contact Mr. Berezowski or Capt Derousie to volunteer. Your help is greatly appreciated.

Over-nighter (Dec 15)

This is a chance for the cadets of the squadron to come together on less formal grounds. The night usually contains some uniform prep/teaching but also games, movies and the flight simulator will be out for cadets who want to try their hand at flying. Cadets are asked to arrive at the Optimist Hall at 1830 (6:30 pm) on Dec 15 and are to be picked up by 0830h on Dec 16. This is a non-uniform event and cadets need to bring with them a sleeping bag and any things they need to a stay over night.

Christmas Carnival
Dec 17 1830-2030h It is the tradition of the Squadron that the final night before the Holiday break is a carnival that is hosted by the Sponsoring Committee and parent volunteers. This is a non-uniform fun night where parents and family of the cadets are invited to come. This is also an event where parent support is critical. If you are interested in helping out and having a good time please contact Mr. Berezowski or the Sponsoring Committee.
