January Events
Optional Event Attendance
Recently we have seen cadets who are signing up for events but not attending. For any event, if you sign up to attend it is expected that you WILL be there. Many times money is put out by the squadron for activities and it is a waste or resources if cadets do not attend. If something changes and you cannot make it to an event you have signed up for you need to inform your Flight Commander or the appropriate person in charge of the event prior. If cadets continue to sign up for something and not show there will be lost priveleges for that cadet in the future.
DAYTON OHIO TRIP (IMPORTANT)
For the March Break Trip to Dayton Ohio it is important that we know names of cadets who are attending by January 19. At this time we also need a PASSPORT number for every cadet going. These need to be sent through customs well in advance. Failure to signup or provide your passport information by this date may result in your not going on the trip.
If there is a problem with the passport timing please see an officer.
