Wreaths Across America is quickly approaching.  We still need to sell as many wreaths as possible.  Remember, we are soliciting wreaths for veteran's graves.  Our goal is to place wreaths on the 500 veteran graves at Belvedere Cemetary on Arden Road.  We are still far from our goal.  Please ensure you are making every effort to support this worthwhile cause.  The local deadline has been extended to 20 November to get checks and forms to 1st Lt Augustine.  Simply, mention it to people you come in contact with and let them know the significance of the event.  If they ask how they can donate, direct them to our website.  The link is on the main page.  Our squadron gets a portion of the sales price, so the money will be put to good use for not only Cadet Programs, but the other activities the squadron undertakes throughout the year.

Questions regarding CPFT have arisen.  The primary question is "will CPFT only be available monthly on the first Saturday as part of Emergency Services training?"  The answer to this question is three-fold:  1) Yes, CPFT will continue to be part of the first Saturday Emergency Services training as it provides a portion of the meeting when we will already be sweaty, grimy, and dirty from the training; 2) Yes, CPFT is a requirement for promotion and therefore should be made available at least monthly; 3) Per CAP Regulation 52-16, cadets plan the meetings based on CAP Regulation 52-16, paragraph 1-5, and figure 1-1. If you desire CPFT to be conducted at another time, please contact to your squad leader and cadet staff.

Until Thursday evening, RAPTORS RULE!
