TAGGING - April 20-22, 2012

The Spring Tagging session is here. Once again, cadets will be asked to participate in fundraising for the squadron. Cadets must participate in a minimum of 3 shifts. If they cannot participate in 3 shifts due to extenuating circumstances, a signed letter from the parent/guardian must be submitted through the chain of command to Captain Clark. The deadline for these letters is Monday, April 23 at the start of the night. If you sign up for a shift but cannot make it due to illness or otherwise, please phone into the squadron and bring a signed letter from your parent on Monday, April 23, 2012 at the start of the night.

Cadets who do not participate in 3 tagging shifts will not be eligible to participate in any extracurricular activities until the next tagging session (fall 2012). This rule will be strictly enforced. The money raised helps pay for facilities, equipment, and trips and those who do not contribute to the fundraising will not have the opportunity to profit from the proceeds.

The tagging shifts are as follows:

Shift 1: Friday 1700-2100
Shift 2: Saturday 0900-1200
Shift 3: Saturday 1230-1800
Shift 4: Sunday 1030-1730
Shift 5: Sunday 1230-1730

Dear Parents/Guardians... WE NEED YOUR HELP!

This weekend, April 20-22, 2012 is our tagging fundraiser. In order to be successful we need drivers to get the cadets to and from their tagging locations. The sooner we can get them to their locations the more $$ we will receive to help fund the program for our children. Please come and help us. Saturday morning Starbuck's coffee will be available for those who help us out!! All we need is a copy of your valid Driver's License and Valid Insurance Pink form. We will try our best to get a location for you close to where you are headed to after dropping your child. Thank you for your support.

The Squadron Sponsoring Committee!!

1. Monday, February 13, 2012 is a regular training night, however, the dress of the day will be C-2 Full Uniform Dress with ribbons. All cadets are reminded that you should be still wearing your parkas along with your blue shirt and tie under the tunic. Wearing the parka is not optional, it is uniform and the weather is cold. That being said, cadets that have received their uniforms but not their parkas may wear a civilian jacket over the uniform. It would be wise to place your full name inside any civilian jackets and is mandatory to place your name inside all uniform parts.

   Cadets who have just received your uniforms, be sure to check out the dress regulations under the Supply section or Resources to ensure your badges are sewn on correctly and you know how to properly care for your uniform. Specific questions should be directed to your section commander.

   All cadets are reminded that hair-cuts and facial hair for males, and pant length for all cadets will be inspected on Monday. Female cadets will form up at break to check for proper hair style and nail polish. Any cadets who are not following the proper dress regulations for these items will be sent home for the evening to fix the issue. There have been many warnings and many uniform inspections that have been unsatisfactory to date. The standards have improved since September but seem to have levelled off, there is still much more improvement to be made.

2. Band, you are on duty on this week. Be sure to inform your parents that you will be a few minutes late after parade.
3. This is a reminder that cadets wanting to buy pizza to support the Europe Trip may do so before the night starts (prior to 1830hrs). The cost per slice is $2.00. Each cadet must specify if they want either cheese or pepperoni. You also have the option of pre-ordering for the following week(s).
4. The Squadron Dance is quickly approaching!
   Money for the Squadron Dance will be accepted this week. Tickets will cost $5.00 when purchased in advance or $7.00 at the door on the 20th. Cadets are to wear casual civilian clothing (appropriate as usual - no tank tops, profanity on shirts, mid-driff tops, etc.). See Poster for more details.
5. Outstanding blue ticket stubs will also be collected. This is the absolute last day to return the blue ticket stubs. These tickets were pre-paid in advance, so even if you didn't sell them, you need to fill out the stubs with your parents' information so that they can be entered into the draw. If they are not returned, you will be receiving a phone call from the Squadron Sponsoring Committee.
6. As usual, please remember that if you cannot make it into cadets for whatever reason, you must call into the squadron at 905-793-7992 to leave a message or use the Contact Us section of the website or contact your section commander.
