Wake-a-thon

Its that time of the year again:wake-a-thon!!!
Its the sleepover without the sleep, its the bee's knees, the cat's pyjamas...its a good time.
Come one, came all to this year's event. We will be meeting at the Pembroke Armoury and bussing it to Renfrew for the festivities and some friendly competition. All meals will be provided but feel free to bring along peanut free snacks. Activities are plentiful but include marksmanship, trivia, sports, and air bands.
Cadets are encouraged to collect as many pledges as possible. There will be prizes for the top fundraisers. A mimimum pleadge of $25 is required to participate.

Wake-a-thon is taking place February 26th-27th. A permission form is required.

Lottery Ticket Draw Coming Soon!

Please remember to return all lottery ticket stubs as soon as possible. There will be a draw taking place on March 2nd for squadron gear and other prizes! Cadets will receive one entry to the draw for each booklet of tickets sold.

Cadets are reminded that they are required to sell at least one booklet of lottery tickets. Cadets who do not meet this expectation may not be permitted to attend certain activities such as the year end trip. Since the money generated by the sale of lottery tickets goes towards both the provincial committee of the Air Cadet League and the squadron, cadets are encouraged to sell as many tickets as possible to improve the quality of the program offered. There are some cadets who have sold 5 books so far!

Did you ever wonder...
