posted in: Special events | 0

All,

We have a fundraising opportunity to work with vendors at the Air Show.  This offer is being extended to senior members and cadets, as well as family members of CAP personnel.  Volunteers will be assisting with the water/soda booths, and on-site training will be provided.

Youth must be at least 14 to participate.  All volunteers will receive free admission, parking in a designated area, and a voucher for two meals (morning and afternoon).  Most importantly however, you’ll be helping our squadron raise much needed funds!  If you’re able to help on Saturday, Sunday, or both days, please register as soon as possible.  If you’ve already signed up through the Wing website, please indicate that on the form and we’ll try to reassign you.

Questions can be directed to 2d Lt Deb Flynn at deb.flynn@ny030.org.  Use the following form to sign up, and thank you for your support of the squadron!

Squadron,
 
The Sullivan County squadron is organizing a trip to West Point on June 8th.  The trip is still being planned, but will include a stop at the visitors center and a tour of the physical education facilities.
 
One stop on the trip will be at the Indoor Obstacle Course Test.  All West Point Cadets must pass this test before they can graduate. 
 
Times are still being ironed out, but expect to meet at West Point about 9am and leave the post early afternoon.  There is a limit of 25 cadets, and names will be taken first come first serve. Parents and siblings are welcome to come, but only CAP cadets will be allowed to participate in the IOCT.
 
Attached is a video that shows the details of the IOCT.  We will be guided on the IOCT (and the rest of the tour) by Colonel Kevin Bigelman, the Deputy Directer of the West Point Physical Education Department.  If you’re interested, use the signup form below:
