Cadets,

Sign-up for volunteering at the NY State Fair this August has begun. The Fair is a great opportunity to share Civil Air Patrol’s capabilities, help with recruiting, and have a lot of fun! Volunteers will get free admission to the Fair for working a two-hour shift helping to recruit, and of course you’re welcome to help out longer!  The Fair runs from 23 Aug to 3 Sept this year.
 
The attached link to the NY Wing website has more information and an online signup form. You’ll also need to fill out the short Squadron sign-up form, so we know who’s going and when.
 
New for this year is the opportunity for CAP members to stay overnight onsite at the 4-H Youth Building. We’ll be taking the van up on August 25th and returning the next day.  Seats are limited, so sign-up soon! 
 
If you have any questions, please email 2d Lt Deb Flynn at deb.flynn@ny030.org.

2018 Encampment information and deadline June 9th
by | posted in: Special events | 0

Cadets,

The deadline to register for encampment is coming up soon on June 9th. If you’re planning on attending and don’t have Part 2 of your application signed by Capt Granda yet, please make sure to bring it tomorrow or to next week’s meeting. Any cadets who’d like to attend and haven’t earned their Curry Award yet (first promotion) need to let senior staff know asap so they can work with you to promote. We have quite a few cadets attending this year, so if anyone’s still considering it, I hope you will attend. Here are a few things to consider:

  • encampment is needed to attend any National Cadet Special Activity (NCSA)
  • you’ll need encampment to promote beyond Chief Master Sergeant, which some of you are approaching
  • you’ll learn a lot about CAP at encampment, and it will be a great experience you’ll always remember!

Check out the encampment page on our website, or feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns at sean.flynn@ny030.org. Financial aid is available again this year at the following link: National CAP. I’ll be doing a short presentation on encampment at tomorrow’s meeting, so plan on attending if you have any questions. If you’ve never been to encampment, I strongly urge you to join us this summer!

V/r,

C/Maj Sean Flynn
Encampment Executive Officer
