This Friday, August 18th, the off-broadway play Black Angels Over Tuskegee will be presented at Eisenhower Hall Theater, West Point, in honor of Benjamin O. Davis and the new barracks being named after him. The play will begin at 8 pm, but plan to arrive early as nearby parking is limited. This is a great show for cadets interested in WWII history and the Tuskegee Airmen.

See this link for more information about the show:  https://www.blackangelsovertuskegee.com

Thanks to 2d Lt Oines for passing along this information!  

ALCON,

This is a reminder that today is the 4-H Family Fun Day at their Education Center in Otisville. CAP will be performing a model rocket launch as a demonstration for the 4-H youth, and we’ll be assisting them in launching their own.

We’ve also been asked to assist with parking. You must be at least 16 to do this. Food will be provided to those who help with the rocket launch and parking.

Please note that a sign up form was put out with the last email. If you are coming to this event intending to participate in the rocket launch/assisting with parking, please fill out the following form.

ALCON,

The squadron will be doing another aerospace education outreach with 4-H on 29 July, during their Family Fun Day – see linked flyer below. This event is open to the public, and all are welcome to attend with their families. It’s a fun event and will also be a great recruiting opportunity. 

The rocket launch will run from 6 to 7 pm. We’ll be launching our rockets as part of a demonstration for 4-H youth, and we’ll help them launch smaller rockets they’ve previously built. One of the requirements to earn the CAP rocketry badge is to attend a launch, so it’s a good opportunity for those still working on this.

We’ve also had a request from 4-H to help with parking during the event – you must be 16 years or older to do this. Food will be provided to cadets who help with the rocket launch or parking.

Please use this sign up form only if you’re participating in the launch or can help with parking for part of the day:

All,

Our squadron will be helping to represent CAP at the NY State Fair in August.  We’ll be taking the van on 23 and 30 August. If you’d like to attend, please use the following form and either email it to 1st Lt Mazanec at mike.mazanec@ny030.org or bring it to the meeting next week (20 June). Forms are due
no later than 23 June and seating is limited, so those who sign up first will be given priority. Blues are required to attend.

Cadets,

The deadline to register for encampment is next Friday, June 17th. 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 Tuesday evening. Any cadets who’d like to attend and haven’t earned their Curry Award yet (first promotion) need to email me asap at sean.flynn@ny030.org. I hope many of you will be going this year – 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. Again, I encourage all eligible cadets to attend encampment!

V/r,

C/Capt Sean Flynn
