We once again celebrated nearing the end of our training year with a mess dinner for the cadets and staff. We were honoured to have three mem-bers of our affiliated unit, 408 Tactical Helicopter Squadron, in attendance. Our Cadet Liai-son Officer, Capt David Parker, a representative of the Opera-tions Section, 2Lt Keyser, and our Guest of Honour, Capt Alexia Shore. Capt Shore shared her experiences in Afghanistan, including some pictures and a video she made. All three guests furthered the cadets’ education and understanding of mess dinners by adding what I am sure will be some long standing traditions at 570 mess dinners!
There will be one last marksmanship night open to all cadets. Please stay tuned to the weekly announcement sheets for the date and time. If you have any questions, please see Lt Sutherland.
Are you on Facebook? 570 has a Facebook page where we post updates and reminders….check it out and “Like” our page.
Offers of Participation are in and have been given out to the cadets. If a cadet has applied for summer training and has not received an offer yet please do not give up hope, more offers are possible right up until the summer training starts.
The last Pipes & Drums practice will be 22 May. See 2Lt Doherty for more information.
Running Bulldog members will be participating in the Community Action Dash on 20 May at the Santa Maria Goretti Community Cen-tre. Good luck Bulldogs!
The Parent Sponsoring Committee is the main sponsor / supporter of our squadron. Mrs. Tracy Doherty is the Chairperson of the Committee. The squadron needs the support of the Parent Sponsoring Committee to augment our training and run our optional activities, including activities like our March Break trip to Ontario. We ask that all parents / guardi-ans do what they can to support the Committee. Whether you can be on the executive, volunteer for specific activities or just show your support by attending the monthly meetings; the Parent Sponsoring Committee needs you. Parents / guardians who would like more information are asked to email Tracy Doherty at
otsdoherty@shaw.ca.
It is also important that all parents / guardians contact Mrs. Doherty about Air Cadet League screening. Just like most schools and other youth organizations all our volunteers (including parents / guardians) need to be screened; even to participate in activities like driving cadets around on Poppy Day. Without screened volunteers we will be unable to participate in some currently planned activities. We thank you in advance for your cooperation in this.
