President Update November 7, 2009

Hi all,


I hope that you've had a nice week. I'm so proud of the cadets for their efforts in the Veteran's Day parade. Every time I go and watch them, I feel such pride for our cadets serving those who have valiantly served our country. It is quite humbling to see the crowd with tears in their eyes or signs that say "thank you"...this parade means something to so many people. I am so glad that we get to be a part of this event and want to send a special thanks to our cadets for another job well done. Thanks also to Anne Robinson for graciously taking time out of her schedule to drive the bus for the cadets. I for one am truly grateful!!
Just a reminder that there is no school on Wednesday due to the Veteran's Day holiday.
So, here's the scoop for this next week:
We have Terry Sanford coming up on Saturday. Don't forget that the cost is $10.00 which will cover the cost of the competition fees. Lunch is provided by the generous donations of our parents. Thank you, yet again, for all you do to support the Corps. It really means so much. We will be serving sandwiches again, as it is great to keep the uniforms neat and tidy and the cadets say they feel better eating a lighter meal rather than a really heavy one.
We will need the following for approx. 80 people:

Meat
Cheese
Lettuce
Tomato
Potato Salad
Pasta Salad
Veggie Tray
Fruit
Chips
Dessert
Canned Drinks

Please let me know if you are able to help out. Also, below, we have directions to Terry Sanford. We will be meeting at the hangar at 5:30 am. and will return around 7:00 p.m. WE HAD QUITE A FEW CADETS WHO WERE LATE TODAY... PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR CADET IS ON TIME AND DRESSED IN UNIFORM!!! Also, make sure you listen out for a phone call on Saturday evening so we can inform you of our exact arrival time. We don't want Major and Sergeant to have to wait much longer than our arrival time, especially with such a long day of competition. Anyway,we look forward to another successful drill competition and thank you so very much for your support!

Have a great day everyone.
