Our next training night will consist of regular classes. IT IS NOT A SPORTS NIGHT!!!

We will also have two sign-up sheets on Wednesday; 
> Gliding day Sign-Up
> Poppy Day Sign-Up

GLIDING DAY - SATURDAY 5 NOVEMBER 2011

This year, our squadron is very lucky that we have received two Autumn Gliding Days (for a total of three Gliding Days this year), rather than the usual single Gliding Day.

This Gliding Day will run the same way as our previous Gliding Day in October;> Parents must transport their cadets TO and FROM CFD Mountainview.
> Please Sign-Up Wednesday night for the time you prefer (0900 hrs - 1230 hrs OR 1230 hrs - 1600 hrs). 
   > The Sign-Up sheet will be posted on the rolling white board at the entrance.
> Temperatures on the Airfield are often quite cool and windy and Temperatures in the glider are much colder. Please Dress Appropriately!!
> Washrooms are available.> It may be a good idea to eat breakfast/lunch before arriving.
> Bring your own water to drink.



POPPY DAY - FRIDAY 4 NOVEMBER 2011

Poppy Day is similar to Tag Day where Cadets will go to a store and hand out poppies to those in need (preferably for a donation). We are 'selling' poppies for the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 99 Belleville.
"All poppy money collected by a Legion branch stays within that local community and pays for medical equipment, home services and long-term care facilities for ex-service people in need of financial assistance."
