Welcome Back and NCO Reminders

All,

I hope everyone has had a wonderful, restful summer vacation. As back-to-school time nears, so does the start of the 2019-20 Training Year at 87.

Our first night back will be 4 Sep with the following week (11 Sep) being our annual Open House BBQ. If you have any friends or family members that would enjoy cadets, this is the perfect opportunity to have them check us out, have a tour, and enjoy some food.

Please share our Facebook event page here: https://www.facebook.com/events/475603819670147/

Reminders:

All cadets are reminded that they are required to join and use Slack. Slack is available on any web browser, or as a downloaded app on any computer, iPhone or Android phone. Join here: http://87eagle.ca/resources/how-to-use-slack/
All NCOs are required to answer a poll that was circulated on Slack by WOII N. Norio about the upcoming NCO meeting. Find it on the #nco-corner channel.
Reminder to start working on your uniforms. Our first activity to wear them will be the Battle of Britain parade on 15 Sep. Get started now.
This years Mandatory Events letter will be distributed shortly in order to make sure maximum participation in mandatory events.

Have a great week everyone,

Lt C. Bowman
