Parents and Cadets,

We are aware of the difficulties to volunteer your time for tag day this October since it is on Thanksgiving weekend; however, we only have half of the youth participating for this mandatory event.

Tag Days help offset costs for activities such as Bush Weekends, Power Flying Days, Gliding Days, year-end party, training, competitions and clinics for the cadets. In addition to assisting with the cost of running these events, each individual cadet’s Tag Day volunteer hours weigh heavily toward acceptance for summer camps, museum sleepovers and special activities.

Friday evening is full but we need youth Saturday morning and Saturday afternoon. We are also in need of drivers for Saturday. If possible it would be appreciated if some cadets already volunteering for Friday evening could change to Saturday afternoon. For those of you who volunteer for 2 shifts you will be appropriately rewarded!

If we do not get more participants or cadets volunteering to change shifts, we will unfortunately need to change your shift without your input.

It is imperative you send your availability ASAP. Please scan and send your Tag Day form to Rita Paul rita.paul@bell.ca or Lorna Budge surgicalsweet@rogers.com or send an e-mail with your name, rank, flight, age, allergies and the time you will volunteer.

We need your participation to make this a worry free, event packed year. If you are unable to attend you must speak with Major Dixon.

872 Parents and Cadets, The 872 Royal Canadian Air Cadets Squadron of Kanata will be conducting our semi-annual Tag Day on Friday, April 29 and Saturday, April 30, 2011.

This is a mandatory fund raising event that helps off set costs for activities such as Bush Weekends, Power Flying Days, Gliding Days, training, competitions and clinics for the cadets. In addition to assisting with the cost of running these events, each individual cadet’s volunteer hours weigh heavily toward acceptance for summer camps, museum sleepovers and special activities.

It is expected that each cadet will volunteer approximately 4 hours for this fund raising event. In addition to cadets, parent volunteers are also required to provide rides and supervision for the cadets at each store location.

Please arrive at A.Y. Jackson 15 minutes before your scheduled shift in full uniform with appropriate pieces for the weather.

If your cadet does not have a uniform, black dress pants, white shirt and black tie with weather appropriate outerwear will be suitable.

The shifts will be Friday 6:00 PM – 9:30 PM, Saturday 9:00 AM – 12:30PM or 12:00 PM – 3:30 PM.

A snack and drink will be provided for each cadet.

Please fill out and return this form on Wednesday April 20 or you can e-mail the information required on the attached form and shift choice to surgicalsweet@rogers.com or rita.paul@bell.ca

Thanks and hope to see you on April 29 or 30,

Rita Paul & Lorna Budge Tag Day Coordinators
