Parents and Cadets,

Well another year has come and gone.  We have so far had a very successful year with a fun filled FTX, a trip to Calgary for the museum and some shopping and our very own boys’ biathlon team moving on the provincial competition.

As we are about to wind down for Christmas, I want to take this opportunity to wish all of you very Happy Holidays and all of the best in 2010 on behalf of myself and the staff of 2313 SALH RCACC (Kiwanis).

2010 and will bring some wonderful opportunities for your cadet.  With the start of the new year we will be getting our shooting program up and running.  We are also looking at doing 2 more FTX’s, a trip out to BATUS, Drill Competition and the Amazing Race to name a few things.

Here are some dates we would like you to keep in mind.

18-DEC – Cadet Mess Dinner.  Cadets are to arrive at the Medicine Hat Legion at 6:00 pm in full dress uniform.  The dinner should be done at 9:00 pm.

3-JAN – Bottle Drive at two locations. Cadets are to meet at Crescent Heights Co-op or Old Canadian Tire Location.  Timings are 10-4.  Cadets are to dress for the weather.  Parents if you can help out that would be greatly appreciated.

7-JAN – First Cadet Parade night of the year.  Cadets are to be in full dress uniform.

So on behalf of all of us staff at 2313, Happy Holidays and we look forward to seeing you all back in the New Year.
