Prize Bingo Night
Are you ready for our next fundraising activity? I hope so, because I think it will be a lot of fun! I just got the approvals back for a PRIZE BINGO NIGHT! Save the date! We will need all the cadets to help out! (clearing tables, working concession, selling raffle tickets, calling out the winning bingo-ers etc…) THURSDAY, MAY 9 is when we will be holding the bingo. It will be at 6:30 at the Memorial Hall, here in Indian Head. I will be making posters up shortly that can be printed and shared in IH and surrounding communities. Until then, if you have any ideas for people/business that will donate some cool bingo prizes, let me know! I can get you a donation letter!

Easter Trip 2019
Update: We have been busy booking Tours and Attractions. The IMAX is booked so we have added a escape room! We still haven’t got confirmation from STARS about the tour so the Zoo will be our backup plan! Stay tuned for more info.
A parent meeting with information and form signing will be held on Monday, April 8 evening. At least one parent must attend this meeting to sign the permission forms for the Easter trip.
The Squadron will be offering a citizenship trip to Edmonton AB, during the Easter break April 22-26 2019. Each Cadet will be asked to provide a non refundable commitment fee of $200.00 to secure their spot on the tour. This payment will be made to the parent support group before March 18, 2019.
This fee will help to offset the cost of the tour and to guarantee your spot. Please contact Captain Walton or Mrs. Severt if you have questions or concerns about the fee.
