The Cadets had a successfully trip to Dayton Ohio last week. Cadet Ryan Sherwin attended our meeting to fill us all in on the activities. Next Tuesday they will have a presentation here. In Dayton, they took 2^nd place in outdoor practical, they also took the Team Spirit Award for color guard and drill team. Cadet Eric Johnson won Honor Cadet.

Congratulations Cadets!!!

Our Cadets will lead the 4^th of July parade here in Anchorage starting at 1100.

Karen Hursh presented the safety spiel. When traveling, place your name on the outside and inside of all of your luggage. This way in the event a piece gets lost along the way, there is a better chance that you will get it back. Remember that RV accidents historically peak on July 2, 3, and 4.

If you want to fly to the Reno Air Races on the Air National Guard Hercules, the primary slots are full but you can get on a standby list by calling Gene Moyer. The races are September 8-15.
