Announcements

Parent Bed and Breakfast Locations - Teresa Whitson sent around a sign-up sheet for city area volunteers to host out-state parents for the Cookie Packing meeting. Volunteers were asked to sign up if they would host a parent family on the Friday night (December 8) before the meeting. This will make it easier for out-of-the area parents to attend with no lodging charges.

Cookie Packing – The annual cooking packing meeting will be held on December 9, 2006. Class reps should arrive early to help with the preparation for the packing. All parents were asked to provide 120 individually wrapped “treats”, which will be put into boxes and flown to the Minnesota cadets by Northwest Airlines. The boxes are shipped to the Colorado Springs Airport where upperclass cadets will collect and distribute the boxes to each cadet’s squadron.

All Academy Ball – This year the ball will be held at Olympic Hills Gold Club on December 29^th, 2006. This is a formal occasion and invitations/details will be sent to each individual cadet family.
