Airdrie 3016 Army Cadets

Here’s a link to our Dinner at Dick’s poster (Dick’s Fundraiser1) that can be hung up anywhere that allows it.  Tickets are available in extremely limited quantities and are available on a first come, first served basis!  With that being said, we are hoping to sell out of all 200 available tickets as soon as possible.  This event IS open to the public so feel free to invite family members, friends, co-workers, neighbours, etc.    Included in the ticket price is dinner, dancing and admittance to our silent auction!  There are currently over 120 auction lots with more still arriving every day!

Tickets cost $20 each with half of that money being donated directly to the corps to help pay for the kids’ training, uniforms, special activities such as swim and sports days, marksmanship training, band costs, drill training, etc.  With the huge increase in numbers of kids registered comes a huge need to increase our fundraising!  These fundraisers are what makes cadets an activity that can be affordable to EVERYONE.  Most of the cadets activities, training and clothing is provided to families at absolutely no cost to them whatsoever.

Thanks for your help everybody!!

With our Feb 11th silent auction coming up, we are looking for donations.  Here is a letter (February Donation Letter) that can be taken to local businesses, employers and anyone else you know who might be willing to donate items.  Please give any items to Mark Bentley along with information about who donated the item so that we can recoznise them.

We’ve been keeping a running list of businesses that have already been approached on the post “Silent Auction Items Needed” under the comments.  You’ll have to click the “Older Comments” link at the bottom of the comments to view them all.  It would be great if some of the cadets local to Airdrie could deliver our donation letter to some local Airdrie businesses.  Many of them really do want to help and only need to be asked!  All that’s needed is to drop the letter off to business owners — any additional questions or pick-up arrangements will come to Mark Bentley because it’s his email and phone number that are listed on the letter.

Cash donations are also quite welcome!  Cheques can be made out the Alberta Army Cadet League in order to get a tax receipt.  Here is a letter to use when requesting cash donations.

Thanks so much for your help everyone!!
