Once again, the 3016 Airdrie Army Cadets provided more volunteer hours at the Airdrie Festival of Lights than any other group.  We were apparently recognized at their volunteer appreciation function and were also given a cash bonus in recognition of this accomplishment.  Way to go cadets and parents.  Not only does this help the community, but the money raised is used to help fund various parts of the Airdrie Army Cadets’ programs. For those families who had been planning on attending the AFOL volunteer recognition night, we appologize.  For some reason that is not quite clear, the Airdrie Army Cadets were not told when the event would be held.
