As many have you have heard by now, congradulations to MWO Vogel who will be taking a leave of absence from the Airdrie Highlanders so that he can head off to Nanaimo BC and play football for the Canadian Junior Football League National Champion VI Raiders.
Hopefully he will still return to Airdrie briefly before he ages out in Feb 2011.
We all wish him luck in his football career.
16 June 2010 – There will be a Summer Camp Briefing, those Airdrie Army Cadets attending the RCACC summer camps will get some info on what to bring, dates, travel info. Currently any cadets that applied for camp should know if they were accepted or on the wait list. Any cadets on the wait list should be prepared to go on short notice should a spot become open.
At this time, we have Airdrie Army Cadets going to Cadet Camps in Vernon BC, Cannaught and Cold Lake, Alberta.
Please wear your Sport Dress so that Capt. Mark can make sure that you have everything that you need. This meeting will be at the Airdrie Agriculture Building (Cadet Stores) and not Golden Rod Hall.
 Just a reminder that June 16th will be the last meeting of the year and will be at the Airdrie Agriculture building. Cadets are requested to wear Sport Dress so that Capt Mark can make sure that they have everything that they need for summer camps.

As part of Pete Knight Days, the Airdrie Army Cadets will be participating in the Crossfield Parade on June 19th. The parade starts on Main Street and makes its way around town.
Cadets are asked to be at the Crossfield Community Hall by 900 for a pancake breakfast. The parade starts at 11, and they should be done with the event by 1200. There will be a lunch event for the cadets after the parade at Runciman’s house. Cadets should bring an extra change of clothes to wear after the parade.
Every June, the Alberta town of Crossfield hosts the Pete Knight Days. Named after Peter Charles “Pete” Knight who was a World Champion Rodeo Bronc Rider, the event is fun for the whole family. Festivities include a parade, rodeo, fireworks, pancake breakfasts and more. Events are held at the Pete Knight Arena and other locations in Crossfield, AB. This annual June event was named after Peter Charles “Pete” Knight, a World Champion Rodeo Bronc Rider. In the 1930s, Knight became known as “King of the Cowboys.”
For white water rafting this weekend, we will be meeting at Tim Horton’s and will be leaving by 8:30am on Saturday, June 5th. We expect to have the cadets back to Tim Horton’s between 1900 and 2000.

 Garage Sale Just a reminder that the Airdrie Army Cadets will be having a garage sale on Saturday June 12, 2010 from 830 to 1600. We are accepting donations and will be setting up on Friday June 11 at 1800. The garage sale will be at C.I. Taylor’s house at 922 Allan St, Airdrie. We will also be having a Bar-B-Q selling hot dogs and hamburgers. All cadets are encouraged to come down and help out. |
On behalf of all the Airdrie Army Cadets and their families who attended, I would like to say “Thanks” to the Calgary Highlanders for a great family Bar-B-Q last weekend. Numerous Airdrie Army Cadets and their families attended and helped with setup, supervision (especially the basketball-tug-O-war) and clean-up.
Besides helping out, the cadets seemed to find ways to enjoy themselves including the odd but very popular tug of war basketball game:
The Calgary Highlanders weapons display was quite popular. Don’t worry, they are not loaded (I hope…).
There was also a bouncy house and other toys.
Just a reminder for those parents who had not heard, this Wednesday will be the last meeting of the year for the 3016 Parents Committee and we will be having the Annual General Meeting and board position elections. The meeting will be held in the basement of Golden Rod Hall during the regular Airdrie Cadet Parade.
For those Airdrie Army Cadets planning to go to one of the Army Cadet Camps (Vernon, Connaught etc.), the Royal Canadian Army Cadets website has Joining Instructions posted with more information to follow. It also includes a page of Cadet Summer Training Information for Cadets and Parents.
Currently, the specific information for Vernon is not yet released, but the information for Connaught is posted.
It is suggested that you print these instructions out and contact Capt. Mark if you have any questions.
