Why: Brigadier General Regena Aye, CAP National Vice Commander,  and Col Virginia Nelson, Pacific Region Commander, will be visiting Alaska for the Wing Conference the following day and are excited to attend a cadet meeting.  What a great opportunity for a Group Meeting, with cadets from all 4 Southcentral squadrons to reunite for an evening of CAP training!  Be prepared to form up with your own squadron for opening formation. Then take advantage of this great opportunity to mix and mingle with other cadets for drill and TLPs. CAC reps will be in a TLP group together.  Cadet Commanders will be in another TLP group together. SMs will score your TLP success using competition score sheets so we can all practice for the upcoming cadet competition.  Finally, Col Nelson then General Aye will address all members present then field questions from the audience.

Please have a question prepared for BG Aye and a short story about how Emergency Services and/or Aviation are particularly relevant to you as an Alaskan in case you get a chance to share.
