Sad news from the Nwokorie Family

Sadly, I have been informed that the Nwokorie Cadets' grandmother passed away Monday, November 23. Please remember our cadets and their family in your prayers. As you may know, the Nwokorie family is from Nigeria. Their parents will have to return to Nigeria soon to handle final internment.
Understandably, this has been quit a blow to the cadets and their family but Rophina assures me that everything is okay but they (the cadets) will be unable to attend meetings until after the first of the year.
I and Commander Collins have advised C/Commander Nwokorie and her parents that, when the time comes, we (the squadron) are available to be of assistance. As a parent, I can not imagine having to leave the country for ANY amount of time and leave my children of any age behind.

JROTC Color Gaurd Presentation

The Donaldsonville High School Color Guard is scheduled to be present at our next regular meeting on 16 Nov 2009. In additon to a demonstration of proper folding of the Flag, they will explain the meaning of each of the folds. The Color Guard will also demonstrate a formal Flag burning cermony.

Since this is a formal cermony, we ask that the squadron members wear the most appropriate uniform they have available. Senior members who do not have the USAF or CAP Distinctive are fine to wear the Blue/Grey standard. Cadets will wear USAF Blue if complete, otherwise complete BDU is fine. Cadets, if you do not have a complete uniform, dress slacks are recommended.

Since we are having guests, and it is likely we will have potential recruits as well, Commander Collins suggested we provide refreshments. Please comment below (or email Lydia) if you are able to help.
