[Mankato] Weekly Meeting Dec. 17

[Jacqueline Busch]

Commander's Remarks: 
We continue to be under the PHASE 0 Covid-19 guidelines, as a result we will continue meeting online this week. Please note the new Meeting Link below is a Zoom link. 

This week Roman Hund, Col (Ret), USAF will present the 2019 Air Force Association award to C/CMSgt Tabitha Plasschaert.

This week we are having an on-line Christmas party in Training Block II. Please start the meeting in Uniform. After the Emphasis Item we will have a short break to allow everyone time to change into more festive attire. 

Applications for priority placement for this year's NCSA close on January 15, 2021. National Cadet Special Activities are a great way to meet cadets from across the country and get some great training. I highly recommend that cadets apply for at least one of these activities over the summer. 

As we did this past week it is important that everyone be present at the meeting, so please follow the following rules: 

Have your cameras on so you are visible to others at all times.
Have your microphone muted unless you are talking or called on to speak.  
Wear your entire uniform, not just the part you think others will see. 

This week our uniform is either ABU’s / BDU’s for Cadets, and ABU’s / BDU’s or Corporate for Seniors.

We want everyone to stay healthy and follow the MN Wing guidelines for our Phase 0 protocol which was emailed out to all members.  It is also listed on the National website at:  https://www.gocivilairpatrol.com/covid-19-remobilization <https://www.gocivilairpatrol.com/covid-19-remobilization>
 
I look forward to seeing you all online this week and hope we can begin to meet in person again very soon. 

Be well and stay safe,

Squadron Commander, Mankato Squadron
