Commander's Remarks: Thursday at our weekly meeting, we will be doing a
STEM activity and a Color Guard overview.  We will be wearing
ABUs/corporate uniforms.  Minnesota Leadership Academy in October is a GO
for October 14-17.  It will be a hybrid, but we hope everyone can attend!!
Check your emails and/or MNCAP.org (link below) for more information and to
register. Hopefully, we can set up transportation for the one day in person
for those that want to attend.  For our weekly meeting, we will, as always,
be social distancing and wearing our masks in accordance with MN Wing
directives, but will be outside for part of the evening.  I hope you can
attend.

For those that aren’t comfortable meeting in person yet, we will be live
streaming online in our regular online meeting room listed below.  The
health and safety of our members is the utmost importance to us.   We want
everyone to stay healthy and follow the MN Wing guidelines for our Phase 2
protocol which was emailed out to all members.  It is also listed on the
National website at https://www.gocivilairpatrol.com/covid-19-remobilization

Stay safe.  Stay healthy.
