[Mankato] Weekly Meeting

[Ethan Beiswanger]

Commander's Remarks:

This week we will be having a Safety Briefing and Aerospace Education
Training. This will be our last meeting until after the first of the year.

It is my hope that you will all attend this meeting as we continue to work
out the challenges of being in Phase I lockdown. We will also be having a
Kahoot quiz after the two presentations.

Seniors will be having a breakout room for planning when the cadets are
doing Aerospace Education.

For on-line meetings remember to be in uniform, sign-up in the Chat for
attendance, have your screen on and be ready to participate in the meeting.
I look forward to seeing you this week at our Zoom meeting.


1st Lt Dwight Tostenson,

Squadron Commander, Mankato Squadron
