[Mankato] Weekly Meeting Jan. 14

[Jacqueline Busch]

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

As has now become our custom it is important that everyone be online and 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. (You may be asked to stand up, so everyone will be able to see your entire uniform.)  

We want everyone to stay healthy and follow the MN Wing guidelines for our Phase 0 protocol which you can find 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, 

1st Lt Dwight Tostenson
Squadron Commander, Mankato Squadron
