[Mankato] Meeting 12/02/21

[Alex Mayo]

Commander's Remarks:

Minnesota Wing has put us on notice that we are now under Phase I COVID
restrictions. This means we will be holding our next and future meetings
virtually at the Zoom address below. If you have any questions about how to
use Zoom reach out to those in your chain of command and make sure you can
get logged in on time.

Cadets make sure you are in uniform as there will be inspections during
this and some future meetings. It is important that we all try to attend as
many of these virtual meetings as possible to continue our momentum of
growing our squadron.

Senior will be having a breakout meeting to talk about the Change of
Command ceremony which will now be done remotely on December 9th.  Planning
will be important for this ceremony to come off well. I look forward to
everyone being in attendance.

Phase I COVID:  Our wing is now under Phase I COVID restrictions. Due to
this status change, we will be holding our meeting virtually. Go to
