Staff Meeting Highlites—4 September 2007

CC: No status change on National Commander at this time. National Headquarters
has requested and sent information to all units to hold an open house in October. A
Community Service project-Wreaths Across America has been taken on by LTC. John
Talbott. CPPT needs to be completed by 24 cadets over age 18 and by 30 seniors.
There should be no contact by seniors with cadets until this is corrected. Promoted
Cadet Programs Ofc. Kathryn Petersen to Captain from receiving her Spaatz Award.
We will be starting the Centralized Maintenance Program in October, now being re-
quired by National and will receive our second glass cockpit in February.

dardizing the forms that are to be used in each aircraft.

Squadron Inspection is 22 September. Recently attended IG Course at National and

attend, bring application signed by unit commander, billeting will be on your own. Sev-
eral members still need to complete CPPT and any member not having it will not be

ing other units with Ford vans to check on recall #05C28 with dealership. Thanks to
