3.      Lottery Update:  Our ticket sales are climbing and we have almost reached our MANDATORY sales of the support that you have shown so far.  It is a MANDATORY requirement that each cadet support the Squadron by selling at least 3 tickets, many of you have accomplished this, many of you have sold more, yet there are still cadets who have not met their MANDATORY obligation!  Please do so ASAP.  Reminder notices will be sent on 8 April 21 to those who have not participated.

If you are currently using a parent email to gain access to our website, please email admin@2vandenbos.org with your updated email address.

6.      Our next Checkpoint session is on (Easter) Monday 5 April.  We'll be hosting retired WO2 and 2 Squadron CIC member Hasan Farid in our next 'How It Started...How It's Going' Alumni Night Session. Please sign up for these events by Sunday night via the Squadron's website activities calendar to seize these excellent opportunities for self-development and casual discussion. Retired WO2 Farid is currently working in the States at a Clinical Research Organization in their Feasibility Group.
