Updates
- National Legislative Day Advance Planning. We are considering taking a limited number of cadets to Washington DC again this year, dates TBA but likely at the end of February, 2024. Participants will visit Congressional offices and see other sites in the DC area. See the email from Lt Col Tom Anez, sent August 4.
- Sioux Falls Airshow - See more information and a photo gallery from CAP's support for this major event Aug 5.
- Pierre Composite Squadron joined Scotty Philip Days, including their parade float featuring Lee Vaughn's Piper J-3 replica aircraft.
- Important reminders about Finance:
- All invoices/oil changes/online orders, etc., need to have the Wing HQ address on them and preferably Rachel's email address for questions and or receipts to be mailed (rkuecker@capnhq.gov).
- CAP vehicle oil changes should not have the member's home address. You can use your phone number as a POC, but ALL CAP invoices, oil changes, and online orders should state "care of CAP" in the address or contact information.
- We get money from the state of SD and use of member addresses can be questioned. We have also had a vendor call a member about a payment, which should not happen. Members can place orders, but we do not want the vendor to call you if a payment is in question.
