Thank each one of you for attending the meeting last Thursday.
UNTIL we have an active group of SENIOR members. We will continue meeting at the HANCEVILLE WELLNESS CENTER on Commercial Street just across from Hanceville School. We meet weekly at 6:00 – 8:00 PM. I will be there weekly to review applications and meet with anyone considering membership, while 2nd Lt Maddux meets with our Cadets. Any of you are welcome to come visit with us there, before and after joining.

Once we have an active group of Senior members, I would like to work toward moving the meeting place to the Cullman Airport FBO. Seniors usually meet twice per month; but we can work on those details when we have a group established.
I realize a few of you were not able to attend; but I have included you so you will be informed.
Thank you for expressing interest in the Civil Air Patrol. It is not for everyone. The great part of it is that you can choose your level of involvement. It is a perfect place to share your love for aviation with others, and your concern for the community in several ways.
As you move forward with your application for membership, remember that your application must have all FOUR of these things: The application itself, ALL applications must have Commander's signature, (senior applications must have two fingerprint cards, and your check for $62); or (cadet applications must have a check for $31, and a parent's signature.) Cadet applications take a couple days to be approved. Senior applications take a couple weeks to be approved.
I tried to cover all the details at our meeting; but it was a lot to cover.
CADETS: IF an individual joins BEORE their 18th birthday, they must join as a Cadet member and CAN stay a Cadet to age 21; BUT they may revert to Senior member status at any time after the 18th birthday. So you Cadets that are more interested in flying than in the "Cadet program" could participate as a Cadet until you have your Private Pilot License, then revert to Senior member status rather than continuing as a Cadet. (I hope that makes sense.)
FLIGHT INSTRUCTORS: I did not answer many of your questions at the meeting. I do not expect you to wear administrative hats within the squadron, as you will likely be committed to check-pilot and training roles. We may want to have another meeting with just you folds and bring in the Standards-Evaluation Officer for the wing to help explain what is involved with getting ? restoring your check-pilot status. If you would like to do that, email me with interest and best time to meet.
