In the age of sail, the quarterdeck was the preserve of the ship's officers. Knot of the Month: CLOVE HITCH - A type of knot. It consists of two identical half hitches made successively around an object. Used as a traditional hitch, that is loading only one end, the clove hitch is liable to slip. It requires a load in each direction in order to be effective. The knot is useful in situations where the length of the running end needs to be adjustable. To tie a clove hitch, first place a loop around the pole, with the working end of the rope on top. Run the working end round the pole once more until you meet the place where the ropes cross, then pass the working end under the cross. Pull to tighten. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Calendar of Upcoming Events May 17 – 18 – Regular Drill Weekend – However – this is also Lilac Parade weekend and the kickoff of the Poppy Sales. This is a very important Fundraiser for us and again maximum participation is needed to make this successful. Review the signup sheet and let me know if there are errors – I desperately need one or two cadets that can work the shifts during the week of May 19 – 22 – so far, I’ve had ZERO volunteers. There will be a special “Reward” training at Laser Quest for the cadets that can work extra shifts for Poppy Donations. May 19 – 22 – Poppy Sales – see sign-up sheet May 24 – 25 – Poppy Sales – see sign-up sheet June 14 – Fishing Fun at Gilchrist Pond in Colfax. This will not be a mandatory meeting, however, it’s a ton of fun for our cadets to intermix with the community (we have 4 cadets (Beckmanns & Baileys) from the Colfax area) and we get to bait hooks, fish and assist the coordinators in various other areas. Interested cadets need to contact LT T. Fitch ASAP to reserve a spot on the bus. June 21 – 22 – Regular Drill Weekend – Switch to Salt & Pepper uniform. We have the NAPA Auto Car Show on Sunday, June 22 – it’s an excellent opportunity for recruiting and getting the area aware of our organization! We also have Swim Qualifications and tour of the Spokane Police Academy. June 28 – 29 – Hoopfest Fundraiser – we make mega-bucks off this two day event. A sign-up sheet will be available as soon as we confirm our zones. We have asked to double our zones this year as our cadet numbers have improved significantly and we feel that we can cover more areas without difficulty. Don’t let us down! This fund-raiser alone covers our unit expenses for the winter months! July 19 – 20 – Regular Drill Weekend – FIREFIGHTING WEEKEND July 26 – Controlled Burn Firefighting for Cadets participating in Hoopfest Weekend. August 9 – 10 – Fairchild Air Show – featuring the US Navy Blue Angels! This is the first show they’ve done in Spokane in years! We have several contacts in place to allow the cadets to actually meet the Blue Angel Pilots! Our primary responsibility is crowd control and we hope to set up a recruiting booth – more details will be coming on this fantastic event! August 16 – 23 – Navy League Cadet Orientation at Fort Lewis, WA. Cost is $75 per cadet. Use your hard earned vouchers to pay for this training! Transportation to the training will be via a chartered bus (if we have enough cadets going to Orientation) – transportation home is up to the parents, but attendance at graduation is one of the most rewarding events in a cadet’s career! Sea Bag list has been provided – so start getting items now – don’t wait until August! You must be 11 years old to attend Orientation – no exceptions/no waivers! September 6 – 7 – Annual Family Campout – Location to be determined September 19-20 – Valley Fest October – FLAGSHIP – Salem, Oregon Poppy Sales May 17 Wal-Mart - Valley 0900 – 2000 Training Ship SPOKANE May 19 Wal-Mart – North Division Y 1600 – 1800 WO Messing (NEED CADETS) 1800 – 2000 LTs Fitch (NEED CADETS) May 20 Wal-Mart – North Division Y 1600 – 1800 WO Messing (NEED CADETS) 1800 – 2000 LTs Fitch (NEED CADETS) May 21 Wal-Mart – North Division Y 1600 – 1800 WO Messing (NEED CADETS) 1800 – 2000 LTs Fitch (NEED CADETS) May 22 Wal-Mart – North Division Y 1600 – 1800 WO Messing (NEED CADETS) 1800 – 2000 LTs Fitch (NEED CADETS) May 24 Wal-Mart – Airway Heights 0845 – 1400 INST S.

| OFFICER & STAFF NOTES - Commanding Officer - We lost a cadet and an instructor this month. We have two new cadets coming onboard and we need to keep getting our message out to others. June is just around the corner, we are crazy busy with training opportunities and NOW is the time to bring your friends to see what we do. The Jr. Lilac Parade was an outstanding showing of true patriotism and devotion to our program – YOU guys did an OUTSTANDING job and I am amazed at how much you’ ve learned in such a short period of time! Keep up the outstanding work and BRING YOUR FRIENDS! Young Ms. Cord (not Cadet Cord) – I will be watching for your appearance in the very near future – congratulations on your upcoming birthday! - LT FITCH - CO Executive Officer- We had a very successful Jr. Lilac Parade – handed out 100 recruiting flyers and answered a lot of questions. You cadets have come in for additional marching practice, additional recruiting opportunities and now we are on the brink of the busiest summer training schedule you’ve had in many years. I expect to see 100% effort in attending the events of this summer (remember how boring it is to be stuck in the classrooms), well let’ s continue to come together and let the rest of Spokane know who we are and what we can do! - INST S GLADDEN - XO |
