2019 Bottle Drive
The 197 Annual Bottle Drive was a great success!
Thank you so much to the people of the town of Acton for donating your empty bottles and cans again this year. The proceeds of our Bottle Drive go directly to supporting your local Air Cadet squadron and are used to help pay for items, such as cadet fees, bus fees to our events (such as gliding), class materials and so forth. It is through your generosity that we can continue to bring the Air Cadet program to the youth of Acton and Rockwood.
Our sincere “Thank You” and our gratitude to all the residents who donated! A big Thank You to the cadets and their parents for all their help, you make this event!
!! Once again we managed to fill the Beer Store to the rafters with empties !!
Lt. B Dobbs promoted to Captain.
Lieutenant B. Dobbs has just been promoted to the rank of Captain. Congratulations and BZ from the whole squadron!
