Labor Day Weekend

Suffolk Cadet Squadron 10s Hurricane Katrina Fundraising efforts are off to an incredible start. Manning two locations the Squadron has already collected over $7,400.00 in donations that will go directly to the Salvation Armys Hurricane Katrina Relief fund. The two collection points were Meat Farms in Ronkonkoma and Uncle Giuseppes Marketplace in Smithtown. Those who participated were Squadron Commander Maj. Michael Kelly, Lt. Karen Rohl Deputy Commander, Lt. Mike Gotay, Senior Members Lt. Larry Buschel, SM Capt. Ron Budzinski, Capt. Peter Cubano, Cadets Mike Gotay, Mary Gotay, Matt Evko, Bruce Estrada, K. Panigrahi, B. Panigrahi, C. Byrnes, L. Fasano, M .Morrison, C. Reynolds, E. Reynolds, and K. Reynolds. A 3-week fundraising effort is underway and will be a LIG effort. Squadron Commander Maj. Michael Kelly is the project officer. Lets all get behind this to reach our LIG Goal of $50,000. If Squadron 10 can raise $7,400.00 in one weekend with just two locations, just imagine what the whole Group is capable of when we work as a team!

National Rifle Association Training
On June 11 & 18th, Squadron 10 conducted National Rifle Association training. The course was held at the Eastport Police Firing Facility and was given by two Certified Firearms instructors with the assistance of Senior Members. Maj. Jack Ozer and 1LT. Barry Fell instructed the Cadets in the two phase course. Phase one consisted of basic Firearm Safety and Basic Rifle Marksmanship. Phase two was live firing on the range with scoring for the NRA Light Rifle Qualification. Sixteen cadets and a one senior qualified with scores ranging from basic practical to the expert marksman category. After the live firing session 1 LT Larry Buschell gave the cadets a demonstration on the care and cleaning of the rifles that they had just used. This exercise demonstrated the safety measures to be observed when using firearms and stressed the necessity of safe firearm management.
