SLS/CLS @ Scott AFB in November
Fellow CAP members,
Group One will once again be hosting Squadron Leadership School (SLS) and Corporate Learning Course (CLC) at the Scott Composite Squadron located on Scott AFB on 14-15 November 2009. Your CAPF 17 should be submitted to the appropriate Director with a check for $15 made out to "Group 1 Headquarters", NLT 31 October 2009. A head count will be needed for the meal/social as soon as possible but NLT than that date.
For SLS please contact Capt John Patrizi telecmengr@aol.com.
For CLC please contact Lt Col Randy Mitchell shieldwolf64@yahoo.com.
Materials for both courses are available online at http://members.gocivilairpatrol.com/cap_university/level_ii_technical_training.cfm for SLS and http://members.gocivilairpatrol.com/cap_university/level_iii_management.cfm for CLC. I recommend students review these prior to attending.
Instructors:
Please be sure to contact the director for the course in which you would like to instruct. You should have already completed SLS if you wish to instruct in it, and already completed CLC to instruct in it.
Staff:
Please be sure to contact the director for the course in which you would like to serve as a staff member.
ALL:
You can make your own reservations at the Scott Inn (Scott AFB Billeting) 618-256-2045 or 618-256-1844. For your convenience, rooms have been reserved. Hotels in the surrounding area may be available should the Scott Inn be booked. The social will be held at the Scott Club. Prices will be determined by the number participating and will be published at a later date. Please courtesy copy me on all e-mails regarding course and dinner attendance.
Scott AFB is an active duty military installation. All attendees will ensure that their uniforms are in full compliance with published regulations. Uniform infractions will be corrected. If in a uniform that has rank displayed, you will salute higher ranking officers and return the salute of juniors if saluted. Speed limits and use of hands free cell phone devices are strictly enforced.
Thank you.

Community Event Support
Lt Col Connie Kelly will be contacting area group commanders regarding two upcoming events that offers the Illinois Wing the opportunities to: 1) provide valuable volunteer support to worthwhile causes, and 2) increase public awareness of CAP and its missions to serve America.
Event #1
Student Career Day

The Wing already helped support an IDOT carrer day at Chicago's McCormick Place. CAP will have a display booth. Cadet and senior volunteers from the Group 9 area are needed to man the booth.
Event #2

Here is a reprint of an email from the event organizer:

1) Senior members may not wear USAF-style uniforms (i.e. BDUs or Blues). The golf shirt/grey slacks CAP uniform is recommended
2) Each person needs to bring their CAP ID and two copies of their CAPF 60
3) Sales start no later than 0800 and run through about 1730
4) You will be on or by the beach the entire day - bring a full water bottle and sunscreen!
5) Lunch will be provided both days
6) Members with CAP VHF radios: please bring them
7) We will assemble at North Avenue Beach and sign in. You will be given a specific assignment at that time
8) Parking is limited and not convenient - car pooling and public transportation is recommended
More information will be coming soon, but if you have any questions that can't wait, please contact me. In the mean time please the dates on your calendar and plan to attend!
Unit Commanders: Please let me know no later than 31 July how many people your unit expects to participate on each day. If possible, please try to balance the members between the two days - in previous years, we were somewhat short-handed on
Sunday.
Thanks!
