This money will be put to good use for furthering the cadet education and equipment. Lynn Coupland gave us the idea for the card and EstelleDuncalfe provided her natural talent by designing and painting the card. The Town of Swan River was kind enough to let us erect the card next to the Town Xmas tree. There were somevery eager air cadets who volunteeredtheir time canvassing and without these youths our project would not have been a success: Lane Englot, Brent Bertram, Brent McDonald, Tanner Duncalfe and Ian Coupland.
