NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETING

You are cordially invited to the RCAF Association General Meeting, London, Ontario

28, 29 October 2016

Dear Member, Like all other non-profit associations, fraternities and social community-focused organizations, we look forward to our general meeting. We are therefore writing to you, to seek your ac-tive participation in shaping your association, as we move forward.Participating in the affairs of your association is not difficult, nor does it require much of your time. Rather, all we ask is for you to be aware of what other members are thinking, and for you to weigh in with your ideas, where you feel the need. While no single member or group of members “owns” the association, each and every one of us shares in all of its successes and all of its failures. This is why it is so important to become involved, and show how much you care. We are a diverse organization - not all of us have served in the air force. Some of our members are focused on, and are bet-ter equipped to, devote themselves toward important community-supporting activities. Others also give of themselves to local cadet squadrons, devoting countless hours, days, weeks, months and years to young Canadians who one day may pursue an aerospace career - civilian or military - for the betterment of Canada. How we balance these interesting challenges, alongside our commemo-ration of our country’s air force traditions and accomplishments, is something you can help us with. Our General Meeting this year takes place in London, Ontario. Events will be held at the Delta London Armouries Ho-tel at 325 Dundas Street. Amongst the many projects currently the focus of your RCAF Associaiton Trust Fund, are support to the Jet Aircraft Museum and the Secrets of Radar Museum, both located in London. We committed ourselves to a two-year fund-raising campaign, to help raise funds for important air force tradi-tions, support to Wings in need, and financial assistance for our air cadets. We would like to make a donation from the Trust fund to both of the museums mentioned, as part of our RCAF com-memorative mission. If you are unable to join us in London, but you would like to make a donation to either or both museums, please visit

www.CanadaHelps.org and search for Royal Canadian Air Force Trust

On Saturday evening, 29 October 2016, we will hold our Awards Banquet, and present a number of awards to association

members, wings and organizations. During the banquet we will also be announcing winners of our significant trophies for the air force men and women who are deemed worthy of the association’s formal recognition. The weekend’s activities open in a formal way, with the Presidents’ Reception on Friday night. We sincerely hope you can join us; we are especially grateful to the many Wing Presi-dents who have dedicated themselves to their important role, and are planning to attend, to at least convey the votes and opinions of members in their Wing. Thank you for your kind consideration. Terry Chester, CDNational President
