Final Results: Recruiting Challenge |
updated: 3.1.10 |
|
RED OAK, IA
I am pleased to announce that as of March 1, 2010, I had 9
applications turned into me for submittal to National
Headquarters. I know what you’re thinking, 9. 9 is not 10,
and 10 is what we as a group needed to attain for Lt
Erickson and myself to throw the detachment a pizza party.
While those 9 didn’t quite get us to our pizza party goal of
10, we should be extremely proud of our hard work. That 9
nearly doubled our total membership from two months ago and
it has also turned out a fantastic group of new recruits,
all of which I am very proud to have as fellow CAP members.
Overall Recruiting Stats as of 3.1.10:
Brace—5
Erickson—2
Murphy—8
Taylor—1
You might notice that there is only one cadet on the
previous list. While our recruiting efforts were great,
unfortunately I had no applications turned in as being
recruited by a cadet during the last two months. As a
result, we cannot award the Challenge Coin this time around.
BUT . . . Maj Murphy was triumphant in earning his Senior
Recruiting Ribbon with the help of this last push. He will
be receiving his ribbon and recognition of this
accomplishment at the next Saturday meeting which will be
held on March 20th.
We will be doing another recruiting challenge during the
months of May and June so get ready! However, if you know of
someone who’s interested in CAP and wants to join, don’t
wait until then. Applications are ALWAYS accepted so keep
working on your recruiting ribbons (cadets need 2, seniors
need 7)!

Update: Recruiting Challenge |
updated: 2.1.10 |
|
RED OAK, IA
We're one month into the recruiting challenge with one month
left to go so I thought I'd take a few minutes to update
everyone on the current standings. As of 1 Feb 2010 I
have had 5 new member applications turned in
to me with promises for an additional 5 more!
That's 10 in one month! Just think, if
we got 10 new member applications in one month, how many
more can we turn in by the end of the challenge?
Here's the breakdown. . .
Maj Murphy (new
recruits - Ali R., Sierra R., Payton K. & Baker C.)
Lt Erickson (new recruits - Terry K.)
Keep the
momentum going guys and gals and don't forget the stakes!
A challenge coin is up for grabs to the cadet who turns in
the most new member applications to me (2Lt Brace) by 1
March 2010. Also up for grabs are recruiting ribbons.
Seniors need 7 new members and cadets need 2 to qualify.
Clasps are awarded for increments above the baseline
standard so let's all add some bling to those ribbons!
And last but certainly not least, the pizza party!
Only 5 more applications are needed before Lt Erickson and I
will throw the detachment a pizza party celebrating our hard
work.
