$50.00 Registration fee holds your slot.
You are invited to attend the Pacific Region Aerospace Education School. The purpose of this school is threefold: educate CAP AE leaders about their job requirements & the resources available to help them, share ideas which improve the AE program and provide AE enrichment experiences for the participants.
This is the year for you to attend.

Some of the school topics include: the AE Mission, Responsibilities of the Unit AEO, Orientation Flights, Grant writing, AE for Seniors, AE for Cadets, External AE program, Awards, Robotics, Model building and a presentation from NASA Dryden Flight Research Center.

The AEO School runs Saturday thru Tuesday. Wednesday is an optional day for students. We have tentatively been slotted for an AF C17 refueling flight. This is subject to change based on AF training requirements. Students will also have the opportunity to visit the NASA JPL teacher center and pick up free AE lesson plans, posters and videos.
The AEO School costs $50.00 which includes all materials, Saturday barbeque dinner and the Tuesday luncheon. Lodging is available on March ARB for $39.00 per night.

Harris earns Commander's Commendation Award
Capt. Robert Harris was presented with a Commander's Commendation Award on Saturday, March 5, 2011 during the Inland Empire Group 3 Commander's Call held at the Voyager Composite Squadron 120 in Victorville, Calif.
Harris, of March Field Composite Squadron 45, was recognized for his work in the Wreaths Across America program from 2006 to 2009.
The commendation text reads as follows:
The Civil Air Patrol's Wreaths Across America program began in 2006 as an
offshoot of the Arlington National Cemetery wreath project, which was started in
1992 with the annual placement of wreaths donated by Worcester Wreath Co.
The program has mushroomed in a short time. With its patriotic theme and its
increasing visibility, Wreaths Across America is an ideal program for promotion of
CAP and the patriotic values CAP holds dear.
March Field Composite Squadron 45 has been involved in this project with CAP
from the beginning with the Riverside National Cemetery (RNC). ln 2006, the
late Ch, Lt Col Jack Nahrstadt took it upon himself to coordinate the project.
Upon the passing of Ch Nahrstadt, Ch, Lt Col Mike McKinney and his wife, 1st Lt
Adelle McKinney of Squadron 64 stepped in and took the lead for the 2007
Wreaths Across America program at the RNC. They asked and received the
assistance of 1st Lt Robert Harris. Since then 1st Lt Harris has taken an
increased role in this project. This year, 2009, he served as the coordinator.
Since 2006 the interest and participation in the Wreaths Across America program
at the RNC has increased. This year, with the work of 1st Lt Robert Harris, the
program not only featured the laying of wreaths by various branches of the
military service but representation from US Senator Barbara Boxer and US
Congressman Ken Calvert's offices. State Assemblyman Chuck Devore was the
keynote speaker.
1st Lt Harris and Congressman Calvert's office arranged for military honors to be
presented to the father of PFC Marcus Allan Tynes (USA) who was killed by an
IED in Afghanistan on November 22,2A09.
Cadet and Senior Members from Squadrons 45, 64,21, 59 and Riverside
Polytechnic High School JROTC placed 200 plus wreaths at the graves of our
nation's fallen heroes.
It is without any hesitation that I recommend a Commander's Commendation for
1't Lt Robert Harris. – CH (LT. COL.) PAUL WARD, CAWG HC
Congratulations Capt. Harris!

Members Awarded Disaster Relief Ribbon with "V" Device
As a result of the several days of continuous rains in the Inland Empire during the week prior to Christmas 2010, Corona Municipal Airport, which is located within the Prado Flood Control Basin, became severely flooded causing extensive damage to property at the location and sparking a rapid evacuation of the airport and some several hundred aircraft. A request was received for Civil Air Patrol assistance from the City of Corona and the Corona Airport Management which was funneled through the Riverside County Regional Emergency Operations Centers and the California Emergency Management Agency. California Wing (CAWG) Civil Air Patrol was tasked with providing immediate assistance with evacuations as well as post-flood recovery clean up.
A total of 43 members from CAWG Groups 1, 3, 4, and 7 responded from distances as far north as Bakersfield and Santa Barbara, to as far south as San Diego. This assistance spanned a period of 17 days resulting in hundreds of man hours devoted to the recovery efforts. On Wednesday, 26 January 2011, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) announced Presidential Declaration 2011-1952 declaring multiple counties within California, disaster areas. As a result on 29 January 2011, CAWG Commander Col. Ken Parris issued Personnel Authorization # 11-04, awarding all 43 members the Disaster Relief Ribbon with the Presidential V device.
