The Air Cadets received a big helping hand to its continuing efforts to raise money to fix the Cadet Hall roof today as the Castlegar Rotary Club presented them with a check for $1,000.
The Air Cadets, who normally call the Kiwanis Hall home, have been meeting virtually as a result of COVID restrictions. The squadron’s normal headquarters location suffered a major roof leak during the fall of 2020, and the hall has incurred significant water damage to both the main floor and basement.
“The cadets are anxious to get back to in person training.” said Matthew Mussio, the Sponsoring Committee’s Secretary for the Air Cadets. “We are still a ways off, both with COVID and roof repairs, but when Mark Jennings of the Rotary Club reached out to me and asked that we give a presentation about our ‘fix-the-roof project, we jumped at the chance.”
