Cadets to Invade Norwich

This week we will be hosting a brigade of cadets from the School for Officer Training. Brigade 2 under the leadership of Major Donald and Captain Renee Lance will be coming to Norwich on Tuesday. This brings back a lot of memories! Major Don lived down the street from us for a year. I used to see him almost everyday leaving for work as I walked to the bus stop. Captain Renee Lance was the camp nurse my 3 years as a staff member at Ladore. The two final years, I was the camp driver and knew all of the nurses well as I was their "runner" for med runs, taking kids to doctor, hospital, etc. There were also a few Dunkin Donuts runs thrown in there as well!

We have plenty of exciting programs planned for the cadets that include the standard meetings as well as a family night, Bible Bowl Scrimmage and a Youth Rally at the Norwich Ice Rink!

We are looking forward to the Brigade coming, and I hope to keep the blog updated each evening to share the great things that God will do through their ministry!

I have good memories of my two brigade experiences. My first brigade did a VBS in Owen Sound, Ontario (on the shore of Lake Huron). We also did the Sunday services for two weeks. My second brigade did a VBS and series of evening meetings, as well as Sunday services, in Essex, Ontario (not far from Detroit). We had great times of fellowship with each other, with our host officers and with the people in the corps.

I'm looking forward to reading your reports throughout the week.

I went to Albany, NY first year, and Atlantic City, NJ second year. Atlantic City was a lot of fun. It was a great happening corps and after the meetings we used to go walk around the casinos and boardwalk.
