Brrr!!!! When it is cold outside, we all reach for our warm jacket or parka to keep us warm. Minnesota’s Naval Sea Cadets don’t have those warm parkas, so the Minnesota Navy League Council is issuing an urgent all hands-on deck to our Minnesota Council members to help them out.
The Minnesota Navy League supports four United States Navy Sea Cadet Corps units across the state of Minnesota, Twin Ports Division – Duluth; Polaris Battalion – Cambridge; Twin Cities Squadron – Arden Hills, and Lake Agassiz Division – Grand Forks.
The Naval Sea Cadets is a national youth leadership development program that promotes interest and skill in naval disciplines while instilling strong moral character and life skills through leadership and technical programs modeled after the Navy's professional development system. USNSCC is comprised of two programs. The Naval Sea Cadet Corps (NSCC) program is for young people ages 13 through the completion of high school. Also included under the USNSCC umbrella is our junior program the Navy League Cadet Corps (NLCC), for young people ages 10 through 13.
The Sea Cadets recently changed their Naval Working Uniform to align with the Navy Type III green digital uniform. The Navy authorized and paid for two sets of Type III uniforms for each cadet, but did not include the cold weather parka which as you know is a must in Minnesota winters.
The Sea Cadets need 89 parkas for a cost of $190 each for a total of $16,910. The Minnesota Navy League Council is looking to fill this need by asking for monetary donations from all our members. Let’s all help our Sea Cadets stay warm this winter by giving a small to donation to help Minnesota Navy League raise the funds necessary to outfit our local Sea Cadets!!!!
Please send your tax-free donation, in any amount to our Treasurer Mark Stange at 655 Evergreen Circle, Shoreview, MN 55126, so we can help our young men and women stay warm this winter!!!!
