Tomorrow is Flag Day, and I know many Squadrons are holding flag disposal ceremonies or participating in parades or other events, make sure you invite your local news media to attend. You should also start a log or journal for the 2010 consolidated report forms. Each time you or your squadron does anything related to the report jot it down. Here is a simple checklist to follow:
· When did it happen
o Date
o Time
· Where did it take place
o Town
o Address
o Location
· Who was there
o Names of workers
o Names of dignitaries
o Approximate number of attendees
· What took place
o Why did you have this event
o What was the reaction of the audience
o What was the outcome
o How much time was put into the event
Now you can submit this information to the media, and they can help you build a story. You will have the necessary data for your consolidated report form, your historian can use the notes to make a history book and you will have a record for future reference.
Thanks for all that you do.
Michael Lawler, Detachment Adjutant
