Don't miss the Annual Wing Conference and Awards Banquet
The 2009 Annual Conference celebrating 61 years of CAP in Alaska will be held at the Millennium Hotel on Spenard Rd.  This years conference will begin Thursday evening October 15th with a pre-conference fund raising event, and will conclude on Sunday October 18th.

All Squadron Commanders are expected to be in attendance, or get a representative approved by the Wing Commander to attend in your place.

Rooms are available at Billeting on Elmendorf AFB at $39 per night; please complete the bottom portion of the registration form if you would like to stay on base.

Please send payment for the banquet with your registration form no later than 6 October. Your prepayment will help us keep down the long lines at the door as we will have a prepaid entrance. If you plan on paying at the door you will still need to RSVP as we have to provide a head count for the chef and pay for each head. Please bring exact change or write a check. Feel free to contact the Alaska Wing Headquarters at 1-800-478-5001 with any questions!
