It's ok. It's the proper one. It looks good enough to eat.

   we tried to market it thru vanguard, but they never returned the sample....
   i was going to use the pic below, but decided against it. before i realized what i was seeing, i thought the wife, on the right, had added a blade to our emblem.

The CAP emblem may generally be used on (also see Table 1):
1) Corporate aircraft (as prescribed by CAPR 66-1 and any other directive or policy letters as issued).
2) Member–owned vehicles used for CAP business upon written approval of the wing or region commander as
appropriate. Such approval will be granted only where its use would reflect favorably upon CAP.
3) Privately-owned equipment.
4) CAP-owned or privately-owned equipment where use of the CAP seal is not authorized.
5) Posters and other items used in CAP displays.
6) All official CAP web pages (through squadron level).
7) Official invitations, greetings, and programs at National, regional, and wing levels.
8) All official CAP and personal stationary, signs, and business cards.
9) Unit informational materials.
10) Wing certificates and scrolls.
11) Insignia, jewelry, and similar articles when specifically authorized by NHQ CAP/XPP.
e. Any unit unique item such as coins, mugs, brochures, etc., containing the name, seal or emblem must be approved
by the region or wing commander. Once approval is received, the initiating commander must contact the National Curator to
determine if a sample should be placed in the National archives.

Let's count the number of regulation violations that cake is!  Not to mention that I don't see the people serving it wearing gloves, or hair nets.  You probably used Red #40, which the State of California has labeled as a carcinogen, and which some of our cadets may have allergies to.  Is the frosting butter cream?  Is it organic?  What about our members who have gluten intolerance.

This cake was a bad idea, all around.  If only our members would think sometimes before they do things.

[note] In case the intense sarcasm wasn't readily identifiable, well done on the cake, it looks pretty good![/note]

No no no, look at the cake. It's CLEARLY red #38. That's only a carcinogen in Belize.

Nah, Red #2 is the nasty stuff, and it was banned way back in 1976. You're safe.  ;)

I'm just glad mine wasn't the only sick mind to immediately think of R900-2.  Technically it could fall under (e), although I'm not sure the National Curator should archive a slice....

   the (spice) cake was very well received. i think it has become a tradition in its first year.

thanks all,

I'm one of the least politically correct persons on the planet, but I can't object to the term "holiday" party when I know that non-Christians are in attendance.

A "holiday" tree? That's just wrong.

Post by: jimmydeanno on December 12, 2011, 07:41:47 PM
I'm not sure why anyone would be angry about the term "holiday," who's etymology is "Holy Day."  "Happy Holy Days" doesn't sound to me like anyone is leaving out Christmas.

Believe it or not, the winter solstice has been celebrated long before Jesus was born, and the month of December is significant in almost all of the worlds religions.  Christianity is really the late one to the party, and to assume that "December = Jesus" is just downright naive.  People calling things "Holiday Parties" aren't doing it to snub Christians, or take "the Christ out of Christmas," but remember that Christians don't own the holiday season.

Wiccans, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, etc all have holidays during that period.  Considering that CAP has a diverse membership, comprising all of those religions, it would make sense to have a holiday party.  It would be in keeping with our core value of Respect to do so.
