NYWG Conference & CadetFest '05

[Pylon]

I just heard about the upcoming New York Wing Conference and CadetFest for 2005.  Looks like it will be at the Owego-Treadway Inn in Owego, NY (not to be confused with Oswego, NY).  The dates are 15 to 17 April.

There is more information as well as info packets and registration forms available at the NYWG website.

Registration deadline is March 22nd and last chance to cancel with refund is March 29th.

Anybody here going or thinking about it?

Yep.  The CadetFest is pretty much like the CAWG Cadet Programs Conference in many ways.  You have the banquet dinner, some CAC ongoings, some annual awards for COTY and others get handed out, plenty of networking and gladhanding with Squadron, Group, and Wing people, and seminars of course.

CadetFest is just a more... "festive" name for it, I suppose.

Cool.  I'd love to go, but with my EMT training and stuff, it would be amazing if I could find the time

I'm probably going to head out, but rides are getting more difficult all the time.  My family's car just died on the off-ramp of 481 today, and it's going to the Great Junkyard of the Sky.  Other than that, I should be there.

Less than one week away! Who's going?

[SarDragon]

That has got to be the longest bump period EVER - four years and one month!

[VPI18]

It seemed like a waste of a perfectly good, relevant (despite the difference of 4 years), and unlocked thread to not bump.

[SarDragon]

Agreed. Just making note of the timing.

Less than one week away! Who's going?

Yep.  Going in 2009.

Not in New York, I wish. I would have spent even less time at High School then I actually did!

Believe me going to school is a lot better than working for the next 45-50 years of your life

Eh, I don't argue with someone who's BTDT, but I started working in construction when I was twelve, and and I've been riding ambulances since I was eighteen, and I vastly prefer working to college most days.

Come to Townsend. You'll see what studying, homework, and projects really are.

I'm laughing at the first few posts, I frew up in Owego NY and I believe I even attended that conference. Will be at this year's conference and banquet.

So, what did you think of the conference, gentlemen? I believe that I saw both of you, but I'm sorry that we did not get the chance to actually meet and talk, as yelling across the room is frowned upon. 

By the way, I would like to again extend my thanks to Captain Lurye for the ride home.
