Blain Cote is at it again. Not only was he instrumental in providing Kids' Day with the Command Center 1 from the EMA he is also heading up a giant effort from the Civil Air Patrol to offer kids of all ages an "out of this world" experience in building their own rockets and watching the Civil Air Patrol launch rockets that they have created. How fortunate are we to be a part of this community?
"We have a booth that we will be setting up with information on the Civil Air Patrol and a few tables that we will use to have kids build foam, rubber band propelled rockets made from recycled foam meat trays. I believe we will need an electrical outlet for hot glue guns for the foam rockets. As far as launching rockets, behind the school will be great so we can have room for them to land and we can secure an area to keep kids safe. We can have kids come up to launch them, but they will have to follow safety procedures and we can provide the proper PPE. We will set them up and kids press the button to launch them.
Another one of our missions is DDR (Drug Demand Reduction) which educates kids on the uses of drugs and alcohol and how to say no and stay away from them. We also have a set of goggles (like the ones the PD have) that shows them how alcohol impairs them and they have to complete simple tasks that they soon find out it is difficult to do.
We can do whatever you want us to do, DDR, aerospace education, emergency services and the Cadet Program which are our missions chartered by Congress and the US Air Force.
We too, look forward to participate in our first Kids Day and make it a yearly activity for the Seacoast Composite Squadron – CAP.
Very Respectfully,
Blain
