Aimee Perry 506-645-1863 or sjp1981@hotmail.com.

During the poppy shift cadets will ask the public if they would like to buy a poppy or one of the poppy campaign pins/stickers/wrist band. Cadets will be in uniform or if they do not have a uniform dressed business casual. Each shift will require at least 1 parent to stay & supervise. The Poppy Tray will be passed onto the next cadet shift or will be picked up by a sponsoring committee member.
