WELCOME NEW AND RETURNING CADET PARENTS TO OUR 2023-2024 PROGRAM YEAR!
We have fresh faces on the Branch Executive this year. I would like to welcome Jen Geddes as our new secretary, Yvette Gogowich (director at large) and Brooke Williams-Good (director at large)! If you have not yet – you will get a chance to meet all of us at the parent meeting happening later this month.
PLEASE NOTE: We would still welcome additional help to serve on various fundraising committee’s or to help with accounting, screening, website management, etc. If you are interested, please contact Jen Geddes via the Contact Page.
As a Navy League and/or Sea Cadet parent, it is your responsibility is to keep updated. We send out multiple forms of communication to our parents, but at the end of the day – you must read them!
- The Commanding Officers send emails weekly (usually Monday). If you are not receiving them, please let us or them know to add you to the email communications list. Branch will add any information as required to those emails and occasionally we will send out our own via the secretary email.
- If you have not already, go to facebook.com and like your cadet’s respective Corps page:

- And our Branch Page: https://www.facebook.com/NLOCStonyPlainBranch
If there are ever any issues that the parents need to talk to someone about, please know that this is one of the main reasons that our branch exists. Any questions or concerns can be communicated as attached in the Welcome Letter download:
Branch policy is to acknowledge phone calls and/or emails with a 24–48-hour period during a weekday. Please remember that we all volunteer our time and have full time jobs away from cadets, so delays happen but we do our utmost to minimize those.
Our Branch will be hosting a Parent Information Night. Attendance is required from at least one member of each family. We will go over the details of how our organization functions, take questions and hopefully get to know each other a bit more! Keep an eye on your email for more information regarding date, time, and location.
