The weekend started off with a fun night at the Mall of America where the cadets from the all squadrons in our area came to enjoy the rides at the Nickelodeon Universe indoor amusement park.
The next morning Cadets arrived at St. Thomas University in St. Paul. As representatives for the Lauris Norstad Squadron, the nine cadets from our detachment who attended participated in a day filled with briefings and had an opportunity to exchange ideas with other squadrons and representatives from the national staff. The area voted on the new area staff and it was decided that the Squadron from the Illinois Institute of Technology's Detachment 195 will be the new area staff. The hosts for next year's ARCON was also voted on. Cadets from our Squadron ran unopposed and are proud to announce that it will be hosted in the Twin Cities again, this time at the University of Minnesota.
The event ended with a formal banquet with Major General Marvin Jay Barry, a member of the Board of Trustees for Arnold Air Society, as the guest of honor.
This year's ARCON had the highest attendance ever and all who attended from our detachment felt that it was a fun and worthwhile experience. We look forward to sending cadets to National Conclave (NATCON) in Washington DC this spring and hosting ARCON next year!
