Our big THANKS to the many parents who have volunteered at the tailgate, the annual cadet Portrait Day, field trips, team competitions and other unit affairs! TEAMS ORIENTEERING FIELD TRIP & SCORE-O TJ Patriot NJROTC will be hosting our 2 nd orienteering meet on Saturday, November 19 th at the Little Bennett Regional Park, Clarksburg, MD. Cadets will have a field trip on Friday the 18 th to set up and run the course. Since we are hosting the meet, our own team will not be competing. As more than 100 people from other teams are expected to attend the event, we would like to have as much support as we can get from cadets and parents. If you are interested in helping, please contact our orienteering team coordinator Luci Riegel at ljriegel@gmail.com.
