  Message from The Royal Canadian Naval Association National President:

  

  BRAVO ZULU !  Job well done!  Exceeded expectations by far. 

  Thank you Gloria, Lisa and all the wonderful folk at the Oshawa NVA.  Your kindness, patience and attention to detail were a marvel to behold.  There is no doubt what-so-ever that S/M  Ted Kibby is smiling and immensely proud.   Stephanie’s cooking will long be remembered. 

  Please say hello to Lieutenant Mark Scuse.  I hope to meet with you both again soon.  And please thank the Sea Cadet Corps for their participation in our event. I will contact them soon as well.  Thank you again
