Livermore, California Apr 10, 2021 (Issuewire.com) - Tri-Valley Composite Squadron 156, the local unit of Civil Air Patrol (CAP), announced today that they will be hosting an open house at 6:30 PM on May 19.

The entire community is invited to attend, learn more about Civil Air Patrol, and celebrate the squadron's successes during the COVID-19 pandemic. Members of the squadron will live stream a special awards ceremony to honor our cadet members, aged 12-18 years old. Afterward, members will share information about CAP programs and services that benefit the community. CAP was founded on December 1, 1941, and the open house is designed to create a greater awareness of CAP's presence and contributions to the community through its missions of Aerospace Education, Emergency Services, and the Cadet Program.
