I have been volunteered as the VP of the Royal Canadian Sea Cadet Education Foundation. We grant scholarships to sea cadets to help them with their post secondary education.
We have our own web site. What is the best way for the Foundation to get the word out to prospective donors among ex-cadets, particularly ex-sea cadets?

A tipi was recently erected on the grounds of RMC. It was removed so that it would not be weathered. It will be painted in the future; the colours will be the CF Aboriginal Logo with an RMC Hat Badge.
The Tipi will only be set up for special occasions or for cultural activities as outlined by the program. It will be set up for the ALOY grad ceremonies on 19 June in the area where the feast will take place.
