Over 100 cadets and officers traveled from Crestmont to San Francisco (Calif.), at the invitation of Golden State divisional leaders Lt. Colonels Joe and Shawn Posillico, to take part in a Fall Blitz Evangelistic Campaign. Team leaders were Majors Steve and Marcia Smith, training college leaders.
Cadets and officers packed the Terrace Room at Crestmont College for the Private Welcome Banquet honoring the first-year cadets, the Friends of Christ Session—46 members strong—who join the 42 cadets of the Ambassadors of Holiness Session. Supporting and encouraging the cadets were Territorial Leaders Commissioners James and Carolyn Knaggs and special guests Commissioners Todd and Carol Bassett, along with territorial and divisional leaders.
After years of keeping its treasures secure but unavailable for public viewing, The Salvation Army’s Museum of the West—located on the campus of the College for Officer Training (CFOT) at Crestmont—is now open to the public. Under the direction of Curator Misty Jesse, who also serves as CFOT’s director of library services, the museum welcomes visitors interested in the history of The Salvation Army’s Western Territory.
