Re:  Hail & Farewell Luncheon - Sunday, May 6, 2007 at 2:00 p.m.

Dear Cadet Candidate and Parents:

All Houston area Cadet Candidates, their parents, and other family members are cordially invited to the Hail & Farewell Luncheon sponsored by the West Point Parents Club of Greater Houston.  The luncheon will be held at the offices of KBR (4100 Clinton Drive) on Sunday, May 6, 2007.  The meet and greet portion of the luncheon will begin at 1:00 p.m. and the formal program will begin at 2:00 p.m.  The appropriate attire is business casual.  Directions to the KBR facilities are provided at the end of this invitation.

The purpose of the luncheon is to welcome the Cadet Candidates and parents of the Class of 2011, and to honor the parents and Cadets of the Class of 2007.  The family of each Cadet Candidate will receive a Plebe Parent Handbook provided by the West Point Parents Club of Greater Houston and the West Point Society of Greater Houston.  The handbook is an 80+ page document designed to assist the Cadet Candidate’s parents in their preparation for the transition to the USMA way of life.

COL Mike Jackson will address the Cadet Candidates who will then be introduced and requested to make a brief personal statement.  Afterwards, the West Point Parents Club of Greater Houston mentors will be introduced to their assigned Cadet Candidate’s families.  At the conclusion of the program, the Cadet Candidates and their families will have the opportunity to ask questions of various Houston area USMA Admission Participants – MALOs and MAARs.

Attending the Hail & Farewell Luncheon is an outstanding way to start your USMA adventure.  We look forward to seeing you there.  If you have any questions, we can be reached at (713) 461-5420.

Sincerely,

Bette and Phil Lehmberg

Co-Presidents

West Point Parents Club of Greater Houston
