Army / Air Force Watch Party

The West Points Parents Club of Illinois was hosted by the Air Force Parents Club of Illinois at the annual watch party. It was Army’s first win over a Top 25 team since 1972. GO ARMY!

Family Weekend

We love visiting our cadets on Family Weekend (or even other weekends for those that have scheduling conflicts). Whether it is watching the football game, seeing our cadets compete in other sports, or even running into the Sup, we always have a great time rain or shine.

Lake Geneva Hike

The club had a great outing to Lake Geneva on October 1st. One group started out walking 9 miles along the northern part of the lake before meeting up with the second group to do an additional 6 mile walk along the southern shore. It was beautiful weather and we enjoyed a nice lunch afterwards.
