Other events as might occur:
There is always action in and around our area between now and the end of the year. We have Cross Country at Navy in September, boxing in Philadelphia over the Army-Navy Weekend, and opportunities to help the USMA admissions and area Liaison Officers with recruiting nights from now to January. If you know of an event where Cadets or your Cadet will be in our area, put it out over the listserver for all to see. We have reputation among the Cadets as being the ‘Food Club' – for our overwhelming tailgate support. Let’s keep that tradition alive when Cadets are competing or visiting in the WPPC MD-DC-VA Club area.
