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.

The WPPC MD-DC-VA web
site strives to improve communications among members of the WPPC
MD-DC-VA as well as other West Point Parent Clubs around the country.
New cadet parents will want to access the New
Cadet Information page for a copy of the New Cadet Handbook
and other items of interest. Membership

well as enhance the experience as a West Point parent. This web site
provides a place to post news and information for our members. The
monthly Club Newsletters are available
in .pdf format along with many photos shared by club families in our Photo Album. These color photos may be
printed or downloaded for your own use. Thanks to WP.org, the club has
space to post many photos so be sure to share your memories by
forwarding your photos to the Public Affairs Representative.
Members can also access information about club sponsored Cadet Buses providing transportation to and from
the MD-DC-VA area and West Point. To contact a Board Member, names and email addresses
are only a click away. The Club Gifts and Services
site has information about unique gifts and discount Phone Calling
