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.
