Membership
in the West Point Parents Club (WPPC) of the Maryland-DC-Virginia (MD-DC-VA)
area is open to parents, extended family members, and friends of USMA
cadets. The club’s goal is to support our West Point cadets who
are undergoing a rigorous academic, leadership, and military training
program. In addition, we offer several club functions each year, a quarterly
newsletter publication, electronic information via our listserv, and several
services for members and cadets (i.e. bus transportation, football tailgating,
and more). In order to use these benefits, you must be a current member
of the WPPC of MD-DC-VA; membership details are outlined below.
WPPC of MD-DC-VA initiated a listserv with "west-point.org"
a couple years ago. All members with valid email addresses are automatically
entered unless they ask not to be. The listserv is used to disseminate
information about club functions, and individual members can use it to
broadcast relevant information to members at large. In addition, the listserv
can be accessed from the club's web page so that a member can send text-based
email messages to individual members via a blind email client.
The West Point Parents Club membership year runs from 1 June to 31 May.
Annual membership fees are: $25.00 for Regular Membership offered to parents
of cadets who reside in our geographic area, and includes nametags (first
time membership) and a Parent Handbook for Plebe Parents (until the year’s
supply is exhausted.)
Associate Membership is $15*
*Associate Memberships are intended for grandparents, extended family
members, parents who live outside our area but are interested in some
of our services, parents of WP graduates who no longer have cadets enrolled
at West Point, and friends of cadets interested in supporting the goals
of our organization. No name tags are included with Associate membership.
Nametags for regular, new members are ordered about once a month and mailed
directly from our vendor to the member. If you change your address, phone
or e-mail, please notify the Membership Chair at: jackndebra@msn.com or
call: (703) 534-9744.
