June 12 Meeting
We
are trying to book the June meeting at the Radisson Inn in Clayton, instead of
the Viking Holiday Inn. Last year, The
Viking food was not good and they were not accommodating because they would not
give us a break on the no-shows (10), even though we had been using them for years.
The Radisson people were very helpful on the All-Academy Ball. We will keep you posted.
All Academy Ball &
2003 Army Navy Game
All
Academy Ball was held December 26, 2004 at the Radisson Inn in Clayton, hosted
by the WPPC. It was very successful, even though Air Force once again had the most
in attendance. Army had a good showing. Next year’s event will be hosted by
Navy. They are use the Radisson as well, because they did such a good job for
us. Army Navy game was attended by several parents. The weather was great, and
events leading up to the game were memorable. Unfortunately Army lost, but they
did score two touchdowns. The weather was much better than in years past.
