Good Morning, WP-ORG!

We’re having a fund drive – our 58th! You can donate here: https://www.west-point.org/donate

We have big news! WP-ORG is migrating to the cloud. Our co-location facility is shutting down and we’re getting kicked out. The nice thing about being a late adopter of cloud living is everyone else has already figured out the kinks and documented the speed bumps. We anticipate complete migration by the end of the year. 

Among other things, the cloud frees us from hardware purchases and maintenance. It allows us to scale capacity up or down as needed. And WP-ORG becomes untethered geographically. 

Despite the underlying tech changes, WP-ORG is still operated by a small group of people you know by name. We’re directly accessible by phone and email. We remain dedicated to connecting the West Point community by offering a space and the tools to gather and communicate. 

In an age where every service is jockeying for your attention, clamoring for your data, electronically listening, and watching…. WP-ORG is different. We respect your privacy. We don’t collect your data. And we don’t sell data. 

We’re honored to serve those who understand the value of service.

Please consider a donation to help fund operations for the next five months.

WP-ORG Members,

We are kicking off our 58th semi-annual fund drive (FD58) with a goal of $41,679 to fund the next six months of West-Point.ORG (WP-ORG) operations. You are receiving this because you are subscribed to at least one list that we host for graduates, parents, cadets, and friends of West Point. All WP-ORG services are free to users. They are sustained by these voluntary twice-yearly fund drives. We have done this the same way for almost three decades because it keeps us aligned with the people we serve. If we provide value, the fund drive succeeds; if we do not, it won’t. Your donations have been the “votes of confidence” that have enabled us to host email listservs, run WordPress sites for classes, clubs, and societies, and keep this community connected.

You can donate online at https://www.west-point.org/donate/ and use whatever method is best for you – credit/debit card, PayPal, check, or stock donation. Budget detail for this six-month period is posted at https://www.west-point.org/budget/ for anyone who wants to see exactly what we expect to spend.

Please consider donating today if WP-ORG has been useful to you:

“This decision allows the Academy to continue its focus on its core mission of preparing cadets to lead, fight, and win as officers in the world’s most lethal force, the United States Army,” read an email dispatched Friday by Retired Army Col. Mark Bieger to alumni.
