Boodle Party Attendees
Please bring 10 items (snack packs of cookies, granola bars, candy, silly toys, gum, toiletries, cards, games…whatever!) with a total value of $10-$15 to place into the Plebe boodle. We will be filling 23 Plebe boxes.
Plebe parents will take the filled box and be responsible for mailing the box of goodies to their cadet.
Write a note in advance or at the party to include with gift cards and boxes.
We will have USPS flat rate boxes on hand for use with all Plebe boodle boxes.
Please bring a dessert, appetizer or dish to share with others attending the Boodle Party.
If you are unable to attend, please provide the address of your cadet/deployed West Point grad so that we may send their boodle or gift cards.
We welcome additional donations to offset the cost of this effort whether or not you are attending. Please send donations (payable to WPPC-IL) to our club treasurer, Janine Mogan, at 1617 Kirby Court, Naperville, IL 60563.

On July 13, 2011 a few members were invited to attend a special luncheon hosted by the Heritage Foundation featuring former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld.  Prior to the luncheon, a panel discussion was led by Heritage experts Peter Brookes and Dr. James Carafano. 

Thank You to Col. Todd and Carrie Garlick for hosting our wonderful summer picnic at their home at Great Lakes Naval Base on August 28th.  While our cadets were weathering the rains and winds from Irene, our club enjoyed a glorious afternoon overlooking Lake Michigan.  Thank you to all who participated, brought food and made the event so much fun.  But a special thanks to Col. Garlick and Carrie.

On July 14, 20 members got together to write to every single plebe from Illinois (even if their parents hadn't joined WPPCI).  Thanks to Plebe Parent Jack Sullivan who picked up the cost of the postage!
