Recommendations to West Point Society of Tennessee Valley:
There is a critical need for financial support in the Directorate of Cadet Activities. The superintendent has established an endowment that prioritizes the needs of West Point. We, as a Society, will discuss how we can assist West Point in funding an activity. Volunteers will form a committee to match our Society concerns with those of the Superintendent. We will pursue fund-raising efforts that will allow us to donate and assist in the support of this designated activity.
