News From CPC

Hello CPC families!
 
It is unbelievable to us that November is already here! We are so thankful for all of you and all of the amazing CPC volunteers! We have enjoyed making new friendships and working side by side with you many of you on behalf of our Colorado cadets.
 
Our Goodie Bag Assembly on October 30th was a great time of service and fellowship. Thank you so much to everyone that served to assemble and deliver over 1,600 goodie bags to each squadron. Stacy Prater, Sherri Newell, Adrienne Baumert, Lauralee Hitzler, Helly Duncan, Terri Koenig, Nico Mason, Jane Morgan and the rest of the Goodie Bag team are AMAZING! Also, Vista Ridge JROTC was a tremendous help. Check out the photos below! Please do not miss out on the fun and join us in February for our next assembly day!
 
The Commander-in-Chief's Trophy is back at the Air Force Academy! Go Falcons! Great win against Army! We have one more upcoming home game against Colorado State University. We look forward to seeing you at that tailgate!
 
Thanks to all who joined us for our semi-annual General Membership Meeting on October 16th. Our next planned meeting is scheduled for April 30, 2023. This meeting is for all of our members. It is a great time to come together and support each other!
 
We hope you are able to enjoy your upcoming family time and we wish you a very happy Thanksgiving!
