News From CPC

Congratulations to all of the newly recognized Class of 2025 cadets! I hear the class of 2025 did themselves proud at Recognition. 

We were able to offer Colorado Night this year to all Colorado cadets and a guest on March 15 at Air City 360. The Colorado cadets had the full facility to themselves for jumping, the zip line coaster, and lots of other activities. They enjoyed homemade burritos, thanks to some wonderful CPC volunteers.

We look forward to seeing you at the Spring General Membership meeting on Saturday, 23 April from 10 am - noon. Please RSVP below. This is a great opportunity to meet other CPC families. We will be approving the budget and electing the new CPC Board and Committee chairs for the 2022-2023 year, which begins at the hat toss on Graduation day. 

Graduation will be here before we know it, and we are proud of all of the 2022 cadets who will be graduating soon. The graduating CPC Seniors will be receiving a special gift commemorating this occasion.

Speaking of spring, our Spring General Membership meeting is coming up on April 23. We will be electing the new CPC Board for the 2022-2023 year. Thank you to those who have already volunteered for various positions and events. There are still plenty of opportunities to support CPC in the upcoming year. The new CPC board year begins on Graduation day. Here are a few areas to consider:.

Elected Board Positions to be filled:
  • Vice President(s) - The Vice President(s) oversee CPC Public Relations, including the Webmaster, Tailgate Chair, and Photographer/ Videographer. You can reach out to our current Vice Presidents for more information.

  • Event Coordinator(s) - The Event Coordinator oversees volunteers and ensures that each of our CPC events has a Committee Chair. This position provides guidance for booking facilities, speakers, and planning menus. Overall, the Event Coordinator helps to make sure that each event runs smoothly.  

  • Fundraising Chair - In this capacity you'll be responsible for overseeing the Goodie Bag Chair(s) and any other club fundraising efforts. In addition, you'll be reaching out to our community partners to seek funds for some of our activities (Tailgates, Colorado Night, etc.) and track donations received throughout the year.

Other Positions to be filled:
  • Colorado Parents' Club POC for "Taste of Home" - a new, annual, parent-led morale event to begin in March 2023. This event provides cadets the opportunity to experience activities, entertainment, and food from six geographic regions of the United States. 
    ​
  • I-Day Chair(s). We looking forward to again hosting our traditional picnic this year. We will need an organized individual (or team) to lead this signature event. This committee chair will work closely with the AOG and USAFA senior leadership on this joint effort. The I-Day chair leads the team of CPC volunteers to cover everything from food prep and serving, to volunteer coordinating, to the letter writing campaign, etc.

  • Goodie Bag Committee - The Goodie Bag Committee assists the Goodie Bag Chairs with all they do to organize this amazing event. Goodie Bags are our club's only fundraiser, and it is how we are able to fund the annual I-Day picnic and events such as Tailgates and Colorado Night.
