News & Announcements
News From CPCHello CPC Families,
It was wonderful to see many of you at the End of Year Celebration on 20 April 2024. Thank you to Ann Pederson, Jackie Breeden & Mandy Wade for the wonderful event! We congratulate all of the Firsties as they finish out their academic year and look forward to graduation! For those seniors who were not able to make the celebration, we want to ensure your cadet receives their special gift. There is an opportunity to pick up your gift on Thursday, April 25th, at Sijan Hall, and Vandy Hall. Please make sure your cadet reviews the separate email that was sent with specific times. Additionally, we will set up a table on Sunday, May 5, 2024, from 9 AM to 3 PM at the Cadet Field House, where you can collect your gift during our Goodie Bag Assembly. Please enter through the west entrance. Parents, please remind your cadets to pick up their gift. We hosted our Spring General Membership Meeting right after the End of Year Celebration. Thank you to those who were able to attend. An organization like ours cannot operate without the active participation of its members. We are excited to announce that at our the meeting, we approved a new logo and initiated plans for rebranding. We look forward to sharing a glimpse of the new logo with you soon. Those interested in obtaining the General Membership Meeting slides can do so by reaching out to info@usafacpc.org. It is bittersweet as we say thank you to volunteers that have faithfully served over the last several years. Once our cadets graduate, we can no longer serve as a Executive Board Member. However, please keep in mind that Honorary Members can serve as Committee Chairs. Thank you to all our volunteers that have helped this past year. This is what makes or club special!
