COLORADO NIGHT | Tentative March 22, 2021

  • A night filled with food, music, fun and prizes for our Colorado cadets and their guests. ​ 

END OF YEAR CELEBRATION | APRIL 2021

A great time together for all CPC members to celebrate our cadets and, especially, to honor our Seniors. 
  • We need a 2023 or 2024 family to work along side Dan and Denise Bruder to coordinate the details for the Colorado Parents' Club End of Year Celebration. This fun event will be held in April and will honor our seniors and celebrate all that our club has done over the past year. Please reach out to the Bruders if you'd like to help!

CPC GENERAL MEMBERSHIP SPRING MEETING | APRIL 2021

Our 2020 Spring General Membership meeting was one of our best attended meetings to date. While we definitely missed meeting with you all in person, the Zoom format allowed members from all over the state a chance to participate. We are thankful to the AOG for hosting this meeting for us! Minutes will be available to members. Welcome to our new Board for 2020-2021. 

NEW APPOINTEE LUNCHEON  | JUNE 12, 2021

Every year, we host a welcome meeting for incoming Colorado Appointees. 

For the incoming Colorado Appointees for the USAFA Class of 2024 and USAFA Prep Class of 2021, we hosted a Virtual Meeting for all Colorado Appointees and their families. If you weren't able to make it to our New Appointee Virtual Event on June 13, 2020, we have a portion of the event recorded for you to review. 

  • We need a 2023 or 2024 family to work with Colleen and Gary Foster to coordinate details for the for the 2021 New Appointee Event on 12 June. We are hoping for a fun, in-person event at Whirly Ball to welcome the new Appointees for the Class of 2025. Please reach out to Colleen Foster for more information.

IN-PROCESSING (CLASS OF 2024) DAY | JUNE 25, 2020

Congratulations to all Appointees in the Class of 2024.  The Colorado Parents' Club typically hosts an I-day picnic for all new USAFA families after they drop off their Appointee on I-day. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, there is no family event scheduled this year. However, we have worked with some community partners to provide you with some amazing special offers for breakfast/lunch and an ice cream treat.
 
One of the most important features of our I-day event in years past was to provide families with an opportunity to write their first letter to their cadet. As you may have heard, we are still able to provide you with this wonderful tradition.
 
Many of you not traveling to I-day have already mailed a first letter to our PO Box. If you forgot to do that, don't despair! Feel free to use this stationery, write a letter, scan it, and email it to president@usafacpc.org. We will print it out, place it in an envelope, and include it with the other letters we have collected. Please do this no later than Wednesday, 24 June 2020.
 
If you are traveling with your son/daughter, we encourage you to visit our canopy outside of Doolittle Hall after you drop off your son/daughter where we'll have a folder with stationery for you to write your first letter to your basic cadet. Included in this folder will be the special offers from Kneader's Bakery and Josh and John's Ice Cream.
 
All of these "first letters" will be delivered directly to the cadet squadrons and will not go through the Cadet Mailroom.
 
Our I-day events are solely funded through our Goodie Bag fundraiser. We deliver Goodie Bags to your son/daughter three times a year (Halloween, Valentine's and Spring Finals.) We'll have order forms for you on I-day, but you can always order them online if that's more convenient.

Welcome to the Long Blue Line!

PARENTS' WEEKEND

Parents’ Weekend was cancelled to limit the potential risk of exposure to COVID-19 for our cadets and staff members.

PREP SCHOOL IN-PROCESSING DAY | TBD

Congratulations to all Appointees. Details are still being worked out and we will share those with all of you as soon as plans are finalized.
