From the Co-Presidents
Dear CPC families,
We hope this message finds you well. As we approach the end of the academic year, we wanted to share some important updates and upcoming events with you.

First, congratulations to the Firsties who recently celebrated 100s Weekend! We hope your Cadets enjoyed the weekend and came back to some creative room decorations.

We wanted to take a moment to thank all of our wonderful volunteers for the successful Valentine's Day Goodie Bag Assembly. We couldn't have done it without you! A special shout-out goes to our dedicated Goodie Bag team who exceeded all expectations once again. We truly appreciate all the hard work and time that each of our volunteers put in to make this program a success. Photos may be found here from the day!

As many of you know, our End of Year Celebration is coming up on April 29th. This is a great opportunity to come together as a community and celebrate the achievements of our cadets. We hope to see you there!

We are also having our Spring General Membership Meeting on April 29th, immediately following the End of Year Celebration.

This is an important event where we will be electing the new CPC Board for the 2023-2024 year. Please join us to get involved in the club's activities for the upcoming year.

In addition to our usual events, we are excited to announce a new program, the Wingman Mentor Program, for our Doolie families. We are looking for mentors to help support and guide new Doolie parents as they navigate their cadet's first year. If you are interested in being a mentor or learning more about the program, please reach out to us at [email protected]

Finally, we want to encourage everyone to support the Taste of Home event put on by the parents' clubs. This event provides cadets with the opportunity to experience activities, entertainment, and food from different regions of the United States. To learn more and donate to support the event, please visit https://usafatoh.afaparents.org/fundraisers.html.

Thank you for your continued support of the CPC and our cadets. We hope to see you soon at our upcoming events!

Sincerely,
- Danny and Kathy Cometto, Co-Presidents
