From the Co-Presidents
Hello CPC families!

We hope you enjoyed your Thanksgiving break with your cadet(s). It is hard to believe that Winter Break is only about one week away and that 2021 will soon be coming to a close. It has been good to get back to many of our in-person activities this year. We are looking forward to hosting the Colorado All Service Academy Ball (CASAB) on December 29th. The CASAB committee has been working hard to make this a fun and festive event. See more CASAB information below. There are many CPC activities planned for 2022 - starting with Valentine's Goodie Bag assembly in February. Speaking of our 2022 activities, we are in need of volunteers to make them happen. Please consider sharing your time and talents:

  • Fund Raising Chair (elected position)

  • 2022 End of Year Celebration Chair(s)

  • We need a 2024 or 2025 family to work with Colleen and Gary Foster to coordinate details for the for the 2022 New Appointee Event on 12 June. We are planning a fun, in-person event at Top Golf to welcome the new Appointees for the Class of 2026. Please reach out to Colleen Foster for more information.

  • 2022 I-Day Chair(s)

You can send an email to ec@usafacpc.org to volunteer for any of these positions.

Wishing you a wonderful holiday season and a Happy New Year!
