4:00 Plebe Parent's Weekend Cookout - Siragusa's
More info
This event is especially important for the parents of
Plebes, but certainly does not limit attendance by other
members. Midshipmen are welcome to attend and eat
some great cookout food! Now that our Plebes have just about made it
through the summer, it's time to go over what they have
accomplished so far and to share information about what
is expected of them this first year, and how to better
prepare for it. For those Plebe parents that were unable
to attend the Hail and Farewell
Luncheon, this will be a great
opportunity to catch up on what you
missed. Also you will be able to
pick up your USNAPCGC Plebe Parent
box which includes the 98 page
"Original" Plebe Parent Handbook" ,
the 2008 Yard Dog Tales, and many
other helpful items for you.
This event will be held on Saturday,
August 2 at the Siragusa's.
More info available
soon. (Don't forget that Plebe Parent's Weekend on
the "Yard" is Thursday-Sunday, August 7-10).
Latest News
Update from our President Briget
Bordino
Wow, what an incredible day! At last
count, we had over 100 people in
attendance at this years Hail &
Farewell held in Salisbury, NC. Not
even the scorching heat could hold
back the excited new NAPster,
Plebes, Mids and families from
joining us as we celebrated the
arrival of the class of 2012 and the
departure of our fine young Ensigns
& 2nd Lieutenant.
We welcomed 21 new families to our
club. I believe that is a new club
record! It was so exciting to talk
to our newest members and relive the
elation of what they are about to
undertake. Many of their questions
were once ours as we remembered our
1st meetings. This club was formed
to support our Midshipmen and their
families. We hope that everyone
feels free to reach out to anyone
associated with the USNAPCGC,
especially the board members.
It has been amazing to watch Nick,
DyAnna, Stefanie and Stephen grow
into the fine young adults that they
are today. Hearing their stories,
sharing in their parents joy as each
year passed made Saturday
exceptional. For the past 4 years
we got to share in their experiences
and get a glimpse of what a
Midshipman's life is like. As new
members coming into the club, we
were amazed at their fortitude,
poise and confidence. As
established members we are in awe of
what they have accomplished.
I’d like to remind everyone of our
next meeting, August 2nd is the
Pre-Plebe Parent Weekend Picnic.
The Siragusa's have generously
volunteered their home. The club
will provide the hamburgers and
hotdogs, and we ask all members to
bring 1 side dish and drinks. Check
www.usnapcgc.org for any and all
club updates.
Also, please hurry and purchase your
tickets at www.navysports.com
for the Pittsburgh vs. Navy football
game & parking pass. More
information will be forthcoming on
this club tradition soon!
Thank you and remember-Good luck
happens when preparedness meets
opportunity.
