July Coffee & Conversation
The July parent Coffee & Conversation event is typically held during the halfway point of Cadet Basic Training. This informal/casual get-together is a wonderful way for experienced members/parents to offer support and to get to know our New Cadet parent members. Parents may share news from letters they may have received from their cadet, while other members may offer advice and insight as to what the New Cadets may be experiencing during CBT. March Back, A-Day and the upcoming academic year is also discussed. ** Also important in July - Army/Navy tickets go on sale! Each cadet attends the game with the Corp of Cadets. They do not need to purchase a ticket. There are four tickets available to each cadet family.

One of our most attended events of the year- our Boodle Packing Party is not to be missed! Every February, the WWPPA gathers together during the West Point "gloom" period, to stuff "Boodle" boxes (care packages) and then deliver them to West Point for cadet pick-up.
