From the Co-Presidents
Hello CPC families!

It was wonderful to see many of you at the End of Year Celebration on 29 April 2023. It was the first time we have been able to celebrate since 2019. Thank you to Heather Benson & Jackie Breeden for the wonderful event! We apologize for not getting a picture of all of the cadets and the individual classes. It will be added to the agenda for next years' celebration.

For those seniors who were not able to make the celebration, we will have a table set up Sunday, May 7, 2023 from 9 am to 3 pm at the Cadet Field House. Parents' please remind your cadets to pick up their gift. It will be during our Goodie Bag Assembly so please go to the west entrance and you should see a table to pick up your gift.

We hosted our Spring General Membership Meeting right after the End of Year Celebration. Thank you to those who were able to attend. An organization like ours cannot operate without the active participation of its members.
