UPCOMING WAFAPA EVENTS
15 May 2021 New Appointee Orientation
New Appointee Orientation - May 15, 2021 in Milwaukee
WAFAPA will welcome the Wisconsin appointees for the Class of 2025 and preparatory school candidates to an orientation at the War Memorial Center in Milwaukee on May 15, 2021 from 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. The guest speaker will be Major General Paul Knapp, Wisconsin’s Adjutant General. He commands the Wisconsin National Guard and he is a 1992 graduate of the Air Force Academy!
We are excited to offer an in-person event after holding a virtual orientation last year. The traditional New Appointee Orientation is an invaluable resource for incoming basic cadets and their families to get questions answered and to meet other cadets and fellow appointees from Wisconsin. Year after year, we consistently get overwhelming positive feedback on this event. It is well worth your time! Email WAFAPA Co-President Maureen Guenther for more information.

26 June 2021 "Spring" Annual Meeting
Ever since our first Wisconsin Night in 2019, we discovered that cadets love to rep their Wisconsin pride with cheeseheads! So join us at the Original Cheesehead Factory and make your own! We will tour the factory where all the glorious cheese foam products are made. Make plans to join us in Milwaukee on Saturday, June 26, 2021 from 12pm to 3pm. The event includes lunch, tour and making your own cheesehead! More details to come!
We will present the gifts to senior parents and induct the new WAFAPA board for the 2021-2022 school year. Please welcome Co-Presidents Jim and Jane Carrig, Co-VP's Fran and Steve Johnson, Treasurer Wendy Bautch, Membership Alicia and Brett Chenoweth. Thank you for helping to ensure WAFAPA's continued service to our Wisconsin families and USAFA cadets!
We still need your help with many of the other roles: Summer Picnic Auction Coordinator, Doolie Bag Coordinator, Falcon Raffle Coordinator, Parents Weekend Reception Chair, Parents Weekend Football Tickets, Dark Ages Packages, Birthday Cards, Wisconsin Night, and the 2021 All Academies Ball WAFAPA Liaison (West Point parents are hosting.)
