What We Do

We publish the USAFA PAWS Newsletter for members. It includes helpful information on upcoming Academy events; a calendar of club events; news and pictures about our cadets and families.
We hold Monthly Meetings to get to know each other, support our cadets and plan or work on our other activities.
We maintain and publish a Membership Roster of cadets and parents from Washington State. Privacy laws require that we give out this information only to enrolled members.
We hold an Appointee Breakfast each June to honor and meet incoming US Air Force Academy cadets and their families.
We participate in and take our turn hosting the All Academy Ball during the holiday season each year. Our club assumes a leadership role every three years, rotating with the Military and Naval Academy parents' clubs.
We get together to prepare and mail Care Packages to all members' cadets at least once per semester.
