Dear Parents,

      The United States Naval Academy Parent's Club of Western NY was formed as a support group for Parents of Midshipmen at the Academy. Composed of parents, friends, relatives and sponsors of current USNA Midshipmen and Graduates from the western part of New York State. Including Buffalo and Rochester, our club encompasses a large area from Lake Ontario to the Pennsylvania State line and from Lake Erie to Geneva and Corning in the east. Approximately 75 families of current Mids and alumni make up the club.

      The purpose of the club is to provide a support net and source of information of interest to our members about USNA. The Club holds meetings throughout the year, sends care packages to our Mids and provides  mentoring and assistance as requested by our members, especially to the incoming class of Plebes(first-year Midshipman). We also give gifts to our graduating Midshipman.

      In order to carry out this mission effectively, we need financial support. Our dues are $40.00 per family of current Midshipmen,  $20.00 per Alumni , Alumni Parents  NAPS, others.  You may either bring your dues to our first meeting in September, or mail them to our club treasurer:

Susan Sizemore, Treasurer

PO Box 613

East Amherst, NY 14051

Please make check payable to WNY USNA Parents’ Club

GREAT FELLOWSHIP is probably the most important reason to belong. Being a Midshipman Parent is very different from being a parent of a student at a civilian college. The USNA Parents' Club of Western NY allows you to have fun while sharing your joys and difficulties with other parents who are having and/or have survived similiar experiences.

It's more fun to ride the "Roller Coaster" together!

For more info...call or e-mail any of our Club Officers...we will be more than Happy to Help!

Our meetings are held from 1:00pm - 3:00pm

At the NYS Veterans’ Home

220 Richmond Avenue

Batavia, NY

     All regular club meetings throughout the year are held at this location. As you enter the grounds into the VA, we will be in the first building on your right.

     We look forward to seeing you at our September meeting. Thank you for your support!
