This is an opportunity for Naval Academy alumni and friends to celebrate the founding of their alma mater and to provide valuable information to students/candidates about the Naval Academy and its admissions process.

The members of the U. S. Naval Academy Alumni Ass’n Tampa Bay Chapter invite alumni, friends, and all Florida West Coast high school students and parents (freshmen through seniors), who are candidates for admission or who are interested in learning more about the Naval Academy, to attend.

Active duty, reserve, and retired Navy and Marine Corps officer alumni will be on hand to share their academy and service experiences with students, candidates, and parents on a one-to-one basis during dinner.

The Tampa Bay Alumni Chapter will host all candidates and students. All candidates/students must be accompanied by at least one parent. There is no cost to the candidate or student. For all others, there will be a fee of $50.00 per person for dinner (registration goes up to $55.00 after September 23rd).

Reservations, entrée choices, and payment are required by Monday, October 3, 2022, at 1700 hours (5:00 PM).  Please make your reservations early to ensure your opportunity to become informed about the Naval Academy and to take advantage of the early registration payment discount!
