CFA
GOALS:
Since its
inception in 1993, The Citadel Family Association
(CFA) has been dedicated to three main goals:
* To provide information to, and support for, the
families of current cadets;
* To provide families with a forum for discussion
of common interests; and
* To support college initiatives.
CFA BENEFITS:
* The "Nice
To Have List" of extras to send with incoming
freshmen (in addition to the college's official
list).
*One Mother's Experience - "Survival
Tips"
* Cadet company representatives
who can be a liaison for other cadet parents each
year.
* All In The Family
(sponsored by the South
Carolina Federal Credit Union), a quarterly newsletter
sent to all cadet parents.

CFA
- Finding a Hotel:
Finding
hotels at reasonable costs can be tricky in Charleston,
as pricing jumps during event weekends (which are
frequent in this town!)..
We recommend using online hotel search websites,
but always ask for a Citadel or Citadel Family Association
discount. This requires you to compare rates online,
verse a phone call w/ mention of the discount possibility
above.
For
those budget minded, consider searches of hotels West
of the Ashley River, or in North Charleston near the
airport.

is appreciated and that they remain in our prayers.
The initial response
to the program brought with it an overwhelming outpouring
of support from our CFA families and Citadel
Cadets. This mission was given the designation of
Citadel Heroes. This is how the Citadel Heroes enterprise
was born... (link for more)
