Congressman Dennis Cardoza, D-Merced, along with Congressman George Radanovich, R-Mariposa, will sponsor Academy Information Night on Sept. 29 to familiarize high school juniors and seniors, their parents and high school guidance counselors with educational and career opportunities available at the military service academies.

This informative seminar is an opportunity for all high school students within the 18th and 19th Congressional Districts to discuss the requirements and procedures for seeking a nomination to the academies.

Representatives from the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis and the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy will be available to answer questions at the open house.

Members of the congressmen's staffs will also be available for consultation and will provide service catalogs, application kits and other descriptive materials. There will also be a PowerPoint presentation and a video presentation.

Academy Information Night will be held at 6:30 p.m. at the Harvest Hall of the Stanislaus County Ag Center, 3800 Cornucopia Way, Modesto. All interested parties are invited to attend.

For more information on the application process or to reserve a spot for the information session, please contact Lisa Mantarro Moore with Rep. Cardoza's office at 527-1914 or by e-mail at Lisa.Mantarro@mail.house.gov.
