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 staff will also be available for consultation and will provide service catalogs, application kits, and other descriptive materials. Additional information will be provided with a video and power point presentation. Academy Information Night will be held Tuesday, Sept. 28, at 6:30 p.m. at the Harvest Hall located at the Stanislaus County Ag Center, 3800 Cornucopia Way, Modesto. All interested parties are invited to attend, the congressman's office said in a news release. Each member of Congress is allowed a total of five appointees in each service academy.
