FPA Members and Guests

Last year, the U.S. Army War College invited us to their “Know Your World” Event. Well, they have invited us back as “distinguished guests” (see below) again this year. This will be 

• Date: Wednesday, November 6, 2024
• Time: 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM 
• Place: Carlisle Expo Center
  100 K Street
  Carlisle, PA 17013
• RSVP Before October 20 (see below)

From Bethany Hess, Plans & Operations Officer, International Fellows, USAWC:

Know Your World is an exclusive Carlisle Barracks evening event that showcases the International Fellows’ culture and national heritage. International Fellows display various items, present food, and are given this opportunity to share info and traditions from their home countries. 

The first hour of the event is reserved for the command staff and distinguished guests while the remainder of the time is open to Carlisle Barracks.  

Each FPA member would be required to RSVP through our office.

As “distinguished guests” we are invited to attend the first hour as well as the remainder of the program and they have offered to let us enter at 4:50 PM, giving us a “head start” on the rest. It will be much less crowded in the first hour. There is no charge. 

Here is a video of a Know Your World event:

This video was taken during the last three hours of the event when it was open to the entire Carlisle Barracks. 

And here are some comments from last year’s FPA attendees: 

“It was a great learning experience! The families at the tables were so passionate about their cultures, it was incredible!”

“The two things that impressed us were the format allowed us to communicate with both the officer and their family in an informal manner and the officer could showcase some of their country’s heritage.”

“What an interesting, delightful and educational event!”
