I emailed Joe Ramirez and he connected me with Lisa Kalmus. Her response
and contact info are below. Let me know if you’d like the article and
donation form. Will share via Dropbox or separate email since they exceed
Freelist attachment limits.
In a subsequent email Lisa said spurs, sabers, and Sam Browne belts are
also needed. Boots do not need to be re-soled. Donors however may choose to
pay for that either before the boots are donated or after they are loaned.

Dear Mr. McLennan,
Thank you for your interest in donating your senior boots to the Corps
Center boot loan program. We are pleased that you have made this inquiry
as our loan program benefits so many cadets each year. I have also
attached a copy of the article that appeared in the Spring 2020, Vol. 37,
Issue 1 Guidon magazine of the Corps of Cadets Association.
Since boot prices have now climbed to the range of $1,600-2,100, many
cadets find this an obstacle to wearing boots their senior year.
Fortunately our program helps alleviate both long-term and short-range boot
needs. As an example of the impact that this program has had, I currently
have well over one hundred cadets in loan boots. Students are very mindful
of what a difference this program makes and are always willing to keep the
boots in the best condition possible so that those who follow them might
also benefit. Know that your boots will find a good home and serve a truly
worthy purpose, enriching the lives of cadets year after year.
I have attached our donation form, and my return address information can
be found below. Please fill out the highlighted areas, especially the
signature line at the bottom of the form, as this is sometimes missed. The
boots may be mailed, sent with another individual, or brought in-person
along with the donation form.
If you have any questions or require any further assistance, please let me
know.
Sincerely,
Lisa G. Kalmus, MA ’93
