FROM THE PRESIDENT

I wish to thank all the volunteers who worked

diligently to make the June Mini-reunion a

success.  We have completed the trenching

and laid the drainage tiles on the grounds.

So far, it seems to be working very well.

 

                        We have also planted an additional 300 white pine saplings

                        which were donated.  You will notice a new look to the inside

                        of Beers R Us, otherwise known as the beer barn. 

                        The organization has purchased a working cooler, so the

                        volunteers hopefully will not have to work out of the horse

                        troughs anymore. 

                        We are now in the final stages of planning for the 25th

                        Annual Vietnam Veterans reunion this September.  A

                        reminder to those who plan on attending, that the official

                        opening is on Thursday this year, due to all we needed

                        to get worked into our schedule.  You will want to reserve

                        your golf carts with this in mind.  We have many special

                        events scheduled.  We will have a static display of a huey

                        and one huey which had flown in Vietnam will be flying

                        in and landing. Parachutists will also be landing on the

                        grounds of HCVVVO. 

                        Make your plans now to attend.

                       

                        Your President,

                        Dennis Crouse
