LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY
                                  VVA National Convention From July 28th to August 2nd
 
                   Have you made your reservations yet? Have you signed up as a delegate?
Remember, each Chapter is entitled to a certain number of delegates based on your chapter membership size.
 
This is your chance to make a difference and find out how VVA at the National Level operates. Come out and make a difference. NJ State Council is going to pay your registration fee. The deal is, if you want to be a delegate and sign up and register by the 15th of June, State Council will pay your registration fee once we are home and you supply proof that you were there.
 
There will be a special showing of the HBO movie "Taking Chance" which if you have not seen it yet, that alone is worth going to the convention to see. Chance's father, (a brother Vietnam vet) and the Lt. Col. who accompanied Chance home will be at the convention also.
 
Did I mention, Heather French, (Past Miss America, 2000) will also be there and Pat Sajak of Wheel of Fortune fame, but not Vana will also be there. Ret. LT. Gen. Russell Honore, The Dingalings of the Dean Martin show and others will also be in attendance.
 
So don't wait any longer, call the Galt House Hotel and Suites to make your hotel reservations. It's only $90 a night and $120 per night for a suite. Be sure to ask for the person taking care of the VVA Convention reservations. Then go to the VVA National site and pull down the convention registration form under special events. Fill it out, make a copy for yourself, write out your check or give your credit card info and send it in. See, that wasn't hard to do at all, was it?
 
See you at the June State Council Meeting at Chapter 327. If not, then I look forward to seeing you at the convention at the end of July.
Herb Worthington, president
NJ State Council
Vietnam Veterans of America.
