Vince Shank Birthday Party‏

Richard Moyer

8/26/16

We have been invited to this birthday party by his daughter Nancy. Vince was the WW11 veteran and a POW that was written about in the RJ for Memorial Day. His daughter has invited all veterans to this party , because Vince will be 100 on Sept 19, 2016. So spread the word to all veterans. I will be there for sure since my dad was liberated from the same POW camp on April 30, 1945. The media will also be there for this event. So lets rally the troops. The time is 3pm to 6pm on Monday September 19. Location is

Echelon Senior Center

4330 S. Eastern Ave

Las Vegas , NV

WHEN:    Saturday, September 3rd.  8:00 am Officers meeting; 10:00 am General Meeting

As the Jr Vice Commander for Nevada I attended the MOPH National Convention in Norfolk, VA and will update you on convention happenings.
CHAPTER OFFICERS -- 8 am Officers Meeting,  Please plan on attending. We hope you'll have a report at the General Meeting.
Prior to starting our 10 am meeting we will be presenting the owner of the I-HOP Restaurant in Summerlin with a Purple Heart parking sign he will be installing in the parking lot.
We will have a special speaker for our 10 am General Membership Meeting -- Jim Lytner, founder and COO of the Veterans Transition Resource Center (VTRC) in North Las Vegas not far from the V.A.M.C.  I've heard Jim speak and I attended the opening of the VTRC.  You'll be impressed with what has been accomplished for our veterans thus far.
Adjutant Richard Small and Sr Vice Commander Dick Moyer will be departing for Hanoi, Vietnam, a few days before our September meeting to help build some homes for Vietnamese families.  They have done this in several previous years too.
We are looking for chairmen of two new committees: PURPLE HEART PARKING SIGNS and VETERAN SUICIDE PREVENTION.  More details at the meeting.
