Chapter 711 Purple Heart Patriots --
     Saturday, May 6th -- The Military Order of the Purple Heart Department of Nevada and Chapter 711 will be meeting at the South Point Hotel & Casino, 9777 Las Vegas Blvd, So.
         0800 hrs - Mission Bay meeting room open for socializing, coffee and pastries hosted by Chapter 730 (see below for directions to room)
         0900 hrs - Department of Nevada Convention meeting (Mission Bay room)
                              Convention sounds like quite an event, Lions and Rotarians with their pin-laden vests, etc. And what does "Department" mean?
                              Department of Nevada is MOPH jargon for MOPH State of Nevada.  No pin-laden vests, just MOPH attire, and a meeting of 12 to 30 Department officers, but open to anyone with a Purple Heart.
                              What happens?  Usual boring reports, then nominations and elections of 2017-18 Dept. officers followed by installation of same.
                              Complimentary tickets to the National College Rodeo Finals will be distributed to the Department and Chapter Commanders.
         1100 hrs - Las Vegas Chapter 711 monthly meeting (Mission Bay room) and installation of officers elected and appointed in April.  Rodeo tickets will be distributed to Chap 711 patriots
         1900 hrs - National College Rodeo Finals in South Point's indoor arena                             
The following directions to the MISSION BAY are courtesy of Chapter 730 Commander Dan Peterson:
       From the Coronado Cafe, enter the hallway to the Equestrian (Arena) Center Hallway:
     Walk down the hallway towards the Arena, past the horse with rider, stay to the left of the hallway.
  • Turn left down the first hallway past the horse and rider, above you will see a sign saying "Bay Meeting Rooms" just before the main doors into the arena.
    • Walk down that hallway, it has pictures on each wall as you walk down the hallway, you will again see a sign above saying "Bay Rooms" to the right at the next hallway.
    • When you turn right, continue down the hallway, on the wall at the end of the hallway you will see another sign saying "Bay Rooms" just above the marque (TV).
    • Take the hallway to the left, the first room on the right down the hallway is the "Mission Bay" room.
