Fwd. Minutes of the MOPH meeting 5 May 2018

Robert.  These are the notes I took at today's meeting.
The MOPH Chapter 711 was called to order at 1000 hrs. on 5 May 2018.  Topics of discussion were:
North Las Vegas has agreed to fly the Purple Heart Flag in their lobby whenever we present it to them.  The chapter voted at the April meeting to purchase a flag if NLV agreed to fly it.
It was announced that the DMV will have disabled veteran license plates that also have combat wounded on them available around August time frame.
A motion was made to give $200.00 to "THANK A VET"  to send packages to military personnel stationed overseas.  The motion was voted on and passed.  These packages will go to personnel who are stationed in remote locations
A motion was made to spend $180.00 to purchase a Purple Heart flag and a Purple Heart plaque for Clark County. The motion was voted on and passed.   Clark County has proclaimed itself to be a Purple Heart County and we will present the flag and plaque on August 7 2018 which is Purple heart day.
On 2 May, John Waid and Mac Rowell presented the Purple Heart Leadership award to a JROTC student at Rancho High School.
May 10-13, the 80% scale Vietnam Wall will be displayed at Craig Ranch Regional Park.  There will other displays that honor our military and first responders.
Jim Steinbach issued tickets for the West Coast Regional Finals Rodeo.
The Commander announced the meeting closed at 1115 hrs, at which time the chaplain made his closing prayer and the Sergeant at Arms led us in a closing salute to the flag.
Robert, I hope this is what you are looking for.  Let me know if I can help with anything else..  MAC
