Statement in VVA  Henderson Chapter President Donald Sacco’s email to the members.
“We received word this morning, 26 February  2013, that our request for a VVA Chapter has been approved by the National Headquarters.  We have been designated as Chapter 1076. We can now move ahead to firmly establish our chapter here in Henderson.”
 Our meetings are on the second Thursday of every month at 7:00 p.m. Through the kind generosity of the VFW for allowing us to use their facility we are able to meet at the VFW Basic Post 3848, 401 West Lake Meade, Henderson, Nevada.
 A big thanks to the interim Executive Board for volunteering to hold a position until our application is approved. Especially our President Donald Sacco for his tenacity in getting all the names collected to be able to submit our application. Also, big thanks to the President of VVA Chapter 17, Las Vegas, Richard Small, who gave us his expertise during the whole process as well as aiding in filling and filing forms.

In our April 11th meeting we will be having our official chapter elections. Not running for their present position Donald Sacco and Chad Avery. The remaining Executive Officers will be running for their positions. If you are interested in any of these positions come to the meeting and submit your ballot.
Currently we have 30 members on our list and with future commitments from interested veterans.

There have been a number of changes at Chapter 1076 since this blog was posted. We should get together with the officers and update this information.
