Of The President

It has been an active month for me

and for Chapter 17 as you will be

hearing when we get to Committee

Reports. Especially of note are the developing plans

for our First Annual Vietnam Veterans Day in Nevada

Event at the Gold Coast Hotel and Casino on March

30th. This is a first time event we plan to sponsor on

a yearly basis that has significant potential to become

a major event in future years. Thank you to Joni

Giancola for the original suggestion that we ask

Governor Sandoval for a Proclamation and Don

Leckburg, Pete Fabiani and Mike Giancola who is

always here and part of whatever is happening for

putting their heads together and running with this project.

Details such as special guests and speakers are

being worked out. You will find additional info elsewhere

in this issue of The Perimeter Guard. Seating is

limited so please call the Chapter Hall (396-2338) for

reservations.

The Chapter was chosen as recipient of memorial

donations to Vietnam Veterans James F Barris. The

Barris’s often drove by the Chapter Hall but Jim never

got around to dropping in. We celebrated his memorial

service out at the Veterans Cemetery Thursday

afternoon February 7th. I am assisting his wife Sherri

in obtaining the posthumous award of the Purple Heart

Medal he so deserves.

Patriot Don Sacco has sufficient signatures to submit

the application for the Charter for the new VVA

Chapter in Henderson. Well done, Don. We very

much appreciate all the work that has gone into this

and are proud to have it happening so quickly. Don

plans to have the packet ready to submit to NSC

President Terry Hubert at the winter State Council at

our Chapter Hall
