About Chapter 1030

 

 

   Our chapter was organized in June, 2009 by several members from Chapter 970 living in Cumming, GA. and recruitments of Vietnam Veterans through ads and word of mouth.

   By September, 2009 a sufficient number of VVA members were present, paid up and committed allowing us to formally apply for Chapter status. With the formal recognition by the State Org. in November, 2009 and the presentation of our Charter we were officially recognized as Chapter 1030.

   Appointed officers directed us until April, 2010 when elections were held and subsequent elected officers were sworn in and immediately began serving.

  Meetings formally proceed on a monthly basis and informally each Friday (see meeting).

Minutes – Monthly Meeting: April 2, 2012

At 1905 hours the meeting was brought to order by President Billy Darby

The Invocation was given by Dave Dever

A moment of silence was given out of respect for all POW/MIAs who still remain unaccounted for from our Nation’s wars.

The Chapter saluted the flag and repeated the Pledge of Allegiance.

Treasurer Larry Garrison gave the Treasurers Report.

The Guest Speakers for the meeting were Larry and Trish Garrison who gave a presentation of their cruise in 2011. They visited China, Viet Nam, Australia and several other countries. They displayed pictures of the trip on a computer as Larry narrated the trip and all its stops on a map. Members asked a lot of questions and enjoyed the presentation.

The Board of Chapter 1030 met and approved purchasing an ad in the North Forsyth Middle School Annual to support our community and also approved a donation to help defer the costs of building a ramp for a disabled veteran to support our veteran community.

At 2005 the meeting was adjourned by President Darby.
