News
From national VHPA Headquarters:
As you know, another year has passed and it's time to be thinking about
registering for Reunion 2008 in San Antonio, TX. Online registration opened a
couple of weeks ago and it looks like we're going to have a great turnout as we
descend on the noted Riverwalk. You can get all of the information you need at
http://www.vhpareunion.org (including a link for registering) or you can
register using the form in the Aviator. Don't
procrastinate, click that register link now.
The Executive Council, National Reunion Committee, and VHPA Staff & HQ look
forward to another great reunion and for you to be there! If you have any
questions, contact
cholly@vhpa.org (reunion webmaster).
Here's hoping to see you there!
