The VHPAF supported the 26st Melbourne Annual Florida’s Vietnam and all Veterans Reunion at Wickham Park in Melbourne from 23 -28 April 2013.  This was a big event that we support every year.  Many thanks to those who were able to volunteer with setup, working the event and taking down.

VHPAF successfully participated in Sun-N-Fun.  We set up on 30 March 2013 and numerous volunteers supported the sales and memorabilia tents.  We also had the OH-6 and little LOACH on hand.  A veterans area was designated this year by Sun-N-Fun and we had a much larger area to display in this year.  We had good traffic early in the event but crowds were off about 40% this year.  The attached picture below was of the final crew who participated in the event.  Many thanks to those who supported the event and made it a success.  Thanks to Ken Mulholland for the pictures.

VHPAF now has a mailing list which allows subscribed VHPAF members to communicate with each other via a listserver. This listserver is going to be utilized to advise members of upcoming events such as reunions, Board of Directors meetings, etc. The listserver may also be used by members to reconnect and share information from “times long ago”. Maybe we all can hear a new war story or two. The listserver is intended for sharing vhpaf, military, or aviation related information. It is not to be used for jokes, political commentary, or commercial messages. If you are a VHPAF member and you’d like to be added as a subscriber, send an email to the Listserver Administrator, chrisgarbow@bellsouth.net . 250 of your buddies are already there.
