December 1 edition
VVA National Membership Directory Flyer
If have been told or have heard rumors that
the postcard mailing and the phone calls to VVA/AVVA members about the Vietnam
Veterans of America Members Album is a scam, that information and rumor is
totally incorrect. The VVA National Board of Directors approved the contract
agreement with Harris Connect to publish the 2012 VVA Membership Directory at
the BOD Meeting on October 7-8, 2011 in Silver Spring, MD.We are currently in the final stages of preparing Vietnam Veterans of America Members Album; this is the first Membership Directory ever to feature listings along with photos and essays submitted by members. We need your help! A brief telephone call Toll Free to 1-800-970-9773 will ensure your listing is completely accurate and up-to-date. Please, give us a call at your convenience this week so that we may verify your information with you.
Of course, you will be asked if you are interested in purchasing the Members Album and here are the prices. Book Edition Expected Unit Price:
Softbound $89.99
Hardbound $99.99
CD-ROM $99.99
CD-ROM and Softbound edition combination $109.99
CD-ROM and Hardbound edition combination $119.99
Alternate CD-ROM (if applicable) $24.99
This may seem a bit high, but it is only $10.00 higher than the 2008 VVA Membership Directory and 11,301 VVA/AVVA members purchased a directory in 2008. The $30,655 in royalty earned went to the VVA National Membership Affairs Committee cost center and besides the postcard mailing; if you have an e-mail address with VVA, you should receive an e-mail from XLW_pcr@harrisconnect.com also.
No one is required to purchase a directory, you may choose to Opt-Out in having your name or information listed in the Members Album and your wishes will be honored. If you have complaints, please send the VVA CFO Joe Sternburg an e-mail at jsternburg@vva.org and he will handle the inquiry.
