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. |
