WARNING ORDER TO MSVHPA!

Dissolution Meeting

It is the concensus of a majority of the active membership that it is
time to dissolve MSVHPA due to low participation and interest.
If you have suggestions as to worthy charitable causes to which
we should contribute our funds, please send them to the webmaster
or attend the final meeting:

1600 hrs 13 Dec 2011

Century 21 Office in Goodlettsville.

We will likely adjourn to a local restaurant for a final Dutch Treat meal.

Nashville Veterans Day Parade, 2010

It was an absolutely georgeous day, with temps in the '70's, a great
turnout by Nashville to honor its veterans, and several FNGs joined us!
