Here’s our latest Newsletter which contains helpful information:
Kansas Vietnam Veterans and Family Reunion, Inc.
4933 SW 2nd
Terrace,
The Kansas Vietnam Veterans and Family Reunion became the Kansas Veterans and Family Reunion, on the eve of Saturday, July 21st. Veterans, their families and friends from all over the nation, will meet on the 3rd weekend of July (18, 19 & 20), 2008 at Veteran’s Point; Shady Creek, loop 3, El Dorado Lake; El Dorado, Kansas. Please visit the El Dorado State Park website for additional information.
For those of you, who know returning Vets from current conflicts; let them know about our Reunion. Never pass up an opportunity to welcome a brother and sister home. You know how you felt when you came home. These kids need you too! Some of them will be going through the same shock you came home with and each of you know how much it helps to know there is someone who understands.
All veterans are welcome! As in the past, we will have on-site counseling for those wanting to talk &/or listen. If any of you have a special idea or something you would like us to include; please contact us to let us know what you have in mind so we can see if it would be feasible. Who knows, maybe your idea could be used for the good of all.
We will have the commemorative buttons on sale, prior to the Reunion, at area businesses for your convenience. These will sell for $3.00 per button and you will need one to get past the security gate on Veteran’s Point (children 12 and under do not require a button, but you may purchase them as souvenirs if you like).
Everyone will go through the gate! The registration table will be at the gate and you may purchase your buttons there. Please feel free to buy as many as you like to help support the Reunion. The entire point will be fenced behind the shower house with NO through vehicle traffic beyond the fence. There will be a marked path for traffic to get back on the main road, but there will be NO THROUGH TRAFFIC. Those Vets & family members who registered last year, need to check in at the point entrance before purchasing their buttons off site. We have a special “Thank you” for you for continuing your registration and keeping your address current for our mailings. The list from last year will be available.
All Veterans, their families and friends from all over the nation, will once again be entertained with music by live bands and the handy DJ skills of our sound man Curtis Davis. There will be auctions, raffles, kids’ entertainment tent, U.S.O. style show, food, drink and other venders. The auctions and raffles are used to fund the reunion's expenses and prepare for the following year.
Opening ceremonies will begin at 10:00 a.m. Friday morning and announcements will be made throughout the Reunion for special events. Registration will be opened at 9:00 a.m. Friday July 18th and is still $3.00 each. We will have a convenient location for any donation located at the front of the stage for those who really want to help with the extra cash they don’t spend on raffle and auction items.
We are laying the groundwork for the future and we are certain all will be extremely proud of what is to come!

as they are looking to retire from the staff. We need volunteers who wish
to become involved or wish to become a member of the new staff, to keep the
proud tradition of this Reunion going! If you wish to volunteer, please
