"The Vietnam Helicopter History CD-ROM"

Mel Cannon has Come up with a wonderful idea to help raise money for the Reunion Fund. 

Mel's plan is to purchase "The Vietnam Helicopter History CD-ROM"  from The VHPA
and make them available for sale at the Reunion; to the Attendees of the C/227th DC Reunion.
All profits from the sales will go into the Reunion Hospitality Room Fund to help purchase
Liquor/Wine/Beer/Sodas & Snacks for Everyone to enjoy while at the Reunion. 
This is a Win-Win for both the C/227th Group & the VHPA
(Vietnam Helicopter Pilots Association). 

Mel is also asking for some Volunteers interested to help with this endeavor, 
if you would like to help out, Please contact Mel at  melcanon@yahoo.com 

The CD-ROM's will sell for $25.00 and if you are interested in purchasing one or more
please contact Mel Canon. We would like to get as many possible PRE-ORDERED
so Mel will have an idea on how many CD's to obtain.
