Anyone interested in going to Raleigh on behalf of our veterans

please call Steve Decoste at (704) 787-4042 and join us on the bus.

DAV Chapter 10 Charlotte has chartered two buses to Raleigh for Legislative Day on Wednesday May 14th.  To ensure that we fill the buses I would like to get the word out to all of the local Disabled American Veteran Chapters that we have 98 seats that are open (first come first serve) on the buses for transportation to and from Raleigh.

I am hoping to have two pick up points for this event but I am still awaiting confirmation from Chapter 27 (Concord) and VFW Post 9488 at 2831 The Plaza as the other possible pick up point.  I will send further details as they become available.
