The annual meeting of DAV’s national body is slated for Aug. 9–12 at Bally’s Las Vegas Hotel and Casino. As always, this event gives DAV and Auxiliary members the chance to address the needs of injured and ill veterans and their families and survivors. It serves as one of the premier opportunities to be an active part of DAV and to help steer the legislative direction of this great organization. “Convention attendees will hear directly from subject-matter experts on the most pressing issues our community faces today,” said National Adjutant Marc Burgess. “If you want to be part of the conversation and the solution, this is the place to do it.” During the convention, national officers will be elected, and national leadership will brief members on the organization’s progress throughout the past year. While attending delegates will have important business to accomplish, members and their families who attend will enjoy fellowship and fun during the event and at nearby attractions. On Sunday and Monday, children ages 5 through 12 can attend Kids Camp. It runs 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and is free of charge, though meals are not provided. After hours, you and your guests can enjoy all Las Vegas has to offer. There are a limited number of reduced-rate rooms available. As of May 28, all reduced-rate rooms in Bally’s Jubilee Tower had been reserved, but you may reserve a room in Paris at the same reduced rate. To make reservations at Paris, call 877-603-4389.
