Greetings Brothers and Sisters,

We are in a new year and we have new opportunities to mentor and build up our Auxiliaries.  It is the responsibility of all members to know if their auxiliary is a healthy auxiliary.  I will be sending out the yearly Healthy Auxiliary Checklist.  If you attend a Training Academy you will receive one there.

 

Which flag describes your Auxiliary?  At your next meeting, check the 5 Essentials of an Auxiliary, to determine what flag shows the status of your auxiliary.

 

Green Flag Auxiliary  

Yellow Flag Auxiliary

Red Flag Auxiliary

 

 5 Essentials of an Auxiliary

1. Auxiliaries should have at least ten (1 O) business meetings per year. (Sec. 210).

2. Dues should be paid on at least ten (10) members on or before February 1 of the current year. (Sec. 207)

 3. Up to date with submission of quarterly audits by Trustees. (Sec. 814)

 4. Officers elected, installed and reported to National Headquarters no later than June 30.

 5. The offices of President and Treasurer MUST be bonded by August 31.

Good News – Our monthly virtual training sessions will begin again in September.  I am planning two sessions, both will be on the second Tuesday of each month, one at 4:00 p.m. and one at 8:00 p.m.  Mark your calendars for Tuesday, September 9th. Our first topic will be Member Resources.  The training will include accessing Malta and how to utilize the resources found there.
