JANUARY

Well, we have made it to the beginning of another year.  I hope that you all had a great holiday spent with family and friends.  We are doing very well with membership this year, every time I look at our numbers they have gone down again and so we are getting our annual membership into National. Thank you very much for working on this and getting our members paid for.  At this time all the officers that are annual members have been paid so that will help with more points for the Circle for next year.

 

At this time our membership is at 95.39% for the year.  We need 207 members to be 100% so please continue to get your dues in and get new members in also.  Right now, we have 17 auxiliaries that are already 100% or more for the department.  Thank you all for getting your dues before the end of the year.  We have several auxiliaries that only need one or two members to be 100% right now.  Please discuss this with your members at your next meeting.  Remember they are now members not in good standing and they shouldn’t be coming to meetings or functions in your auxiliary.  Also, their cancer grant won’t be any good until they renew, and, in a year, they can get a grant.

 

Please let me know in an email or at Mid-Winter if you used my suggestion for getting new members by sending out applications to people that you know are eligible with their Christmas Cards.  That was a program thought up by the National Membership Ambassador and we would like to know if the program worked.

 

Please anyone that has people that were dues angels for your auxiliary this year, please send the names and the names of the members that they paid for to me so that I can get the paperwork done before Mid-Winter.  So far, I have only got a few members that have let me know and one Auxiliary that has sent the names to me.  I would like to have those names before I get to Mid-Winter.

 

Once the winter is over, please let us know if you are going to be having any membership drives in your area.  We would be very happy to send someone in line to come and help you. Make sure that you have people in your auxiliary lined up to be at the drive with us and would love to be able to help with that. 

 

Please make sure that the application is FULLY filled out before you send it to the treasurer so we can get them processed quickly.  Every time that we have to look up an auxiliary number or call someone to find out their birthdate just takes a little longer to process.
