APRIL 2026
Thank you all for paying your
hospital obligation for this year. That money will go into a fund and pay the
money to give to the hospital volunteers for next year. The money will go into
each hospital’s fund so that they can buy the things that the residents need. I
have looked at the accounts for all the hospitals and homes, and the
representatives and volunteers have done a great job with the expenses. Many of
the places have enough money so that if the hospital or home needs a large
item, they have the money to do it, all they need to do is ask. I know that The
Dalles hadn’t spent a lot of money during the year so at Christmas time they
bought each of the residents a Christmas present which I think was a great
thing.
I am watching the year end
reports come in, they are very slow, but you have a couple more weeks to get
them in but remember I have to get my data compiled and sent into department
also. So please let your members get together and get your reports done. I use
them to go over what you have already sent to me and it’s great for the
auxiliaries that don’t do monthly reports. I would love to get more reports
this way.
Remember that anything that you
do for the hospitals or nursing homes after March 31st, 2026, needs
to be submitted to the new hospital chairman. If you send in a report before
the rosters, come out, you can send the report to me, and I will get it to the
appropriate chairman.
I am very proud of all the
reports that I have gotten through the year for this program. It is really
showing that many of our auxiliaries are out there taking care of our veterans
and hospitalized members. Sending birthday cards and Christmas gifts and just thinking
of you cards means so much to the people that are hospitalized and in homes. Keep
up the good work.
I finally was able to sit down and do an Amazon want list order for White City and get it delivered. I ordered t-shirts, underwear, spiral notebooks, shaving cream and other personal hygiene items. I will be making another order for them in a few months when I get a new list and maybe some new things will be on there. We still have money that has been in the account that is dedicated to that hospital, so it needs to be spent there. I am very glad to have been able to get this set up and help more of our veterans.
