SEPTEMBER

Well,

 

The Academies are over for another year, I hope that each member that attended learned a little bit from our program.  I usually learn something every time that I get together with the men and women of this organization. Now we are going on to District meetings and working our programs. I hope to see you along my travels this year.  I get to go to places that I haven’t got to go a lot so this should be fun. Hope to see you somewhere in my travels.

 

Please, since the last academy I have only got a few auxiliaries audit which are late.  If I don’t get them in the next few days, I will be sending out postcards to the auxiliary President as these audits are very late.  I will be sending these out soon so please check on the status of your audit.

 

It is time to start paying your obligations to the department. Every year the auxiliary sends $2.00/member for the needs of the hospital and if your auxiliary pays it they also pay Cancer $2.00/member to be sent to National for Cancer Aid for grants. Also, all auxiliaries need to send a donation that goes to the National Home for Health and Happiness.  Any other program that your auxiliary feels the need to send money to for the year this should be part of the time that you do that. If you want to give some money to the Service Officer or even some of the Scholarships this is a very good time to do this. 

 

Both the National President and the Department President have Special Project that they are doing alone or with their Commander in Chief or Department Commander.  These are all described in the Department website or National website.  If you want to give any donations to any of these projects, please send your checks through the department so that we can get credit for all the programs that we work. I have already received a large check from an auxiliary for Brenda’s Diaper program.  Make out the checks to the Department of OR VFWA and earmark it for whatever program that you want and send them to me and I will get them to the appropriate place.  Keep up the good work and see you next month.
