APRIL

TREASURERS NOTES

Well, I hope things are going well and getting ready for your district meetings and getting ready for your election of new officers. It is a very important to fill all your positions and get all your officers installed. Please make sure that you fill out your installation report and get the information in MALTA. Also make sure you get your delegates into Cathy Lindsay and your delegate fees into me with the check made out to Department of OR VFWA.

Please, I have a few auxiliaries that haven’t gotten in their December 31, 2025, audit to me. Please get it in as soon as possible as you have another one that is due the end of April. The March audit must be early so that it is in before convention. I realize sometimes it is hard to get everyone together to  get your audit completed but this is a very important aspect of our jobs so please get your audits into me soon.

If you have any applications that you have completed, please get them in so that we can add them to our membership this year. I have been getting a lot of applications that have been filled out and not sent for a few months. This is very bad especially when the member is paying with a credit card because if the application was filled out a few months ago, National will not accept applications that are older due to the card getting compromised. So please get them in as quickly as possible.

Please discuss at your next meeting about sending some money for our special projects or even our scholarship programs. We haven’t sent very much money in for the continuing education programs for the National President’s project or the project for our Department President. Only a few auxiliaries have given money for the Guitars for Vets, and it is a very worthwhile program.

Please also don’t forget that we need money for the Run2Remember and our Scholarships. We need money for the Patriotic Art program to pay the students this year. I know that have talked to you about this money before, but we really need some help to get money for these programs. If you  decide to send in some more, please send the checks to Department of OR VFWA and I will get it sent to the appropriate areas.

Hope to see many of you at district meetings, convention and the academies that will be coming up. I appreciate all of you and thank you for your continued support. If you have any questions, please call or email me and I will get back to you as soon as I am able.
