NOVEMBER

Well, it is getting closer and closer to the holidays, and I hope that you are all working the programs and helping our veterans.  We have an audit that is due at the end of this month and I have heard from a couple of auxiliaries that are going to be late when they are getting it to me.  I also have some auxiliaries that haven’t gotten the last audit in, its very important that these audits get into me, you can be put on suspension if you get to far behind on your audits.  When I get caught up a little bit I will be sending messages to some of the auxiliaries that are behind to let them know that they need to get their audits in. Please get them sent in or let me know if there is a reason that it isn’t ready.  This also applies to districts.  I know that we recently had some district meetings, and I only got 2 districts audit report, so please get them sent to me soon.

 

As you know there are two areas that each auxiliary needs to give money to every year.  We always must give money to the hospitals and to the National Home Health and Happiness. You need to give $2.00/member for the Hospital and that is for every member that you had in your auxiliary on June 30, 2024.  Even though you have lost some members they all need to be paid for last year.  I have gotten very few auxiliaries that have paid this money so far so please talk about it at your next meeting or if you have it in your standing rules that can be paid for without a meeting. So please, both programs need the money.

 

Treasurers, I hate to mention it again, but please check your applications carefully before sending them out.  It was even mentioned several times at the Western Conference that it was the Treasurers job to check the applications before sending on to the Department Treasurer. When you are sending in a credit card application, make sure that the investing committee have signed the application. I can’t even start the process of putting someone into the auxiliary without their birthdate on the form.  The last application I got in the mail didn’t have the birthdate of the applicant and I called her myself to get the information because it was faster, so please take a little time before you send the application to me.  Hope you all have a great Thanksgiving and hope to see you soon.
