MARCH
Greetings Brothers and Sisters,
Welcome to March. With Spring in the
air, temperatures at a balmy 60 degrees, I am sitting here waiting for the
other winter boot to drop. Yes, it seems too good to be true and I am bracing
for another round of winter weather before Spring truly arrives.
No matter what the weather decides to
do, March 31st marks the end of the Auxiliary program year. The
program chairmen of your Auxiliaries should receive their respective year-end
reports to fill out for the Department chairmen. Please fill these out and
return them to the Department chairmen NO LATER THAN APRIL 5TH.
As we roll through March, please start
thinking about elections coming up in April. It is time to start considering
whether running for or holding an Auxiliary office is right for you. We really
need people to step up and take an active role in our Auxiliaries. Please reach
out to any officer with questions that you may have about what they do. Being
an officer is a lot of fun and gives you a chance to have a more hands-on
opportunity within your organization. It can give you a chance to help guide
your Auxiliary in the coming year.
On March 18th, online
registration begins for the National Convention taking place in Columbus, Ohio
August 9th- 14th. Early bird registration is only $25.
Look online on the National website under MALTA to register. Going to National
Convention is not only fun but I have learned so much in the past. If you can
go, I highly recommend you do so.
Our Department Convention will be held
in Pendleton, Oregon on June 18th- 22nd. Please think of
attending as it is so exciting, and it is so great to seeing all of our Sisters
and Brothers from around the state. You can find information about Convention
on the Department Auxiliary website at, www.vfwauxor.org or the Department Post
site at, www.vfwor.org.
Looking forward to seeing you all soon.
