Hi Brothers and Sisters,

The guard duties at the Auxiliary and District levels are a bit different than at the Department level. At the Auxiliary and District level the Guard lets the President know if there are any guests at the door waiting to come in, that no one enters during the memorial service and makes sure no one enters the room during the opening ceremonies and the election of any one officer. At Department level, because the Conductor is making sure that the room is set up properly and doing other floor work, it is the duty of the guard to be at the door and check dues cards and or convention credentials and announce any visitors.

Remember that your convention credentials don’t work at the Sunday morning Council of Administration to enter the room.  You must use your membership card, or the guard will not be able to let you in, unless your treasurer can vouch for your membership.  If that happens, the President will ask if all are intitled to remain, you stand, and the treasurer will or not vouch for you.

If you have any questions, please contact me and I will get you the answer as soon as I can.  Any question is a good way to get ideas to mentor members.

Have a great month and hope to see many of you at the National President’s visit next month in Halfway.
