March 2024 Dispatch
Dear Brothers, and Sisters,
Here are some Reminders for March:
Membership - Congratulations to all Auxiliaries in the Mighty First on helping our District to achieve 101.69% in Membership as of March 1. There is still plenty of time to continue retaining and recruiting members to help keep our numbers growing. Let’s try to win that Medallion!
Save the Dates-
· My Homecoming will be on Saturday April 20th, this will be a joint celebration with District 1 Commander Alexis. It will be held at the Lakeside Post from 4 till 10. Flyers have been sent to ALL Auxiliaries- everyone is invited to attend!
· ALL Auxiliaries will be receiving their Delegate package from the Department treasurer sometime in March. The 2024 District Delegate List should be completed and sent to our to the District 1 Secretary Evie Holland.
· The District Convention will be held on Sunday May 5 at VFW Post 5867 Lakeside. All District Officer positions are open for nominations and elections, It is suggested that all nominees have the endorsement of their Auxiliary. Letters of endorsement may be read on the floor.
· Circle of Excellence Award for Auxiliary Presidents - Circle of Excellence qualification states that Auxiliaries need to report on a minimum of 4 programs: Veterans and Family Support, Americanism, Hospital, and one other program of choice. Circle of Excellence Applications are due by April 30 , send to Department Jr Vice Kathie Okolski- see pg 22 in the Dept. Program Book
· March 31- All Program reporting ends for award consideration on this date. But…. Reporting on all programs is imperative as all of our volunteer hours, mileage, and donations help to give strength to our organization’s voice, when we push for non-partisan legislation in Washington D.C. to benefit our veterans and their families. So, please send in your reports for ALL Programs!
Keep up the good work that your Auxiliaries are doing! Let’s strive to be the Best we can be!
Loyal in Service to our Veterans,
Diana
Our programs support our service members while they are on the front line, as they are being discharged and long after they return. Your tax-deductible donation will be immediately directed to the VFW programs where your support is most urgently needed.
