April 2024

Dear Auxiliary Members,

It is that time of the year again. Time flies when you are having fun. We have made it through the winter, Spring has arrived with Spring flowers blooming everywhere. Spring is the time of plans and projects- Leo Tolstove." And April brings the April showers.

It is Grand Convention time. General Orders # 6 has information on Grand Conventions and has been sent out. This year has been busy. I have visited some of the Auxiliaries not in a Grand, and now it is time to visit Grands. I attended the National Home Board Meeting. That was informative and fun. There are some great members on that board and they are doing some wonderful things for our National Home. Here are a few reminders:

Chairmen Reports: All chairmen, please get your Auxiliaries to report. Do not let them miss an opportunity to report their good work.

Year-End Reports: Year-end reports are coming due also. Grand Presidents and Presidents to Auxiliaries not in a Grand, please remember to send in your President End of the Year report with a resume to the Supreme President as soon as possible. Auxiliary Presidents, please remember to send in your President End of the Year report with a resume to your Grand President as soon as possible.

Grand and Auxiliaries not in a Grand Chairmen: Please send in your Year End Reports to Supreme Chairmen as soon as possible. Check with your Grand or Supreme Chairmen for the due dates. All year end reports are due to Supreme Chairmen by May 15, 2024.

Scholarships: Applications for the Annual Medical Field Scholarships are due to the Grand Scholarship Chairman soon. If someone is applying through an Auxiliary not in a Grand, please send to the Supreme Scholarship Committee by May 15th.

President of the Year: Judging for Outstanding President of the Year should be done using a point system. Presidents will be judged frromthe Year-End Report Form and a RESUME MUST be attached to the Report. The point system for judging of Auxiliary Presidents on all levels is in the Supreme President’s Book. Grand Presidents and Auxiliary not in a Grand Presidents - please submit your President of the Year report to Supreme President by June 1, 2024.

Membership:   Membership is very important, no matter what time of the year. We need members. We need to remember that our members come from the VFW Auxiliary. The VFW Auxiliary currently has 470,000+ members from which we can recruit. Invite these members to join us. Remember, we are all in this together. So, let us go to work and increase this organization by Putting our Boots on the Ground for our Veterans in Beds of White.

Grand Hospital Chairmen and Presidents: Please get your Auxiliaries to report. We know they are out there working hard. Don’t let them miss an opportunity to report their good work.

Chaplains: Please send in all deceased members to Supreme Chaplain Dawn Van Tassell by May 1, 2024, for the Supreme MOCA Memorial book.

Delegate Credentials: Delegate Credentials form and the Supreme Convention Registration form were emailed to all Auxiliaries. These are also on the lotcs.org web site. Go to the MOCA page.

Supreme Convention:   The 63rd Supreme Convention is right around the corner in Louisville, KY. I know we are going to have fun. Information is on the lotcs.org website under “events”.

To those who are ill, our best wishes for a speedy recovery. To those who have lost loved ones, we extend our sympathy and prayers.

Hope to see you at Supreme Convention in Louisville.

Loyally,

Billie Cassidy
