Welcome to the MOC Auxiliary

July 2019

The time has come that I am writing my last President’s message.  It seems like just yesterday I was elected and installed as Supreme President.  I am so deeply honored to have served as Supreme President for the 2018-2019 year.

The Auxiliary to The Military Order of the Cootie is a shining example of the love and dedication we have for our Veterans that need us the most.  Because of our wonderful, caring members we have touched so many lives.  Each of you should be so very proud of the fact that our Veterans in the hospitals and nursing homes are less lonely because we are there to make them smile & laugh.  And our families at the VFW National Home have a safe, loving place to call home.

I have so many wonderful memories of this year, but the biggest one is getting to meet and spend time with our MOCA members.  Thank You everyone for the friendship and hospitality extended to me this year in my travels.

I want to also say a Huge Thank You to the Supreme MOC for their support this year.  I wish for the Supreme MOC a “Lousy Convention!”
I know I was a “pest” Gary and Delpha, but you always were willing to answer any question I had about supplies and Convention.  I also want to say thank you  to Dale Iannello for always keeping me on track as to when I needed to get articles and General Orders to him.  He is a behind the scenes guy we all need to thank.  Keep the cartoons coming.

1. Now for Convention information: There is a hospital visit planned at the Supreme Convention.  We are to meet in the hotel lobby at 12:00 on Wednesday July 24th.  Leaving promptly at 12:30 PM. 

 2. Historian books are to be turned in on Friday July 26th in the meeting room. So please bring those history books with you.

3. Ways & Means is asking for baskets or other items to raffle.  Bring all items to the meeting room on Thursday July 25th. The Old C of A will be held on Thursday morning.

4. Supreme Program donations are to be mailed to Supreme Treasurer Penney Howard.

5. All year-end reports should be completed and mailed to the chairmen by this time.

2018-2019 Officers and Chairmen:  Auxiliary, Grand & Districts Thank You for the hard work you have done this year.  And my best wishes to all the newly elected 2019-2020 Officers and Chairmen.

To those who are ill we extend our best wishes for a speedy recovery.  To those who have lost loved ones we extend our deepest sympathies!

Loyally,

Patricia A Potter
Supreme President
2018-2019
