Welcome to the MOC Auxiliary

April 2021

Auxiliary Members,

As we Spring into April we have so much to be grateful for.

In April 1961, The Supreme Military Order of the Cootie Auxiliary was born.  HAPPY 60th BIRTHDAY to our organization.

Springtime is upon us, time for sunny days and flowers blooming which brings pollen everywhere.  It's God's way of sprinkling color and cheer to our souls after a dismal winter.

With the Covid-19 Pandemic still lingering around, I hope many of you have been able to get the vaccination shots.  Most states are starting to ease up and allow face-to-face small group gatherings/meetings.  Some Grands and Districts are still unable to have face-to-face meetings.  You may conduct a meeting via video, Zoom, Google, teleconference etc... provided a quorum with the President, Treasurer, Secretary and 2 other officers or members are present.  Please reach out to me if you're unable to follow these guidelines.  Continue to follow the advertised procedures dealing with Covid-19.  Take care of your family and be vigilant to others whose health may be already compromised.
Auxiliary Presidents, by now you should have elected and install your newly elected officers and appointed chairman, CONGRATULATIONS to ALL.  Read your by-laws carefully and when in doubt ask your Grand or Supreme officers for guidance.  Remember that the new Auxiliary officers do not take office until after Grand Convention.

We are moving towards Grand/District Convention time and then on to Supreme Convention. Grands please assign a page to your Supreme Representative as she/he does not know your area or what your plans are for meetings.  Grand/District (5, 9, & 13) Presidents, it's time to get your Secretary and Treasurer books ready for audits and inspections.  Dot your I's cross your T's, make sure your Treasurers have their EIN and have filed their 990 along with the current audits, bank statements for the last 3 months, CD statement, savings account etc.  Treasurers be sure the representative assigned to your convention signs your account book, check book and bank statements.  Secretaries be prepared to show your meeting minutes along with copies of the audits in your books and be sure the Representative signs your book.  Presidents, if you have any questions please ask your Rep.  No questions should go unanswered or please call me.

Hospital Chairman, please get your Auxiliaries to report.  Don't let them miss an opportunity to report all the good work.

Information on the 2021 Supreme Convention and hotel is posted.  Check the website under "events".

I thank you for all your support and for all the great volunteering that you were able to do. I know the year is not done yet.  So, let's keep it going by Keep 'em Smilin' in Beds of White while Working Hand-n-Hand with Our Veterans.

Those who are ill I pray for a full speedy recovery.  To those who have lost loved ones I extend my deepest sympathy and prayers.

HAPPY EASTER

Loyally,
Jennifer Winn
Supreme President
