March 2024 Dispatch
Hello Brothers, Sisters ,
It’s hard to believe that April is already here and another reporting year is coming to a close! Thanks to all the Auxiliaries and Chairman for doing an exceptional job.
As the year is coming to a close, April is time to go over end-of-year reporting, applications for Circle of Excellence and All State Auxiliaries, quarterly audits, and Auxiliary Elections. We are missing a few reports to be at a 100% in reporting. All reports need to be submitted by April 15.
Some important due dates are as follows:
· 2023-2024 Program Reports: April 15
· All State Applications: April 15
· Circle of Excellence Applications: April 30
· Jan-Mar Quarterly (Q3) Audit: Completed by April 30 and sent to Department by May 31
As of April 1 2024, District 1 has 20 Auxiliaries that are 100% or higher in membership. Great job! Our current membership is 102,09%, Our last Membership meeting for the year will be April 28, 5:30, at Auxiliary 2111.
Note: Our next District Meeting will be held: Sunday May 5, 2024 8:00 a.m. Memorial Service ; 9:00 a.m. Regular Business Meeting , VFW Post 5867 – Carter Smith, Lakeside. We will be having nominations/elections for District 1 officers under ‘new business’ and I ask for as many Presidents and their teams to be in attendance.
The Memorial Service begins at 8am. District 1 Chaplain Mary will have the memorial books ready for the service, so please be prompt and a little early for the 8am start time so we can proceed without delay. . We also are asking those Auxiliaries who were contacted recently to have all their donations, dues, delegates fees (due by 3/30 to District 1 Secretary Evie), audits and other financial obligations accounted for.
The joint Homecoming Reception will be held Saturday April 20, Lakeside Post, 4pm. All are welcome to attend! We are asking for you to RSVP and there will be a $5.00 donation- you may pay at the door.
