Tweeting Snowflakes and Love for our Veterans, Military and their families
September 2022
I know our Program year has already started. I would like to wish everyone a wonderful 2022-2023 membership year I hope that every President and Treasurer's bonds for all the Auxiliaries and Districts have been paid by August 31, 2022 for the 2022-2023 year.
September is National Suicide Prevention Month. Please remember the suicide rate four our veterans are still very high in the Country. Always remember our veterans who are in veterans home. Some of them have no one who come to visit. Get your Hospital Cheer and Hospital Quota in to the Department Treasurer as soon as possible so the Hospital Reps can get their money to run the parties in December for the holidays.
Please remember if you are an Auxiliary or District President and are going into the contest, please read all the information. There has been many changes to these contests. The chairperson's have worked very hard to make it easier for people to enter. One of the biggest change is there is NO BOOK at the end, but you still need to follow the outline. There is a copy of the All-American Auxiliary President's and Outstanding District President's Contest within this mailing.
I look forward to meeting as many you as possible as I visit the Districts and non-District Auxiliaries this year. I have asked the Department Officers not to be sitting with each other at the official visit are all at one table. I know this has been done in the past; however the officers ar here because of each and every one of our members. Just because we have the titles of Department President, Sr. Vice President, Jr. Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, Chaplain, Conductress, Guard or Chief of Staff we are all still members. Do not feel that just because we have a title you cannot come up and talk to us. We want to hear from our members, We want to hear concerns, questions, and comments. The organization is made up of its members and we need to hear from those members to help our organization move forward. So please do not be afraid to come up and talk to any of the officers or even me.
Always remember we all are just a phone call or e-mail away. FYI my e-mail is wrong in the directory. Please see the below for correction. If you have called someone or e-mailed them and do not hear back please let me know. I will try and find out or get the answer for anyone. Just remember most of us are working a full-time so it might take us some time to get back in touch with someone to even a friendly reminder would work also, since may of us have a lot going on and cannot remember everything. Until next time, keep up the good work while "Tweeting snowflakes and love for our veterans, military and their families."
