AUXILIARY MEETING APRIL 13TH, 2021
Before we started our auxiliary meeting we were invited to the Post meeting to hear Katherine Shalyaev read her speech. She was our first place winner in voice of Democracy and tied third place in District 4.
After the speech, we had a roundtable meeting that was opened according to ritual and roll call of officers was taken at 7:10pm. Minutes of the previous meeting will stand approved as read.
General Orders: and chair men reports were read.
Unfinished Business: We had a discussion on our joint 75th Anniversary luncheon and what we still needed to get ready. We have found a volunteer to fill our Jr. Vice President position and we will have our installation of officers at our next meeting in May. We had collected jars of peanut butter and jelly to help a ladies group in Harford, called "Support The Troops." They will ship these items to our veterans stationed overseas. We also signed some thank you cards to go with the jars of food. We decided to send letters out to our members soon to ask for suggestions or ideas on how we can continue to serve our veterans and get more members to attend our meetings.
New Business: Motion made by Suzanne Stephens, and second by several to donate $25.00 to Unmet Needs Hunger program. Motion made by Diane Hogan, seconded by Jean Sonnenberg to donate $25.00 to the VFW National Home for Children. We received a Thank You letter from Fisher House for this year's donation. Since we haven't been able to do any hospital work this year at the VA we decided to take some of the auxiliary hospital fund and donate cookies to the Fisher House.
Good of the Order: We remembered our National Home. The meeting was adjourned according to the ritual at 8:00pm. The next auxiliary meeting is May 11th, 2021.
