Greetings Producers, Actors and Stars,
Camera: Where did this year go? To know that this will be the last Colorado Veteran I write as Membership Chairman, is something I will miss. This has been a fun year for me, and I want to tell you that you all Rocked with membership!
You reached the goal of March 31st, of having Department of Colorado Auxiliary at past 98%, but actually you had this done by March 15th. Way to go!!
As of today April 1st, Department Auxiliary is at 99.39% and need 36 members, to have Department at 100%. You all are so close as I see in Malta there are so many Auxiliaries that need 1, 2, even 10 members, to be 100%. I have so much faith in you to get to this goal because you have been working so hard!
We have 30 Auxiliaries at 100% and 7 District at 100%. This is only April 1st, so I know by end of April, we will be so much closer to the goal, or even hitting the goal.
Lights: Let you shine, as you are so close to being there. Remember: You have the deadline of June 30th for everyone to pay their membership dues but keep pushing them. Continue to work on your members who have not paid their dues or try and retain old members who may have not paid their dues for some reason. Some may need help, some may have forgotten, some may not want to rejoin, but speak with them all and see what you as an Auxiliary can do to get them paid and keep them in your Auxiliary. Don’t stop now; you continue to do everything you can possibly do to get your Auxiliary to 100% .
At our last Council of Administration at Post 1, we had the contest of any Auxiliary that reached 100% by March 13th. Our National Representative was our National Chaplain Donna Mills, who graciously picked the 4 Auxiliary winners. Congratulations to:
- Auxiliary 859 - Two-Mile High
- Auxiliary 5843 - Meeker
- Auxiliary 4265 – Samuel Havenga Jr. - Craig
- Auxiliary 9221 – Grand Mesa - Cedaredge
Action: Be yourself, take action on helping your Auxiliary. Remember we are all a team, and we have “The True Grit” to do what we know needs to be done.
I thank you all for your dedication in everything you do and for helping our veterans. See you at the State Convention in June.
With Loyalty,
