Poppies are all around us!

May is the month that we are most seen out and about in our communities as our poppy distribution tables pop up in parking lots, store fronts, parade routes and every place in between. We visit our cemeteries and place our flags and honor our departed Veterans. We remember their sacrifices made for our freedom. Take time this month to truly reflect and remember that they are the reason many of us joined this organization to honor them, assist those veterans with us and those now serving in the military and all their families.

National President Trish Ward came to Connecticut last month and it was a wonderful visit. During her training session, she was straight forward and honest in her assessment of what needs to be done to help units which will ultimately keep our organization strong and growing nationwide. I thank the escort team, Mary and Rita, and everyone who was involved on the Friday and Saturday events that made her visit successful. You ladies rock with all the hard work you did!!

Thank you to our Judy and our National Security Program team for a great Awareness luncheon. Interesting speakers and I became aware of more ways we as Units can reach out and help our military families with resources available to them and new ways to donate to their events.

All Units I hope you sent into the office your consolidated report on all the great work you have done on our programs over the past year. This report is so important to our Department and to National. You have until May 5 th , so if you have not yet, please get it in. We want to be able to hand out awards at Department Convention.

Are you ready for our Past President Parley lunch that is coming up, May10th, and a visit from our Eastern Division National Vice President Lauren Lloyd? Please consider a donation and sending it in to the office if you cannot attend, on behalf of someone you hold close to your heart, knowing that donation will help provide a scholarship to a worthy student.
​
One month till Laurel Girls State deadline in June, let’s get those applications in. This is a great opportunity for those young ladies to have a once in a lifetime experience. They won’t know about it unless we get out there and promote it.

Thanking you all for everything you do but especially during this month of May!
Together we are One Team – One Mission!​

Started off the year by attending the NEC instructions meeting given by Chris Dickie, parliamentarian and did learn a few new things. The Post-Convention NEC meeting followed.

I did turn in a report to the Secretary and the Department Office along with the National Budget and the appointments made by National President Trish Ward, that were both passed.

Copies of the Standing Rules that were presented and passed are in the PIC packets for your information. As Constitution & Bylaws Chair, I also printed out the amendments that were passed at the National Convention; again for your information.  Please email or call me if you have any questions I might be able to help you with.

Thank you,

We did it! Thank you to everyone who helped get that membership in to help us reach our goal of 85%!

It was a team effort and hope you don’t stop yet! Our next goal is to reach 95% by May 23, 2025. I know we can do it.
​
Do not forget to carry those membership applications with you!

Congratulations to the Second District for signing up the most new members this year. They signed up 45 new members this year so far.

To date we have 169 new members in the Department of Connecticut.

Keep that membership coming in!
