Ladies Auxiliary to the Veterans of Foreign Wars, Department of North Carolina
April 2015
FROM YOUR DEPARTMENT PRESIDENT
1. The Department Convention will be held June 4 – 7, 2015 at the Embassy Suites in Greensboro. To make your
reservation call 336-668-4535 and tell the receptionist you are attending the VFW Convention. The rooms are
blocked for us and if you don’t mention the VFW you may likely be told the hotel is sold out.
2. At your April meeting you will elect new officers. Send your installation request immediately to the Department
Secretary, Anna Holm, 3616 Atlantic Ave, Raleigh, NC 27604.
3. At your April meeting, you will also elect your delegates and alternates for the District, Department and
National Conventions. You elect 1 per 10 members (and any fraction thereof) for both the District and the
Department and 1 per 50 for National. The number of delegates and alternates are based on your membership
at the time of your elections of delegates and alternates. (Some Auxiliaries elected District delegates at their
March meeting because their regular April meeting followed the scheduled District meeting.)
(Note: For District and Department, if you have for instance 51 members, you will elect 6 delegates. For
National, you will elect 2. Your President has her own vote and therefore, should not be included in with
your delegate count unless she will be the only member of your Auxiliary attending in which case she can
be elected a delegate or alternate. In that way, she would be able to vote the entire delegate strength
except her own.)
There is no fee for delegates for the District or National, however, there is a $5 fee for each delegate for the
Department and every Auxiliary is required to pay the $5 for each whether they attend the Convention or not. If
the delegate fee is not paid for any delegate, her vote cannot be cast. District delegates are mailed to your
District Secretary, Department delegates with the Auxiliary check to the Department Treasurer (who will copy
the list to the Department Secretary), and National delegates to the headquarters office at 406 W. 34the St., 10th
Fl., Kansas City, MO 64111 or entered online at the National website. Refer to Bylaws Article 111 Sections 301309 and Article VIII Section 805. (Note: In Sections 303 and 304 the Department Bylaws is used to determine the
number of delegates - noted above 1 per 10 members)
4. The votes will be cast at the Department Convention by District, therefore, you must be sure to discuss with
your delegates how your Auxiliary wishes to vote. Votes may be split within an Auxiliary. Otherwise, the
delegate will vote her choice. It should be in the Auxiliary Secretary’s minutes how the votes are to be cast.
5. For your Auxiliary to be entitled to vote, it must be in good standing and therefore, all audits must be in to
Jeanne before the Convention and there are no outstanding debts including District dues.
6. There will be a resolution presented at the Convention to lower the age eligibility for the Auxiliary to 14 (it is
currently 16). Please discuss it at your meeting and advise your delegates how to vote on this resolution. If your
Auxiliary has a resolution to be considered, it must be passed by your Auxiliary and mailed to the Department
Secretary for submission by May 15, 2015.
7. For your Auxiliary to be eligible to win a Department Award per the Department Standing rules, your Auxiliary
must be current in paid contributions.
8. Auxiliary Treasurers, please send the list of members who have acquired 5-High status by signing up 5
new/reinstated members and Department Aide-de-Camp for signing up 10 or more new/reinstated members
and National Aide-de-Camp for signing up 20 or more new/reinstated members to Jeanne Gilbert the
Department Treasurer and a copy to Joyce Preston Department Membership Chairwoman so they can be
properly recognized at the Convention. This list must be to them no later than May 1, 2015.
9. We have been having issues with the Department webmail system this year and therefore, it has become
unreliable. The Department is waiting for word from the VFW Department HQ Office to advise when their new
system is available to the Auxiliary for use to mass email Department Mail etc.

10. When you have elected new officers, please include their personal email addresses on the installation form as
they will be used until further notice. If any of your members have email and would like to receive the
Department mail, be sure to prepare a list and mail it and the installation report to Helen Carter at 321
Whithorne Dr., Garner, NC 27529.
11. All members (including Auxiliary officers) who wish to receive the Department mail in hard copy must send a
check for $30.00 to the Department Treasurer, Jeanne Gilbert. Please insure that at least one member who
attends meetings regularly will be receiving the mail.

Dear Auxiliary Sisters,
Here we are with only 2 months left until convention. It’s been a fast paced year with many challenges and
rewards for our department, led by our exceptional Department President Janice Holm.
President Janice has been busy attending to the matters of many auxiliaries throughout the state, visited many
auxiliaries and districts, visited the four VA medical centers, attended all required conferences and meetings, and have
had two new auxiliaries installed. Our “Pride Runs Deep” for all she’s accomplished for the Department.
Let’s show her how much we appreciate her extraordinary leadership this year by sending in a love gift for
President Janice. Please send your check made payable to the Ladies Auxiliary VFW Department of NC (for any amount
you would like to bestow upon her) noting in the memo line “President’s Love Gift”. Checks are to be sent to our
Department Treasurer, Jeanne Gilbert, at P.O. Box 716, Bethel, NC 28712-0716.
Thank you for all you do for our department and our veterans,
Fran Redfield, Department Senior Vice President

Dear Department Officer,
As a Department Officer, you are entitled to a vote at the 2015 Department Convention. You may or may not have more
than one eligibility as a member of the Convention. For example, you might be a Past Department President and an
appointed officer or District President. Or you might be an Auxiliary President and a Department officer. You might also
be elected as a Delegate for your Auxiliary. (See section 602 of the National Bylaws for a list of all the voting members of
the Department Convention.)
The enclosed list identifies all State officers who are entitled to vote. You may be on this list more than once. Regardless
of the number of eligible titles you have, you must choose which title you will use to register your credential at the
Convention, and your other titles cannot be used by another person, with the exception of Auxiliary Delegate.
If you are the only person from your Auxiliary who will be attending the Convention, you might want to consider
registering as a Delegate to have the full Delegate strength of your Auxiliary at your disposal, rather than the single vote
as an officer.
All members of the Department Convention must pay a $5 registration fee to the Department Treasurer to be received
no later than June 1, or bring to the Convention and pay on site in order to vote. Please use the form below, and mail
with your check made payable to the “Ladies Auxiliary VFW” to”

Veterans and Family Support – Chairman: Patty Harris

The Ladies Auxiliary to the VFW is a veterans’ service organization founded on the principle of helping veterans.
Our veterans need our help every day. The list of their needs is endless. From deployed troops to veterans in VA
hospitals and veterans in every walk of life, we need to provide assistance to them and their families.
Has everyone paid their Health and Happiness quota of $.10 per member? This money helps the VFW National Home for
Children to provide a home for veteran families and their children if needed. This home is celebrating their 90th year of
helping veterans and their families. They would appreciate donations to help with plans to remodel and update their
museum as they celebrate their many years of service to veteran families.
The “Operation Changing Lives” program will help hire, train, and keep the Service Officers up to date in their training.
Our veterans need this help to get all the benefits they are entitled to for their service to our country. Your donation
would be greatly appreciated. Since 2012, the Service Officers have recovered $3.7 billion in VA benefits for 125,000
veterans. We need this help to continue.
The clock is ticking because the end of our year is quickly approaching. Make sure all your reporting is done. If help is
needed just call. As I have traveled the state this year I have seen how had the Auxiliaries are working for our veterans.
These men bravely served our country so now let’s help them.
I want to thank each Auxiliary member for helping our veterans. Please keep up your hard work.
Sincerely,
Patty Harris

As we head into the home stretch it is District 1, 3, 4, 7, and 15 that are 100% in reporting for Americanism. Many
Districts are very close to having 100%. We can do it! District and Auxiliary Presidents take time to review your reports
and make sure all you have done this year has been reported. April 15th is when the reporting period will close so please
make sure you get your reports in prior to the deadline.
On the VFW Website I found an interesting magazine on “VFW Women at War”, click this link to read this very
enlightening article about women that have served our country in so many different ways. http://www.vfw.org/booklets/.
Upcoming Holidays (or special mentions) for the month of April:
April Fools' Day – Wednesday April 1st – Enjoy playing light hearted pranks on friends and family, likely the only day you
can get away with it.
Easter – Sunday, April 5th - celebrate the resurrection of our Lord, Jesus Christ.
Earth Day – April 22nd - Enjoy the tonic of fresh air, contact with the soil, and companionship with nature! Walk through the
woods in search of emerging wildflowers and green moss. Go outside, no matter what the weather! Use Earth Day to put
a flag pole into your yard and fly our American flag proudly.

Sisters,
It is hard to believe this Auxiliary year is coming to a close however volunteering in our Medical Facilities is ongoing.
Warm weather, pretty blooming flowers and trees welcomes spring. Many that have been confined to a Medical Center
all winter may enjoy sitting on a patio or other outdoor area talking and visiting with someone. Plan a day at your local
Medical Facility to make visits which will put smiles on many faces.
Many sacrifices have been made by our Veterans in order to preserve our freedom, we must never forget them. They
appreciate being remembered on their birthday by receiving a card or visit. They enjoy Bingo, Pizza, picnics, and holiday
parties. There are many holidays during the spring and summer months that makes planning a party so easy. We have
Easter, Loyalty Day, Mother’s Day, Armed Forces Day, Memorial Day, Flag Day, Father’s Day, and 4th. of July. Let us
show our Veterans we care and appreciate their service to our Country.
A REMINDER: Plan an event to recognize our Volunteers, they are a valuable asset.
“OUR PRIDE RUNS DEEP” as we continue to support the needs of our Veterans and others that are confined to a
Medical Facility.
Loyally With Love.

A great big “thank you” goes to each Auxiliary and individual that made donations of items to give the Veterans as they
are located into a new home. Auxiliary 6722 put 16 bags together alone. The “Fall into the Arts” raffle held by the VA
raised $895.00. Each fundraiser is bringing us closer to our goal of $30,000. Upcoming events include “Vines for
Veterans” on April 11th at Doyle’s Vineyard 8913 NC 751, Durham. There will be wine tasting, a silent auction, food
trucks and a craft fair. Wine tasting tickets are $25 in advance and $30 at the door. Then on April 24th a fish fry,
sponsored by Recreation Therapy and EMS will be held at the Durham VA Medical Center, 508 Fulton St, Durham. All of
the proceeds go towards the National Veterans Creative Arts festival.
Keep our Veterans in mind whenever you have an opportunity to participate in any event benefiting our Veterans. They
gave for us and we need to show our appreciation in giving back. Attend the bingo visits with your Auxiliary. As much as
our Veterans enjoy this, I promise you will get more out of it than they do. And donations of items such as sweat pants,
books, game books, write on/wipe off boards and pens are always needed and appreciated. Our pride runs deep in our
Veterans.
FAYETTEVILLE VA. MEDICAL CENTER
Ladies as our year is winding down, It's time to make sure you get your report is, so that your Auxiliary get credit for

Just a quick reminder about getting your reports in, so that your Auxiliary will get credit for all the hard work
they are doing, and to be eligible for awards.
You still have time for a fundraiser. Here are a few suggestions for fundraisers, bake sale, cake walk, raffle, or
777. The more money we turn into National, the more money they will give back to our President, Janice Holm. Then
she will be able to donate the money to a cancer facility of her choice for research.

Year End Wrap-Up
It is getting close to the end of the year now, but our work continues. I have heard from many members who have
taken the “Healthy Auxiliary” survey in their Auxiliary. That’s great. I hope you learned how your members feel. And if
they have suggestions, I hope you took them to heart and made slight adjustments to insure that everyone feels
welcomed and included in your activities. Some of our members have contacted me with issues that we worked on
together, and that should continue in the future. Creating healthy Auxiliaries is not a one time thing! We need to
constantly work to maintain it. It is surprising how one little mis-understanding can change how people feel.
As of March 22, only about 1/3 of Auxiliaries have reported their work in this area. The reporting system lists this under
“Chief of Staff” but it is meant for each Auxiliary to complete. So if you have not completed your Chief of Staff report
online, take the time to do it now. And if you don’t have access, contact me and I will complete what you tell me. Let
me know what you have done to promote not only the growth of your Auxiliary, but the harmony of your members.
Don’t forget to continue handing out little thank you awards and certificates to your members for doing a good job. And
even your Post members can be the ones who can contribute positively – so don’t forget them. Thank them for what
they do. Remember – a little thank you goes a long way!
I hope to see most of you at the Department Convention in June, where we can all celebrate our accomplishments.

Legislative
Veterans Can Still Benefit from Foreclosure Prevention Fund
Most of us have are aware of the growing needs for homeless veterans and the programs that may assist them in securing
housing. Contact your legislative delegation and ask them to remember our homeless vets when they roll out funding for various
programs.
Even those vets who own homes can be at risk of losing their homes due to financial stressors during or after deployment or due
to a job loss.
With military draw downs underway and more planned, North Carolina is fortunate to have an effective resource that helps those
who have served their country preserve their own homes while they make the often challenging transition back to civilian life.
The North Carolina Housing Finance Agency offers veterans special mortgage payment help through its N.C. Foreclosure
Prevention Fund while they look for work or train for a civilian career.
Making the foreclosure assistance available for veterans is particularly important in North Carolina, which is home to 10 percent
of all active-duty military personnel in the U.S. (115,000, the most per-capita of any state) and more than 772,000 veterans.
“The transition from military to civilian life can be a challenge,” said A. Robert Kucab, executive director of the N.C. Housing
Finance Agency. “It’s especially important that veterans be able to participate fully in these foreclosure prevention benefits. Our
agency is working closely with the VA and veterans groups across the state to make sure military families know that help is
available for those who need it.”
The Fund makes mortgage payments of up to $36,000 for up to 36 months while the homeowner looks for work or completes a
training program. The assistance is offered as a zero-interest deferred loan, with no payments due as long as the homeowner
lives in the home. If the owner continues to live in the home for 10 years after assistance ends, the loan is forgiven.
Created in 2010 to help North Carolina homeowners recover from job loss and other temporary hardships, the N.C. Foreclosure
Prevention Fund has already helped more than 18,000 homeowners. Funds are available to assist an additional 3,000
homeowners.
Veterans who study on the GI Bill or participate in a VA-approved vocational training program are eligible for a maximum 36
months of assistance, as long as their mortgage payments exceed 25 percent of their household income.
To qualify for assistance through the Fund, a veteran must have separated from service on or after Jan. 1, 2008, provide a DD214, have a VA-issued Certificate of Eligibility for the GI Bill and provide proof of enrollment in school or a vocational retraining
program. Homeowners do not have to be delinquent on mortgage payments to qualify.
The effort is funded by the U.S. Department of the Treasury through its Hardest Hit Fund, which was created during the
recession to assist North Carolina, 17 other states and the District of Columbia that were suffering from high unemployment,
which continues to exceed the national average in many North Carolina counties.
Veterans and civilians can apply for assistance from the Fund through more than 40 HUD-approved counseling agencies
statewide, or online at www.NCForeclosurePrevention.gov. Information is available on the website or by calling 1-888-623-8631.
The N.C. Housing Finance Agency is a self-supporting public agency that has financed nearly 221,000 affordable homes and
apartments statewide since its creation in 1973.
Thank you for all you do to assist our veterans! Please consider reporting your legislative activity! The deadline is April 15! I
will help you! Please call me!

WOW, we are 93.27% in Membership as of 19 March! We only need 510 Nuts gathered to be 100%!
Tami Elliott, our Membership Ambassador, wrote to our President Bubble Head Janice and you! (Bubble Head was
President Janice’s name in the fighting rounds at the National Convention in 2014 – remember – she was tough – she
was mean – she was the fighting membership machine for North Carolina) You only need to sign up 536 more
members to be a Champion!
(We already have 26 since she sent this to us! – Yeah! Keep up the good work)
We're in the last rounds of this prizefight and to win you need some more points on the scorecard. Just like Rocky's trainer gave him the
strategy to get more points by body punching, and more jabs, we need some specific strategy. So use this checklist, send it to your Auxiliaries,
then follow-up!!
AUXILIARIES
DEPARTMENT CHAIRMAN, PRESIDENTS, and TREASURERS,
Have they called ALL their prior members?
Have they offered to pay for those that cannot?
Have they earned the Recruiter 5 Pin?
Have they challenged every member to bring in one new member?
Are they working towards the Membership Achievement Award?
Have you called all of your Auxiliaries?
Have you earned your Recruiter 5 Pin? – Lead by example!
Is your Department Recruiter making the rounds to individual
Auxiliaries?
Are you submitting the dues promptly?
Gold medals aren’t really made of gold. They’re made of sweat, determination, and guts.
Don’t forget these goals from National!
1. National Membership Achievement Award to whoever gets 20 new or reinstated members.
2. Each Auxiliaries that reaches 100%+ by June 30, 2015 will earn $30.00, a “Knock Out Pin” and a chance for
the BIG drawing of $3000, $2000 and $1000.
Don’t forget to not only let National know you collected 5 dues of New Members – you need to let me and/or the State
Treasurer Jeanne Gilbert know so we can put you in some of our drawings. So if you have sent the 5 or 20 or both forms
to National – please send us a copy – we need to know!!!
Department Awards for April are:
Auxiliaries with 5 + Transmittals will be put into drawing for $25.00 for each Membership Area
Auxiliaries with most Transmittal will be put into drawing for $100.00 (one prize) – if two or more with same amount of
Transmittals will split the $100.00 paid to Auxiliary
Special drawing to Members who acquired the dues of 5 or more transmittals for $25.00 (one prize)
Remember the "Dues Angels" and I am hoping we have some here in North Carolina.
Thank all of you for what you do for our Veterans!

EASTERN AREA MEMBERSHIP
Hello to all my Sisters in the East. Here it is the middle of March. The end of the 2014/2015 year is approaching FAST. So
I am asking the Presidents and Treasurer of the Auxiliary to call and work together to gather those nuts. There is 4 Aux.
that only need 1 member to be 100%. I want to Congratulate Aux 6060 in Elizabeth City for becoming 101.60% this
month(they were 98.93 at the end of Feb.). GREAT JOB! East is now at 96.53%. Only need 90 more to make the East
100%. WE CAN DO IT!!! We got to show President Janice that the EAST IS STILL THE BEST. Let all of us sisters help each
other and make North Carolina the best in the UNITED STATES and President Janice the BEST State President. So let’s get
out there and gather all the nuts. Let’s show the Mother Squirrel, Joyce Preston, that the EAST IS THE BEST!
Remember that your State membership Chairperson, Joyce Preston and I, your Eastern Membership chairperson are
here to help. All you need to do is call.
May GOD BLESS AMERICA and May GOD BLESS ALL VETERANS

WESTERN AREA MEMBERSHIP
Janice Holm’s theme for this year is, “Pride Runs Deep”
The Department needs 510 to be 100%
Central is First
Eastern is Second
Western is Third by less than 10 percentage points.
We have 3 months to do our best this year.
There are 2,547 members in the Western Region according to the membership standings.
There are 6 Districts in the Western Area.
There are 45 Auxiliaries in the Western Area.
Those are a lot of numbers. Here are the numbers that matter.
Overall membership numbers help influence Congress and ensure that our military veterans will continue to
receive the benefits they have been promised and that they have earned. Of course, the most important
number to consider is the number of our military heroes, here at home and abroad, that we can help. This
number is a direct result of our individual and collective efforts. It is a matter of pride, and here in North
Carolina “Pride Runs Deep”. Let’s rededicate our efforts to deliver a 100% membership to Janice and redouble
our commitment to our vets.
