Dear Sisters

WOW, what a way to end the year at the State Convention. A big THANK YOU goes to all the Chairpersons that did such a great and remarkable job on their program this last year. Many thanks to all of you. We are now the largest Auxiliary in the state of Arizona with a

membership of 602 and we are still getting a lot of new members. Many thanks go to the volunteers who work in the kitchen, cut & sort coupons, and do all the little things that need to be done to keep everything going. A special

thanks to those, whom we do not know, that cut & sort coupons in their homes. Please let us know who you are.

Come join us cut coupons on every other Wednesday at 1:00 pm in the Post. First day inJuly is the 14th.

If you would like to help at the Ice Cream Social or the Voters Registration, please let me know. We need all the help we can get as this is going to be a very busy year.

God Bless

Theresa Grupe, Ladies Auxiliary President

Ladies Auxiliary Membership

We are now accepting Membership dues for the year 2010. We would greatly appreciate if you would send your 2010 membership dues now to help us achieve 100% as soon as possible. Our VFW Ladies Auxiliary 7968 dues are $16.00 with $2.00 of your dues going to Cancer Aid & Research and enables you to apply for a Cancer Grant. Three to Five hundred dollars for a Cancer Grant may seem modest but it is greatly appreciated by many Sisters fighting Cancer. If you have been a member for one year diagnosed with Cancer please call or pick up a form, from Theresa.

Starting in July we will be having Initiation every month for new Members. If you have not been initiated, please feel free to come to the meeting in July or any month after that.

In today's environment, we struggle to get new and young members. What better way to begin than recruiting Junior Girls ages 5 through 16. If you have a daughter or granddaughter, stepdaughter in that age group that are interested please let us know. Contact Sue or Theresa 480-671-8239
