Things to remember for Extension

If you hear of a Post that would like to have an Auxiliary, please contact the Department Chief of Staff.
You may advise them that for a Post to have an auxiliary they must have the approval of 2/3 vote at a stated meeting. Then the Department President will appoint a dependable auxiliary member to be the organizer of the new auxiliary. To send the charter application in you must have (15) names of eligible members, $100.00, and the signature of the Dept. President and Commander of the Post.

To institute it takes (15) new or reinstated paid members. There must be (10) members present to institute the new auxiliary.

If you are an auxiliary having problems and your District Chief of Staff is not able to help you, please contact the Dept. Chief of Staff and they will communicate with our Department President and get you some help.

An auxiliary cannot surrender their charter if they have (10) members that want to continue to be an auxiliary; nor unless a proposal to surrender the Charter shall have been made at a regular meeting of the Auxiliary at least one (1) month before the time of action. Notice needs to be in writing to every member of the Auxiliary. A copy of the notice needs to be mailed on the same date to the District and Department President and to all the Commanders at every level. The National President, upon recommendation of the Department President will declare the Auxiliary defunct.

If an Auxiliary has voted to disband, then the Auxiliary may be reactivated within one (1) year without submitting a Charter application provided Department and National dues are paid on minimum of ten (10) members.

I hope every Auxiliary member will try to go to their District meetings. They are a school of instruction and you will learn interesting facts about our programs. You will also meet new auxiliary members and maybe get some new ideas to raise money for the programs that you support.
