STATE PRESIDENT'S NEWSLETTER

 SEPTEMBER 2010~ ISSUE II   

  Dear Sisters:

          Hope everyone enjoyed OTI.  Thank you Dean Helen for an outstanding weekend.  I would like to say thank you to the sisters for the great decorating done at OTI.

          Are you getting ready for an information packed Fall Conference?  Jeanne Cusson has done an outstanding job preparing for all of us.  I'm sure that Jeanne and her team will have everything set when we get to Binghamton.

           My chairman have load of good information for you to pick up and take back to your Auxiliary.  Please remember to bring any transmittals.  You will be able to turn them in at the Conference.  Please look in the guide book for any other requests for all the programs.

          Also at Fall Conference the first cancer ticket drawing will take place.  Have you turned in your money and tickets?  Remember to bring then if you have not.  I will try to have the meeting done by lunch so that we may all be able to go shopping after lunch. 

          There have been several questions about the reporting for the auxiliaries.    They are to report to the Department Chairmen.    The only change is for the District and County Presidents.   I am asking each of them to report on how their Program Chairmen promote after each of their District and County meetings.   Please include the name of your chairman to each program.

           I am enjoying my visits.  I have made new friends all over New York and have had a chance to visit with them all.  The privilege of being able to represent the Department of New York as your President is thrilling.  I wish to say THANK YOU to every Auxiliary, County Council and District for all of the courtesies extended to me and for making me feel so welcome.

          Please remember to "Light Fires for Our Veterans on the Wings of Dragons" by helping our Veterans and their families throughout the year so we will be "United by Love for Our Veterans and Country."

 Sharlene

Department President
