Sisters &
Brothers,
Happy November!
This month as we come together for Thanksgiving with our family and our extended VFW family, please pray for the communities affected by the flooding in New Mexico and the Eastern States.
At the Department Council of Administration on September 14, 2024 Michelle Dennison was nominated, elected, and installed as our Department of New Mexico Jr. Vice President. Congratulations Michelle!
Since Sister Michelle resigned her position as Department Chaplain, therefore we now have an opening for Department Chaplain and other any position that is open at that time. For instance, if one of the Line Officer (Conductor and or Guard) is nominated and elected their position would be available. As per the Bylaws on P. 67, Section 809A, bullet 4, An election shall be held at the next regular meeting, which will be at the Department Midwinter meeting on January 18, to be held in Albuquerque, NM.
Please send a letter of intent to both Department President Renee King and Department Secretary Jeanette D. Garcia.
October 10, 2024 was the deadline to submit your nomination for Volunteer of the Quarter. This member is someone you want to recognize for their outstanding contribute to the VFW & Its Auxiliary. Unfortunately, I did not receive an entry therefore no one will be rewarded the 1st Quarter Volunteer certificate and a $50.00 gift card. I know we have awesome members who volunteer selflessly, giving their time and money to our great organization. I see all the great events on social media of all the wonderful things we are doing for Veterans and their families along with their community. Next quarter please nominate a member, the deadline to submit your entry is January 10. It is important to give recognition and praise to our members for their efforts.
Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me. Together we can accomplish great things, if we work together, cooperate with others, respect one another, and give credit where credit is due. Thank you for all you do.
Respectfully,
Renee King
President for the Department of New Mexico
