		Greetings Auxiliary Members! Convention Reports are coming in as I write this article. It is encouraging to see what has been accomplished this year. We may not have our National Convention; however, there are may things happening behind the scenes to keep our members informed. Reports will be on the website as of August 9th and remain on the site until October 1st. You can download or print these reports to share with members who do not have access to the website. The Board is working on replacing the National Secretary. Karen Grady has done a great job for us over the last four years. This is not an easy task. The new person coming into this position will have an easier time getting orientated into the job because of the efficiency of our current secretary. The year 2019-2020 ended June 30th, audit has been completed, and the new year's books are already in progress. One of the busiest times of the year for the office is coming soon, the processing of transmittals for each unit. Pray we find the right person for this important job. Due to many factors the new units, unveiled at Mid-Winter, have been delayed in completing their paperwork to be an official Unit. The Holy City Unit, South Carolina, is now up and running. Welcome aboard ladies! The Foothills Unit, North Carolina & the Lewis & Clark Leathernecks Unit, South Dakota final paperwork has been sent to National Headquarters. Initiation and Installation of Officers should happen soon. Each of these units will be a super addition to the already hard-working units across the nation. We have lost many of our valued members this past year who have gained their higher award! Many of our members need prayers and cards. Thanks to all who continue to make those calls & send cards. PNP Barb Nobile does a super job of keeping us informed. Help the Auxiliary shine and stay informed. If your unit is doing various great things, take pictures, write an article, and send to MCLA-Newsletters@nationalmcla.org. Semper Fidelis, Evelyn B Joppa Mid-Winter pictures Current Newsletter
