AMERICAN LEGION AUXILIARY

DEPARTMENT OF WISCONSIN

Greetings from Department President Teresa Isensee

“It is one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold:

when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade”

~Charles Dickens, Great Expectations.

Welcome Spring! I’m looking forward to no snow, sun, warmer weather, and gardens filled with tulips,

crocuses, and daffodils. A time for new beginnings as the earth warms up with the spring sun, the rains

fall and the trees blossom, a time for reflecting on a new year filled with the sights and sounds of

revitalization.

Auxiliary members – it is so important that we revitalize our units with the new beginnings of spring.

Our organization depends on our ability to engage and renew our membership in this the Largest

Women’s Patriotic Organization. District Presidents, County Presidents and Unit Presidents – we need

your help in making sure that our organization will be here for our future veterans. It is time to call your

non-renewed members and welcome them with open arms to a new beginning.

Please call either Membership Chairmen Joan or me if you would like help in revitalizing your Unit. On

the www.amlegionauxwi.org website, under Membership, you will find the following documents to help

your unit;

ALA Revitalization Guide Packet can be ordered for $25.00

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thank you to all the Units and Districts that have invited me to your events to meet and greet the

wonderful members that care about our veterans, our military and their families. There is still time for me

to visit your meeting or events – please fill out a Department President Request Form and either mail or

email it to me and I will try to fit the event or meeting into my schedule.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Plans are underway for the State Convention from July 16-19, 2015 at the Radisson Paper Valley in

Appleton. We will discuss American Legion Auxiliary business, listen to the wonderful Unit activities

from our Department Chairmen, have a little song and dance, and present the Department President’s

Awards of Excellence, determined by the Annual Reports that were received from our Units. In addition,

the Membership Team and I will be dancing for the Legion due to the bet we lost on the percentage of

membership by February 14th.

District Presidents – I hope you have a successful Spring Conference and that you have received an

Impact Report from all the units in your District. I can’t wait to see the numbers on the combined Impact

Report for the Department of Wisconsin.

2016 MEMBERSHIP CARDS: 2016 Membership Packets, including membership cards, rosters, and transmittal

forms, will be mailed after Department Convention. Units may begin submitting 2016 dues to Department after

they receive the packet.

Per the American Legion Auxiliary Unit Handbook, “Units must forward dues at least once per month. An attempt

to hold back dues money raises serious legal questions of the rights of members who do not receive their

membership benefits. Likewise, if the money is lost, serious legal issues arise involving care and custody of the

funds and issues of bonding of individuals who hold the funds. An individual who withholds money that should be

forwarded most likely is in violation of the terms of the bond.”

Questions? Please contact Andrea Stoltz at Department Headquarters.

2015 FALL INFORMATIONAL FORUM - SAVE THE DATE!

The 2015 Fall Informational Forum will be held at The Plaza Hotel and Suites in Eau Claire on September 18-19.

American Legion Auxiliary – Department of Wisconsin Department President Teresa’s Prayer Book

Attention ALL American Legion Auxiliary Members and Juniors:

As your Department Chaplain, I am requesting your help in making

President Teresa’s Prayer Book one she will treasure always!

I’m accepting prayers, from young and “old.” This is not

just a Unit Chaplain’s responsibility. I’d like to include

prayers for any occasion, inspirational or patriotic thoughts

and/or poems, and hymn verses or songs (MUSIC!). Junior

members are encouraged to send me pictures related to President Teresa’s “Raise Your Voice in Song” theme or their own

original prayers and/or poems.

THANK YOU to those who have already sent me

beautiful entries! This project will be a work of

many…AS WE SHARE OUR LIFE AND LOVE FOR

GOD AND COUNTRY with President Teresa. I hope Unit Chaplains are busy working on their entries for the Prayer Book

Contest. All entries submitted will receive a citation and the best entry will

receive a special gift. Make this a UNIT project! It will mean so much more

to everyone involved!

Contact me if you have any questions:

May Membership Message-Spring Cleaning

This is a perfect time to evaluate your unit to see if you have an inviting atmosphere that would entice

members to be involved. Attendance at your meetings is not mandatory, so you need to make sure that

every member feels like a useful part of the unit. They are worthy of taking the time to inform them

about your meetings and to ask their opinions. They deserve to be accepted just as they are because

they are either a veteran or a member of a veteran’s family. Here is a checklist to see how your unit

rates.

_____1. Do you have clear organization and confident leaders?

Imagine you’re a new member. You’re giving up your time for the unit, only to discover that the

leaders lack clear direction, unit members are late, needed items for the project or meeting are

missing, and people around you are uncertain about their actions and strategies. For some

people, a level of disorganization is acceptable. But you can be sure that your high-capacity

volunteers will get quickly discouraged from participating in your activities, feeling that their

time could be spent more productively somewhere else.

_____2 . Do you recognize their contributions?

Volunteers help you without being paid for it, but that doesn’t mean that they won’t appreciate

some form of recognition. If you fail to reward them and rarely ever recognize the passion and

enthusiasm they bring to your unit, you’re bound to quickly lose their attention. Remember that

being recognized is what ultimately motivates people to go the extra mile. Public relations

articles and “years of continuous membership” citations would do this.

_____ 3. Do you offer training and guidance?

New members do not already know what your unit does or what the programs are about. Invite

them to leadership trainings and County and District meetings. Be sure to offer them a folder

with brochures and information that tells where they can learn about the American Legion

Auxiliary online.

AMERICAN LEGION AUXILIARY, DEPARTMENT OF WISCONSIN

Candidates for Department Office

Who may run for District President/Department office?

The Counsel General of the American Legion Auxiliary has ruled that anyone may run for any office. This is a right of

membership. However, one should not expect to be elected without some qualifications. The Department Executive

Board is comprised of the Department Officers and District Presidents and has fiduciary, policy and strategic

responsibility for the organization and is responsible for the organization’s adherence to legal standards and ethical norms.

Is serving as District President a prerequisite for Department office?

No, you need not have been a District President to be a department officer. While most candidates for department office

have served as District President, we have had Department Presidents who did not serve in that capacity. District

Presidents need not run for department office immediately upon conclusion of their district service. Many Past

Department Presidents have served Department one or more years after leaving district office.

How do you get started?

The best qualifications are to be an active member, and to gain as much experience and knowledge about the organization

as possible at the unit, county and district levels. Participation in various training programs such as a leadership

workshop, Fall Informational Forum and National Regional Conference is also an indication of your interest in the

organization.

Before you make a decision to run for office, consider time commitments needed to fulfill the office. You will be

required to attend Department Executive Board meetings, Department and National Conventions, the Fall Informational

Forum and such other meetings as the Department President may call. Some of the meetings will be on weekends, but

others, such as conventions, will require time during the week. Do not run for office if you cannot fulfill these

obligations. It is not fair to accept the office if you know that job or family commitments, for example, will prohibit you

from participating fully. Of course it is understood that the unexpected may arise, in which case the Department President

should be notified and you will be excused.

Becoming a candidate.

It is best to make known your intentions to be a candidate as early as possible. It gives you a chance to gather information

regarding procedures for running. The Department office is a valuable resource, as are past Department officers. It is also

helpful to others who may plan to run for office. You may also wish to ask your unit, county or district for an

endorsement of your candidacy, which takes time. If you are uncertain of the office you will seek, you may be endorsed

“for the office of your choice.”

Endorsements are not necessary to run for office. While not necessary, it is nice to have an expression of the endorsing

body that you are highly thought of and competent to perform the duties of the office you seek. However, lack of

endorsements does not prohibit your candidacy or election. At times in the past, candidates have emerged while at the

convention itself, thereby eliminating any opportunity to secure endorsements. And when unexpected vacancies occur

and are filled by appointment, again the endorsements are not available. Therefore, it would be inconsistent to require

endorsements for office at other times, and would be in conflict with the Counsel General’s ruling.

Campaigning not allowed.

Be familiar with Standing Rules regarding elections and campaigns. Campaigning is restricted in the Department of

Wisconsin. However, an announcement of your candidacy may be published in the June issue of the WISCONSIN. You

will be responsible for submitting an article and head-and-shoulder photo to the Department Secretary by May 15th. Later

publication will not be allowed as this is unfair to other candidates.

Nominations.

You will be nominated according to the rules and order of business established by the convention body. The choice of

nominator is up to you. Be sure the name of the person nominating you is provided to the Department Secretary prior to

the opening convention session. You and the nominator should be available to go to the platform quickly when called.

Be ready to respond to the nomination.

RESOLUTIONS - INSTRUCTIONS

A resolution is a main motion, offered as a resolution either because of its importance or because

of its length or complexity. Resolutions for this reason should always be prepared in writing.

Resolutions usually are comprised of two parts, the preamble and the resolved clause(s).

However, a preamble is not required for a resolution to be proper. The preamble explains the

reasons for the motion, and each idea or reason therein begins with “Whereas.” The “Resolved”

clause is the motion itself, and would be written as a motion.

The Bylaws of the Department of Wisconsin American Legion Auxiliary (Article II, Section 1)

require that:

4. The Department President shall, not less than 30 days prior to the annual Department

Convention, appoint a Resolutions Committee consisting of five members chosen from

the delegates.

a. Resolutions presented by an individual member must be approved by the Unit or

District of which she is a member. Resolutions must be received at department by

June 1. Copies of these resolutions shall be transmitted to Units not less than 30

days before Department convention.

b. Any resolution not approved by a Unit or District, or when the District conference

is held after June 1, must be approved by the appropriate Department chairman of

the program to which the resolution pertains. The Department chairman will submit

resolutions that she approves to the Resolutions Committee for consideration.

c. The Resolutions Committee will forward any approved resolutions with a financial

impact to the Finance Committee for their approval.

Once the Resolutions Committee and other appropriate chairmen/committees have acted on all

resolutions, the Resolutions Chairman will report recommendations to the convention delegates.

This is done at the end of each program report.

Mequon to King Veterans Home

June 18-21, 2015

Commander Bob Shappell has announced a 3-day motorcycle ride by the American Legion Riders Association

of Wisconsin, June 18-21, 2015, to raise money for The American Legion Legacy Scholarship Fund. An initial

Fundraising goal of $59,000.00 has been set. The ride will culminate at the King Veterans Home to kick off the

annual King Day festivities.

Since Sept 11, 2001, the men and women of our Armed Forces have sacrificed to defend the principles on

which our nation was founded. Many have paid the ultimate price. Many times, however, the forgotten heroes

of this terrific sacrifice are the families - especially the children - of these great Americans. Since that fateful

day in September, some 11,000 children have lost a parent in service to our country. These children are the

innocent casualties of war. The American Legion's Legacy Scholarship Fund was created to ease their burden.

When Mom or Dad has given that last full measure of devotion, the children have also given, and they have no

say in the circumstances that will forever impact their lives.

The total survivor benefit for children of military personnel killed on active duty is slightly more than $26,000,

to be used for a college education. In today's dollars, this benefit will pay little more than half of what a college

education costs in the most affordable situation. This gap widens when considering the cost of a college

education in the future. The most conservative estimate is that costs will increase by 5 percent per year,

meaning that in 16 years, the most affordable college education will be $94,332. Military compensation will

not keep up with these dramatic increases. The American Legion's Legacy Scholarship Fund is designed to help fill the financial gap for these children.

Please help Commander Shappell reach his initial fundraising goal of $59,000.00. Fill out the bottom portion of

this form and return it to The American Legion Headquarters, at the address below, with your donation. If you

would like to participate in the ride, go to www.wilegion.org and click on the Spirit Run logo to register.

POPPY PROGRAM

Laurel DuBois, Department Chairman Ph: 715-825-3916 ♦ Email: [email protected]

Hello everyone! I hope that you are all well and happy that Spring is right

around the corner. It is time to see green grass and the blooming of all our

flowers. The flowers bring joy and happiness to us and let us know that the

season has changed.

We, the members of the American Legion Auxiliary, are privileged to have

a flower that blooms every day of the year and that flower is our Poppy. Our

Poppy allows us to support our veterans, their families and their communities.

Through the Poppy Program, we offer poppy contests and provide poppy awards.

This program provides information and knowledge to our Auxiliary members and

our communities.

It is hard to believe that one little flower known as the Poppy has supported

veterans since 1919 and will continue to support our veterans. Each year, over

350,000 memorial poppies are distributed in Wisconsin as a tribute to deceased

veterans of all wars.

God Bless You. God Bless America.
