_______________________________________ Welcome and congratulations to all
the newly elected chairman of this committee, The Past President’s Parley function is to honor and recognize our female veterans by using our past presidents knowledge, mentoring skills and willingness to take responsibility to teach our leaders of tomorrow. We invite all past presidents to renew their dues and all new past presidents to join forces and become “ partners across New York”! Our committee raises money by having our “past presidents” pay $3 dues using a Transmittal Form, and forwarded to your county treasurer, which support the following purposes: 1. Provide $150 to each of the VAVS Representatives and Field Service Representatives for the needs of our Women Veterans. Needs include, but are not limited to, taking them for medicals needs, providing them with special care items, shopping trips, helping with the writing or answering of their mail needs. But most importantly sharing time with these most deserving veterans. 2. Offering the outgoing Honorary Department Junior President a scholarship in the amount of $1000.00 to aid in post secondary education. She must be a member in good standing at the time the scholarship is awarded. 3. The Past President’s Parley also offers (3) Scholarships in the medical field. All instructions and entry forms are included in the “ EDUCATION” section of this Plan of Action. Ladies, provided in this section is a new and faster way to join our fast growing parley. A transmittal form is included for each unit to fill out and use. This form can be utilized on the unit, county or district levels. Please take a few moments at your first meeting of the year and complete this form and mail to your prospective treasurer. Your treasurer in turn is requested to mail me a copy of the transmittal form and I will send back your 2011-2012 Past President’s card. For a $3 dues charge you can change the life of a deserving veteran and enhance the opportunity of a scholarship to a youth of tomorrow. WE NEED NOW to increase our membership to accommodate the returning large numbers of new veterans and the rising costs of education.
