PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE American Legion Auxiliary Members, Each member has the power to make a difference with Joyce E. Endres positive changDepartment es as we serve President our heroes and their families. You are a GEM of SERVICE – let yourself shine! The mission of the ALA begins with ‘In the spirit of Service, Not Self.’ VA Medical Center volunteers, representatives, and deputies epitomize service, not self. They honor and serve hospitalized veterans and active military recovering from old and new wounds of war. They serve with their heart. One volunteer said, “I am a better person because I am a volunteer.” ‘Loving Spoonfuls’ is a term

used by VA volunteers. Loving volunteers open milk, carry trays, and help veterans who may need assistance with their daily meals. This term is a kind way to wake us up to the reality of the needs of our veterans. Your membership supports VA Medical Centers and the Veterans Affairs and Rehabilitation program. Thank you for being a member! As you think about the joy you gave another person through your patriotism and dedication, you can’t help but smile about it! Brag about what you do so the world knows about the difference we make as members of the American Legion Family. I read an article about Maya Van Wagenen, now 15, who wrote a book while attending eighth grade entitled, ‘Popular: Vintage Wisdom for a Modern Geek.’ Maya ends her book with a plea for her peers, “All the times I

felt popular were because I had reached out to other people. We can bring about a lot of change on this planet (and in our schools) by digging deep, finding our best selves, and shining that light of compassion.” Share this advice with Junior and Senior members! A culture of goodwill, with positive approaches and communication, encourages more participation and support for all we do. Each member or stakeholder you touch elevates the awareness of the ALA – who we are, what we do and why we matter. Each member, unit, county, and district plays an important role in our success as we carry out Auxiliary mission driven programs. Some initiatives, such as the Homeless Women Veterans Grant Program, garner national attention. Others may have less publicly visible components but are still vital to serving our veter-

ans, youth and communities. The impact of the Wisconsin ALA is amazing. Add the impact of the American Legion Family as a whole, and the impact goes beyond measure. Every member, hour, and dollar makes a difference. The hard work, dedication and patriotic spirit our volunteers

and each member brings to the ALA helps us achieve success as we ‘Share our Lives’ to fulfill the mission and vision of the ALA. Share that smile and spread the joy you feel ‘Sharing your Life’ for God and country. Joyce E. Endres Department President

Celebrating Auxiliary Service

MEMBERSHIP The 2013-2014 membership year is rapidly coming to a close. But, the Department of Wisconsin is only 2,478 members away from reaching 100% and we are not giving up until we get there. Now more than ever we need to make personal contact with those members who have not renewed their memberships. Find out why they haven’t renewed and see what your unit can do to help them out. Can your unit honor members with 50 or more continuous years of membership by paying their dues? Do you have any members that are serving our country? If so, pay their dues! Do you have any female veterans who are Legion members? Sign them up as Auxiliary members and they become Dual members! And don’t forget your daughters, granddaughters and great-granddaughters. Start or add to a junior group in your unit. We need these young members so we can pass on our legacy of volunteerism, patrio-

DISTRICT

tism, leadership and Service Not Self. I want to congratulate everyone for helping the Department of Wisconsin achieve the third membership goal of 85% by May 17th, Armed Forces Day. You have worked hard, but the work isn’t done. Don’t forget the membership incentive for recruiting new members for your units. Each member who recruits a new member and submits an entry form to the department will be entered in a drawing for $25! Ten winners’ names will be drawn at Convention in July and you do not need to be present to win. Now, don’t forget the unit incentive out there. There will be payouts of $50 to the top three units in percentage of membership. So keep making those personal phone calls and personal contacts to renew your members and sign up new ones. Don’t forget: if you need any help with membership to give your Dis-

DISTRICT

trict President and Membership Chairman a call for help. Your Department Membership team is also here to help. The goal of the National Organization is to reach one million members by 2019, the 100-year anniversary of the American Legion Auxiliary. We need to stay diligent and connected to our members so that we become the premier service organization and foundation of every community providing support for our veterans, our military and their families. Share Your Life, Be Gems of Service and Pass It On!

CHAPLAIN’S CORNER Char Kiesling Department Chaplain Music Chairman Ph: (920) 725-0121 Email: charbabyrn@yahoo.com June finds us enjoying our long-awaited, warm, sunny days with a few showers thrown in for good measure. Signs are everywhere that our Lord is finally giving us respite from our frigid days of winter. My previous Chaplain’s Corner honored mothers and their special day. June brings Father’s Day on June 15, 2014. I, of course, remember my father Charles “Charlie” Lenz who is no longer with us. He was the typical American Legionnaire, working tirelessly for The American Legion. He was a Past Grand Chef with the 40&8, a member of the VFW, a CVSO, and Department American Legion Vice-Commander who led in membership throughout the nation that year! He acquired 10,000 volunteer hours at the Middleton VA Center. He was so proud of every award, certificate, and honor he received. He was also a great dad to seven children and a disabled wife. He was totally committed to God, his family, and his country. He gave back as much as he gained from his work for veterans. The American Legion was there for him and his young family when he needed help after a serious injury. Charlie Lenz is one of many dedicated WWII veterans who sacrificed and led by example to make life better for others. May he rest in peace with his Supreme Commander with others of his generation. Our fathers certainly deserve this special day of remembrance, especially our veterans and servicemen at home and abroad. HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! PRAYER: Lord, we give you thanks for fathers who give us strength, direction, shelter and shield with their loving protection. May you carry us through life on the wings of your love. MUSIC: FAITH OF OUR FATHERS, written in 1849. Faith of our fathers, living still, In spite of dungeon, fire, and sword; O how our hearts beat high with joy Whene’er we hear that glorious Word! (Refrain) Faith of our fathers, holy faith! We will be true to Thee till death. Faith of our fathers, we will love Both friend and foe in all our strife; And preach Thee, too, as love knows how Be kindly words and virtuous life. (Refrain) Faith of our fathers, holy faith! We will be true to Thee till death.

Happy Father’s Day!

GREETINGS FROM HEADQUARTERS Bonnie Dorniak Executive Secretary/Treasurer Ph: (608) 745-0124 Email: deptsec@amlegionauxwi.org The 2014 ALA membership year runs from January 1 to December 31, 2014. If a member’s dues were paid to the Unit but the Unit did NOT forward them to Department, that member is considered delinquent and is not eligible for member benefits. Applications for new 2014 members should be submitted with a Unit Membership Transmittal Form immediately so they can receive the full benefits of membership – including the right to vote on unit matters; applications should NOT be held until the 2015 membership year. 2015 membership cards will be distributed to units after Department Convention. Units are asked to collect and for-

ward dues to Department as soon as the cards are received. National is offering monthly cash incentives to Departments that process membership dues in a timely manner and we need your help to win as much as we possibly can! Units and Posts are reminded to submit their 20% poppy profit reports to Department Headquarters upon completion of poppy distribution. Poppy profit funds are split equally to support veterans and children and youth programs. The 94th Annual ALA Convention is scheduled for July 18-20, 2014 at the Radisson Paper Valley Hotel in Appleton. Convention information was sent to all Unit Presidents in the May Unit mailing. Pre-registration fee is $25; registration after July 14 is $30. The number of delegates each unit is allowed is based on total paid membership 30-days prior

to Department Convention. Forms will be sent to each Unit so they can provide the names of delegates to headquarters so voting credentials can be recorded and voting cards printed and ready for registration. Please visit the department website for a full schedule of activities and convention information. National Convention is scheduled for August 22-28, 2014 in Charlotte, NC. The Wisconsin American Legion has contracted with Lamers Coaches to provide round-trip bus transportation from Department Headquarters to the Convention Hotel. Cost is $300 per person. A nonrefundable deposit of $150 per passenger is required. The reservation form is available on the department website and must be submitted to Legion Headquarters as soon as possible.

AMERICANISM Laurel DuBois Department Chairman FLAG DAY In the United States, Flag Day is celebrated on June 14 to commemorate the adoption of the United States flag. On June 14, 1777, the Second Continental Congress passed the first Flag Act: Resolved, that the flag of the United States be made of thirteen stripes, alternate red

and white, that the union be thirteen stars, white in blue field, representing a new Constellation. In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson issued a proclamation that officially established June 14 as Flag Day. Today, the flag consists of thirteen horizontal stripes, seven red alternating with six white. The stripes represent the original 13 colonies; the stars represent the 50

states of the Union. The colors of the flag are symbolic as well: red symbolizes hardiness and valor, white symbolizes purity and innocence, and blue represents vigilance, perseverance and justice. Please show your patriotic spirit by flying the American flag on Flag Day, June 14, 2014 and every day! God Bless America!

VETERANS AFFAIRS & REHABILITATION Judy Walters Department Chairman In August 2013, the Wisconsin American Legion Auxiliary received an application for assistance from a woman veteran who found herself homeless. “Dawn” was in her mid-fifties and never in her wildest dreams did she ever think she would end up homeless, but she was determined

to get back on her feet. She qualified to attend school under both the Wisconsin State Tuition Reimbursement and the Veterans Retraining Assistance programs but needed help with her first semester tuition and books at Milwaukee Area Technical College and her grant application was approved. Recently, she received funds through the Wisconsin GI Bill and repaid

the Homeless Women Veterans Grant Fund, which will allow the ALA to help another woman veteran when the need arises. Dawn graduated with honors in May 2014 and hopes to find employment right away. Thank you to everyone who supports our women veterans through the Homeless Women Veterans Grant Fund!

WALASBA BOWLING TOURNAMENT Jenni Syftestad WALASBA Tournament Manager The WALASBA 9-pin tournament once again was a place to be for fun and relaxation! A few ladies joined us for the first time. Some ladies bowled doubles and singles only because they did not have two more ladies available to make a team. So come out for the fun, even if it’s only you and a partner. We had twenty-seven (27) teams, fortyseven (47) doubles, ninety-three (93) singles, and seventy-two (72) ladies entered all events. Yes, there was one 300-game bowled! Congratulations to Carol Gehrke from Fremont who rolled a 300! Others came close but just couldn’t do it.

TOURNAMENT RESULTS Team: 1st Place – Waunakee Unit 360, Team: Gusto’s (Score: 2592) 2nd Place – Grafton Unit 355, Team: Grafton (Score: 2559) 3rd Place – Verona Unit 385, Team: Mom & The Girls (Score 2482) Doubles: K. Mohs/L. Stump (Score: 1413) J. Syftestad/S. Zier (Score: 1370) L. Bertand/T. Moegenburg (Score: 1345) Singles: C. Mortenson (Score: 846) L. Bertrand (Score: 762) J. Syftestad (Score: 733)

All Events: L. Bertand (Score: 2286) J. Syftestad (Score: 2131) K. Mohs (Score: 2082) Oh – the Department President’s team beat the Department Secretary’s team! President’s Team Score: 1992. Secretary’s Team Score: 1737. Word from the Secretary’s team is that President Joyce stacked her team. Just kidding, President Joyce! [Editor’s Note: The President did select the teams. Hmmm...] At this time I do not have the schedule for next year’s tournament, but we hope to announce the dates soon so more ladies can join us in APPLETON!

The recent Poppy distribution of ALA Unit 53 of Eau Claire exceeded all expectations as the result of a large donation from Holiday Vacations. The annual Poppy distribution is a crucial fundraiser for the American Legion Auxiliary. American Legion and American Legion Auxiliary members, community members and businesses in the Chippewa Valley donated generously during the 2014 Poppy distribution in early May. Most generous of all was Holiday Vacations of Eau Claire which gave $10,000 in honor of all veterans. Holiday Vacations’ donation is the largest single donation ever received for the Eau Claire Auxiliary’s Poppy Fund. Wisconsin’s Poppy Fund benefits veterans in several ways, starting with the veterans who make the poppies. 100% of the Eau Claire Auxiliary’s poppy profits are used to improve the welfare of veterans, active military personnel and their families, especially in Western Wisconsin. Pictured: Tom Wildrick, World War II Army Veteran, passed away on February 15, 2014. Tom was the beloved father of Patty Stoffers and fatherin law of Pat Stoffers, founder of Holiday Travel in Eau Claire (now Holiday Vacations).
