Auxiliary Participating in Outreach

 

NEW THIS YEAR:   PROGRAMS HAVE UNIQUE QR CODES WITH A DIRECT LINK TO THE PROGRAM.

 

Auxiliary Outreach is not complicated. We all volunteer or belong to other organizations. To be considered as an Auxiliary Outreach project, the project must be approved by the members and recorded in the minutes prior to the project. In rare instances, such as natural disasters or emergency community needs, the members may vote after the fact. Those volunteering must wear the Auxiliary emblem on a shirt, jacket, hat, or pin. Even if only one member shows up, it still counts as Auxiliary Outreach. To be Auxiliary Outreach, it must be an event not reportable in any of our other 10 programs. You can only count the hours members donate. If you spend any money or donate items, it’s NOT Auxiliary Outreach. If you are volunteering at the local animal shelter, that’s Auxiliary Outreach. Why? Because it does not fit into any of our other programs.

Did you know that almost every month has a day or week recognizing volunteerism? Please spread the word about these days and consider doing something special. I will be covering these in my Promotions.
