Commander-in-Chief Tim Borland has set out the first Commander’s Challenge for the membership year.   During the month of September 2022, we’re going to be focusing on increasing our Annual members. This is going to count new members, continuous members who renew during the month of September, reinstated members, and dues-paying transfers. At the end of the month, we’re going to take the five top Posts in each division and hold a drawing for a $500 award to be deposited directly into the Post account.   Getting off to a strong start in the first quarter of the membership year is imperative to building momentum that will continue throughout the year. We have our goals and the tools necessary to achieve them. All we need is the motivation and the call to action – and that call has gone out. Remember when we’re out there speaking with our members and the veterans in our community, that EVERY VETERAN COUNTS.

Just put the 2022-23 bonding info up on the QM Continuity page. Rates are the same as last year but please read the bonding notes.  We also updated the QM checklist for the new year. You'll know you have the new one because it says "2022-23" on the top and it has green highlights instead of red. Thanks for all you do!

We held a monthly QM training class tonight. We covered: Time for annual Incorporation update. A new link has been added to the Quartermaster Continuity Book on the Georgia VFW webpage (georgiavfw.org) under the Resources tab. Went over the General Order (#6) that was sent out today. End of year is coming up so help your Post make sure they have all bases covered. (The program year ends on April 30.) Discussed an email from Georgia Secretary of State office saying that they will be sending out info on the Annual Bingo Report and that the due date may be slipped till the end of April. Stay tuned and let QM Carroll know if you hear any more detail on this.
