Greetings Auxiliary Members.
Have you made plans to attend the 2026 Department Convention slated for June 26-28 at the Ramada by Wyndham (formerly known as Doublewood) in Fargo, ND? Members of Gilbert C. Grafton Unit 2 (Fargo) and Richard E. Nelson Unit 297 (Harwood) have teamed up again this year to co-host the convention. We welcome you all to the Fargo-Moorhead area and hope you will be able to explore our beautiful communities while you are here.
North Dakota currently has more than thirty-three units with over 100% membership. Thank you to Unit Membership Chairmen for your work gathering dues from current, new, and rejoined members. By now, all officers and chairmen should have paid their 2026 dues. Members who have not paid 2026 dues are not eligible to hold office in a unit, District, or the Department, and those names will be removed from officer lists. This action may result in your members not receiving information and relevant materials from the Department Office.
The annual year-end impact reports are arriving, and the information compiled so far indicates that units and members continue to be active in their communities, supporting our mission to support veterans, active military, and their families. Congratulations, and thank you for the work you all do on behalf of veterans, children and youth, and in your communities across the state of North Dakota. I am so proud to be part of this wonderful organization.
I wish each of you good health, and I look forward to seeing everyone in Fargo in June. Please keep our veterans, our troops, and their families in your prayers. Take care of yourselves and one another.
God Bless our troops and God Bless America.
Marcy Schmidt
