DEPARTMENT ADJUTANT
*********** IMPORTANT ***********
For your information and giving you a heads up for planning purposes, National Headquarters, at the 2023 National Convention, in Charlotte, NC passed an increase of National dues in the amount of $5.00.
That means that the increase in National dues will go from $18.50 to $23.50 per member beginning July 1, 2024 to cover the 2025 membership year.
The Department charge will remain at $8.00 per year for the immediate future and I would not be surprised if a change is not brought before the Department Convention. With that said each transmittal will cost $31.50.
Please check the amount of your Post dues and plan accordingly. Each year, each post receives a Post Data Report. You are asked to complete the form and return it to Department even if there are no changes. This information is forwarded to National. Please complete this form and return it as it asks for information on your current dues amount.
In addition, this will also change the cost of the Adopt a Vet program. Each Adopt a Vet will now cost $23.50.
If you have any questions, please reach out the Membership Chairman Bob Dionne or contact this office.
