Helpful Website/Reporting information

 

 VFW Reporting Description –  Written by Cdr. Glenn Della-Monica in Hudson.  VFW specific but most of it also applies to the Aux.

 

District Presidents and Program Chairs, scroll to the bottom for specific information.

 

IMPORTANT, You MUST check the “Auxiliary” box when entering your reports in order for the Auxiliary to get credit.  If nothing is checked, the system will assume that the report is a VFW report.

 

VFW – Don’t select the Aux. box.  Otherwise the system will assume it all an Auxiliary entry.   Auxiliary will enter the auxiliary reports, making sure to click the Auxiliary box each and every time!  If a VFW member enters their auxiliary reports, don’t combine reports with the VFW.  Do the VFW report with your members, then do the Auxiliary report with their members and check Auxiliary!

 

I would suggest before you submit any reports, you open each program and view the drop downs in each to familiarize yourself as to what is to be reported where.  For example:

 

Veterans and Family Support:

VASH donations – The Hospital Chair knows about these needs and puts out the email, VASH donations should be split and reported under Veterans and Family Support and Hospital.  However, VASH is a drop down in the VFS program section.

 

Homeless Veteran Assistance (Stand Down for instance, donations to Liberty House or Harbor Homes, etc.) should be reported under the VFS program, Homeless Veteran Assistance drop down.

 

There are a lot of drop downs.  These are things that people do for folks who are NOT veterans.  So visiting sick folks who are not veterans would go under here instead of “Hospital”.

 

The $2 Cancer donations they want us to give has a drop down under Community Service, as does any donations to any Cancer organizations (such as Relay for Life, any Cancer Walks like Susan Kolman, etc.)  Any Senior Citizen assistance (when you’re not sure if they were all veterans or not), Blood Drives should go under here, church activities, etc.

It’s concise, easy to understand, automatically totaled and I’m looking forward to seeing this improve our reporting numbers for both the Auxiliary and the VFW.
