With the luck of a Unicorn our membership will soar to the sky Greetings my Beautiful Butterflies, MARCH 2019 State Madam President Linda Day Wow! Another month has passed us by, I sure wish spring would get here I am so wanting to enjoy the outside. We were invited to attend the Goat Race in Lapeer what a Great time was had by all, and I was set for a challenge to see whose goat would finish first, the State Auxiliary Officers Goat or the State Aerie Officers Goat and I am happy to announce that the State Auxiliary Officers goat won. Then we were off to Motor city for the 69 th Anniversary and Initiation of new sisters, what a beautiful unicorn display I received from the sister in Motor City, I was give the Honor of presenting our Past State Madam President Linda Dockery (Grandma) her 35 year pin. Yep you guessed it we were off again this time to Traverse City for the State President cash bash fundraiser, what a great bunch of People with their support. I even came home with my own cool table sign. Even though I was questioned if I knew where it went, but you can t leave a gift behind. Then we were on our way again to Durand for their 40 th Anniversary want a beautiful time and the decorations were beautiful, there were 6 of the Charter members present and I was asked to present them with their 40 year Pin.

Auxiliary Secretaries, Ladies, we have in our State Auxiliary By-laws that if we have to send out a State Officer to help you get in Compliance the cost for each Auxiliary will be $25.00 with the check made out to Michigan State Auxiliary. We have a long list of Auxiliaries that are not in Compliance. I have enclosed the Nasty List. Ladies please get these items completed. If your 990 is done call the Grand Aerie so they can update your files at (614) 883-2200 ask for Joan. You can also send me a copy of your 990 and I will forward it to the Grand Aerie. If your Aerie doesn t get you Bonded then your Auxiliary must get your own Bonding. Your Auxiliaries have been notified on the Per Capita Tax that will be for the Grand Aerie. Remember they will have all Per Capita Taxes due on June 1 st. The State Auxiliary will be changing our State By-laws to have the State Per Capita Taxes due on June 1 st as the Grand Aerie is doing. Let s work together and make Mighty Michigan shine with all the Auxiliaries being in compliance this year. You can go on the MMS to see if your Auxiliary is in compliance. Follow these instructions: MMS go to reports, look up Compliance Data Sheet, this report will give you the information you need to get your Auxiliary back in compliance. Call me if you have any questions. I have sent out the 2019 State Convention Packet and I have to hold back your packet if you re Auxiliary is not in compliance. When you get the Convention Packet you need to read everything in this Packet. We have a lot of changes for this upcoming State Convention.

FROM YOUR MEMBERSHIP CHAIR Was trying to come up with something witty for this month s article based on Linda s theme this year (the Unicorn) and found some mythological facts that I thought I d share. Historically, unicorns were known for their purity, nobility, strength, and connection with good. The legendary unicorn has qualities such as: Divining Truth it is thought to hold the power to divine truth and will pierce the heart of a liar with its horn. YUCK!! Even small lies???? Supreme Strength it can easily kill and elephant, a testament to its immense power and strength. OK that s good wouldn t want to upset one though!! Purity It is believed that the unicorn is attracted to purity and innocence, And wondered if Michigan State Madam President knew this one: You can acquire a Unicorn Hunting License from Lake Superior College in Sault Ste. Marie MICHIGAN. Hunting areas include, earth, moon (unexplored areas only) Milky Way (SE Rim is closed odd years) and all else. And finally but most important Unicorns are earthbound and do not have wings. If a unicorn and Pegasus (a flying horse) mate, the babies may become flying unicorns. FINALLY understand Linda s mascot wings cuz mamma unicorn and papa Pegasus mated!!! And boy am I glad they did!! That s why we been able to soar to the sky. And Michigan Auxiliaries have SOARED so far this year. WE ARE AT 78% WITH 3 MONTHS TO GO!! The wings have worked. We have 27 Auxiliaries at 100% of quota; 2 at 200%; 1 at 313% and District 11 at 103%. Keep up the great work all and we will be ringing bells again this year at the convention for meeting Linda s goal. Kathie
