found to be in conflict with the VFW National Bylaws. Sec. 1201
9. If for some reason, such as illness or extended vacation, the Auxiliary, District or County Council President or Treasurer will not be able to perform her duties, a letter requesting permission to allow an acting Treasurer or the Senior Vice-President to counter- sign checks for a specified period should be sent to the National Treasurer for approval by the National President. The Officer’s name shall be removed from the bank account and the acting Officer’s name added. No more than two (2) signatures may appear on the account at one time. Both Officers of the Auxiliary, District and County Council shall review all expenditures before signing checks. Sections 811 and 813
10. Department – Budget and final audit reports (Council approved) must be sent to National Headquarters by October 1 unless permission is granted by the National President for an extension. Budget and audit reports should be signed by the committee along with the date of approval.
11. There have been many questions regarding Auxiliaries owning real estate. Auxiliaries cannot own real estate, but they
may own real property which may remain the property of the Auxiliary as long as it would not damage the Post property by moving it.
12. When mailing checks to National Headquarters, please do not combine multiple items on one check. Prepare an individual check per item/donation and mark in the memo section the reason for the check.
13. Auxiliaries and Districts are permitted to have only two (2) signatures on the Auxiliary bank account. The National Bylaws, Article VIII, Sections 810A and 810C, set forth that the President shall countersign all checks. The disbursement of money shall be upon motion made and passed at a meeting with the exception of the transmittal of membership dues, which does not require a motion.
