Honor Society of Women Legionnaires
February-March 2012 / Winter Edition II
THE NATIONAL JEEP

Greetings from the National Director VIP
Judi Beischel
As I reflected on what I was going to say in my Jeep article this
month, I received my annual calendar in the mail from WIMSA,
Women in Military Service for America. The year 2012 marks the
15th Anniversary of the Memorial which is located in Arlington,
VA, near our National Cemetery. The Memorial continues to
search for and honor the deeds of America's servicewomen. About
247,300 women are now registered. Wilma L. Vaught, Brigadier
General, USAF, Ret., is the founder and President of the Memorial Foundation. It is her goal to cross the 250,000 mark by the 15th
anniversary in October 2012. I know many of you are already
members. If you are not registered yet, I hope you will so that
your service is part of the record of women's service to the nation.
You can download a membership form at
www.womensmemorial.org or call the memorial at 800-222-2294.
Last year on Memorial Day weekend, PND Patricia Jackson Kelley, PND Connie Jo Popham
and I traveled to Washington D.C. to place wreaths on the Tomb of the Unknown and at the
WIMSA Memorial. It was one of the most memorable experiences of my life. It is an honor
to participate in the Memorial Day Ceremonies and the fact that I was born on the 'real' Memorial Day, May 30th, made it even more special for me. As I prepare to make reservations
for this May, I look forward to sharing the experience again. If you are already a member of
WIMSA and have received your copy of the calendar, be sure to check October 2012 for our
picture! Additional calendars are available by calling 800-222-2294 or by e-mailing
[email protected].
If anyone is considering joining me in D.C., please contact me and I will be happy to fill you
in on the airport and hotel we found to be convenient to the metro and the National Cemetery.
Please note the corrected phone numbers for our Disbursing Officer Donna Botelho: Home is
253-531-9149 and cell is 253-686-0903.
I would like to share a toast that we used at a fundraiser last nite:
TO THOSE THAT WENT
TO THOSE THAT ARE THERE, STILL
TO THOSE THAT HAVE NOT RETURNED
TO THOSE THAT NEVER WILL
For God and Country.

THE NATIONAL JEEP · WINTER II - 2012

Senior Vice Director
Joyce Babcock
Jr. Vice Director
Glenda Guillory Simon
Back again asking for all our Jeepettes who have
not paid their latest dues to PLEASE get them to your
Aide now. It is far past time to have that issue out of
the way so we can get on with completing our programs aiding Veterans, especially our women Veterans. I believe we all are proud to be a member of an
organized group of women Veterans, a group dedicated to helping other women Veterans. We should all
be proud of our service to our country and I am sure
you are, so lets show it by getting the dues out of the
way and get on with what we are here for.
Greetings Ladies! I pray that each and everyone of
you had a very Blessed Christmas. I must have
been a VERY GOOD GIRL in 2011 because I received a NEW CAR. When I came up with the
price of the Fundraiser, I did not think about the
financial difficulties we are all facing today. I hope
you don’t mind the change.
It was a real pleasure to receive so many helpful
and welcome notes last year during my fund raising
efforts. Thank you all for your generous donations
and don’t forget our Junior Vice Director is working
that task this year-if each member just adds what she
can, Glenda will reach her goal handily. This is one of
her duties and I’m sure she is doing her best at a difficult task.
When you are thinking of membership, remember
all the Ladies who are currently on active duty. Many
of them have been recruited for your local American
Post and are ready and willing to be part of a group
like ours dedicated primarily to the interests and
needs of women over the Veteran population as a
whole. We are special aren’t we? I know I am very
proud of my years of service in our Navy as are those
with whom I served. And I find that same pride in the
members of the Twenty and Four when I go to Bivouac and see all the lovely ladies in their Jeepette colors
and Legion cap. We stand out as special people so
lets give other worthy ladies an opportunity to be one
of us.
One more thing-if you are getting your issue of the
National Jeep in the mail and you have an email address, the email issue is much quicker, has color that
is fantastic and saves our National Treasury a good
deal of money for postage. So won’t you please consider submitting your email address to either our National Aide through your Echelon Aide and prepare to
read/print your own copy? Or send it to me if you
can’t find another way to get it in the file: [email protected] . You may of course send me
any ideas or concerns the same way. Looking forward
to hearing from many of you as I spend much time on
the WEB.

SERVICE HOURS
Our 2011-2012 year of service to our women veterans is half over. Have you been keeping track of
those visited in nursing homes, hospitals, or who
are shut-ins? How many miles have been logged
taking our ladies to doctor office visits, socials, or
meetings?
Remember, too, to keep track of the dollar value of
gifts, refreshments, and cards/postage. How many
cards have been sent and telephone calls made?
These can all be reported on our Consolidated Post
Reports which can then be transferred to our service report for The Twenty and Four.
Thank you for your military service and for your
continued service to our women veterans.

From The Desk of the National Judge Advocate
Patricia Jackson Kelley:
National 20 & 4 Historian
Jeri Strande
Our National Director VIP, Judy Beischel requested that I
serve as your Judge Advocate for the 2011 – 2012 year.
The National Twenty and Four Manual of Procedures identify this role as follows:
Sisters, this year I have the honor of serving as the
National 20 & 4 Historian, a job lots of folks would
“shy away from” but as the Dept of Arizona Historian,
I’m going to give it my best shot! However, I can’t do
it without your help!
The Judge Advocate is an appointed officer and shall:







Render fair and unbiased opinions when advising the
National Officers, Commissions/Committees, and Department/Echelons on all matters relative to the provisions of the Constitution, Bylaws and Articles of Procedure; the Articles of Incorporation; and Robert's Rules
of Order. If an attorney, also advise on legal matters.
Be fully informed as to the National policies and procedures.
Have readily available a copy of the Constitution, Bylaws and Articles of Procedure; the Articles of Incorporation; and Robert's Rules of Order (current revision).
Review all Department and Echelon Constitution and
Bylaws and their revisions and/or amendments to ensure that they do not violate the National Constitution,
Bylaws and Articles of Procedure.
Maintain a file of the National Constitution, Bylaws and
Articles of Procedure (including unincorporated amendments); the Articles of Incorporation; and all Department and Echelon Constitutions and Bylaws, and turn
this file over to the new Judge Advocate within 45 days
after the Bivouac.
Prepare an article for the "National JEEP" when advisable to contact all Jeepettes on parliamentary matters.
Perform such other duties as are incident to the office.
I have not been provided any prior materials. In order that
we are organizational compliant, I am requesting a copy of
each Echelon and Department Constitution, Bylaws, and
Articles of Procedure (including unincorporated amendments), the Articles and Incorporated.
Please read the fifth bulleted item. If there has been a
change, I am requesting your assistance to accomplish this
mission. I currently have a copy of Echelon 1's Bylaws.
Here Comes the JUDGE!!
Of course it’s rewarding to have the National Director
to come and take part in one of your echelon events
(one that will take many hours of planning on
someone’s part) and when it happens, I’d love to see
and hear about it. The more information I receive, the
better I like it and frankly, that means I can do a bangup job for our National VIP, Judi.
I’ve asked Judi to provide me with a calendar of her
scheduled visits to include the name of the point of
contact, email address and phone number. That way, I
can get the facts and the credit straight – there’s nothing more upsetting to folks than to have their name
spelled wrong or identified with an erroneous title!
I love my computer so the best way to contact me is
via email at: [email protected] and I check it almost everyday. It’s a quick and less expensive way
for you to communicate your event and photos to me.
If you’re expecting a visit from the National VIP,
please keep my information handy, cause more likely
than not, if you don’t contact me, I’ll be contacting
you!
Echelon 40—CA
Ann Marie Brown
I would like to include a note in the Jeep thanking the
Jeepettes, who attended the Brawley Meeting and
supported us wholeheartedly Janet Wilson arrived
early and stayed the course and Bonnie Rodriquez and
Janet arrived loaded with cookies. JoAnn and Iral Evans provided and transported many of the raffle items.
Josephine Thomas, Cheryl Stewart, and Annette
Grimsley supported the function, and Eileen Barton
our wonderful friend from District 25 Auxiliary donated. As always we had tremendous support from the
Legion members and S.A.L. and Auxiliary, Our Legion Family in Action!
The proceeds from our "Sweet Treat Event " enabled Echelon 40 to add $400 to our Women Veterans
program supporting programs for women in the V.A.
facilities. God Bless our Legion Family.
