Programs Reporting: 31 January is the deadline to complete Program Reports for the six-month period that ended 31 December 2009.

AMVETS JROTC/ROTC Medal Program: Spring is the time that requests start rolling in for the AMVETS JROTC/ROTC Medal Award program. Please get your orders in to the QM if your supplies are low. The National Programs office refers all requests for Medals to the respective departments. Your 2nd VC or JROTC Chairperson should be the point of contact to secure and deliver/mail the Certificates and Medals to the schools/JROTC/ROTC units making the requests. Also, if possible, the objective is to schedule an AMVETS member that can personally attend the Awards programs and present the Awards. Our National Programs Department covers down on the requests for our unorganized states/departments.

Homeless Veterans Stand Downs 2010: From the link provided by our National Partner, the National Coalition for Homeless Veterans, you have the ability to determine if your Post and/or Department have an “opportunity” to support in your local area. You can revisit this link periodically because it is updated as additional dates are determined. http://www.nchv.org/standdownevents.cfm
