ATTENTION, MEMBERS:
VFW Auxiliary National Line Officers will NEVER email you asking for your financial/banking information, to purchase gift cards, to wire them money, to complete ACH transfers or to make donations to them directly. These are SCAMS.

If you receive an email from a Line Officer that seems suspicious, first check to make sure that the email address of the person reaching out exactly matches their email address in the Directory. Look for tricks, like a capital i (I) used instead of an l (lower case L) in words like Auxiliary (AuxiIiary looks just like Auxiliary, doesn't it? But that first one has an upper case i/I instead of a lower case l/L). Additionally check for any misspellings of the Line Officer's name or a suspicious email service provider.

Any time you are asked for money, gift cards or banking information via email, social media, text message or other electronic means from anyone unexpected, STOP. This is likely a scam.

To check, contact that person directly in person or by phone - not text - only at the number in MALTA and/or in your Directory (if the request seems to come from Headquarters or a National Line Officer, reach out to National Headquarters by telephone and we will route your call to the appropriate person).

Lastly, please do NOT post photos of check donations online that show the bank account number and routing number on the bottom. It is not safe to share this information on the internet. Making a fake check is easier than it seems like it should be. Don't make yourself an easy victim!

Good Morning Auxiliary members!
It’s THAT time of the year, the time that the auxiliary treasurers have to start buckling down, sending multiple letters, emails, and text messages, and collecting the annual dues, it is not our favorite time of year, but it is an essential one. Not only do the dues help pay for essential programs, but only a small portion stays at your local auxiliary. Your Auxiliary Treasurer sends part of each member’s dues to the Department and Dept sends some up to the National level. The dues are used on those levels to help support the National home and the VA hospitals and to help support other auxiliaries so please please pay your dues.
To make this easier, you can use your membership number to sign in to Malta
And pay them online or pay them at your local auxiliary.

Thank you so much for all you do
We appreciate all that you do for veterans and your local community without you we simply couldn’t make it all work!!

VFW AUXILIARY 9103 recently lost Mrs. Nancy Barney. She was a long time member that dedicated many years to our auxiliary and our post. She was also a dear loved member of the MOCA 8. She worked hard for veterans and our community. She will be truly missed by the brothers and sisters of both Auxiliaries and the Post members that proudly served the community alongside her.
She was the wife of VFW Post 9103 member Ron Barney. We will keep their Family and friends in our prayers.

Sister Anna Holm is an honorary member of VFW Post 9103 Auxiliary NC and a Beloved member of MOCA 8. She is loved beyond measure and will be missed so very much. Our hearts and prayers go out to her family and friends.

Anna Holm update

VFW Department of NC Auxiliary President June-September 2025

It is with heavy heart that I relay the message that Anna passed today.

The family will be taking Anna back to Pennsylvania in a few days.

I ask that you please keep Anna’s family in your thoughts and prayers.

Cards can be sent to the family in care of Anna’s niece.

Sharing my favorite picture I took of her during the National Presidents visit last year. She said she never looks good in pictures then I showed her this one and she said "Wow! that is a great picture of me". Yes it is!

Thank you Anna for all you have done for veterans and their families all these years. - Alecia
