Why complete forms documenting your activities as an Auxiliary member?
Those of you who missed the January Flotilla meeting missed an excellent presentation on the various forms of interest to all members of the Auxiliary. To ensure that everyone has the opportunity to get a good overview of the use of forms, the presentation can be accessed from here . I encourage each of you to review this information because it is essential if you want to receive credit for the volunteer work you have been donating.
