Alpha Recon Association Tax Exempt Approval
After much great effort by Don Schwinn and George
Neville, a difficult and tedious process has resulted in the approval of Alpha
Recon Associationճ
application for tax exempt status as a 501 C (19) War Veterans Association. I
am sure that many of us wonder how this affects us our relationship with the
3rd Recon Assn.
This tax exempt status allows us our own financial
stand alone status as an organization. We are and will remain members of 3rd
Recon Assn. We will be nothing more than an organization within an
organization. The only administrative change is that we no longer report any
financial data to the Battalion Assn. We individually are still members with
all rights and privileges as before. I would hope and expect that we all
continue to involve and participate in all Battalion reunions and business. We
can discuss this in more detail in Reno.
Again let me thank Don and George for the hard
work that was required for this approval. I look forward to a great reunion in
Reno and donմ hesitate
to call if you have any questions.
Semper Fidelis my Brothers!!
Ray Raymond

Granting Financial Assistance:
Resolution 2013-01
Granting Financial Assistance:
This resolution is intended to document a process for granting
assistance to a Member and Spouse (or other family member), approved on
11/9/2013 prior to the business meeting held that day. Assistance is intended
to be a waiver of the Reunion Registration Fee, but could include other
assistance such as Hotel and/or Travel in certain serious situations. Alpha
Recon Association (ARA) has established an on-going fund (from prior
donations) to provide assistance to help members attend our ARA
reunion(s). A member or officer (becomes aware of) may determine that without
assistance, they would not have the financial capability to attend.
The Officer involved will then become the ADVOCATE and inform the
other officers of ARA of the situation. It is not intended to be "Means
tested", but "Common Sense" will apply. The Advocate will the
seek approval of all of the Officers of ARA and 100% approval is
required. OBVIOUSLY, the communication related to this request/grant must
remain strictly confidential. The officers involved would be the current
President, Vice President, Treasurer, Secretary, and Sgt. of Arms. Approval
e-mail will document this process and the caretaker of this approval will
reside in the Treasurer's Reunion file.
Approval 09/11/13 at New Orleans, LA
