Benevolence Procedures


The procedures below will be followed to assure flowers, cards or gifts are purchased and delivered:

  • The home county secretary will notify the district association president first, then the district president will contact the Benevolence Committee Chair and treasurer.
  • The Benevolence Committee Chair may opt to purchase the gift or ask the home county to purchase the gift.
  • Cards will be sent by the Benevolence Committee Chair. (The chair will be responsible for keeping all-occasion cards and stamps on hand at all times. These cards and stamps will be passed on to the next Benevolence Committee Chair year after year.)
  • In cases of death, unless the family has stated a preference, memorials will be made instead of sending flowers. The treasurer will be asked by the Benevolence Committee Chair or district president to send a memorial to the designated organization.
  • A standard gift (picture frame, gift certificate, engraved item, etc.) is recommended for retirement, weddings and births. The home secretary can help with these purchases.
  • All bills will be sent directly to the treasurer for payment.
