The question is often asked: “Does our Post need By-Laws?”
The short answer is: “Maybe. Maybe not.” It depends on your Post situation. No Post is truly without By-Laws. In the absence of a specific Post (or District, or County Council) By-Laws, our National By-Laws are sufficient to guide the individual units. They are, in fact, your Post By-Laws in lieu of your Post creating By-Laws of your own.
The Quartermaster’s Monthly Report – What’s required?
March 21, 2010 in Judge Advocate
Dear Judge Advocate:
When our Quartermaster gives his financial report every month, he just states money received, money spent. He always states that if you want to see the complete report, the books are open for you to look at.
Our previous Quartermaster always gave a complete report and it was easy to hear and understand.
Are there any rules or regulations that we, as members, can invoke to make him give a complete report to our satisfaction? A person can’t help but to assume that something might be not on the up and up.
