Emergency Detachment Election Procedures
COVID-19 has impacted everyone's lives,
not only in New York, but worldwide. The Department of New York wants
our members to be safe. If you need assistance, reach out. We ask
Detachments to check on their own members. Even with this crisis, we
are attempting to conduct some of the business of our organization in
these trying times.
National Headquarters has also come up
with emergency procedures for conducting Detachment elections. The
guidance document has been distributed to your Area Vice Commandant for
distribution to their respective Detachments.
Dealing
with this outbreak there may be those who are experiencing distress or
anxiety due to the COVID-19 concerns, please visit the Department of
New York web site at https://www.mclnewyork.net/index.php/covid-19 where we have compiled some resources help get through this pandemic.

Department Raffle
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, guidance from the National
Headquarters and the Executive Order from New York State Governor Cuomo,
Many Detachment activities have been put on hold. Many members have
not been able to participate in the annual Department Raffle. It has
been decided that the drawing will be held at a later date, which will
be announced in the near future. By doing this, as this pandemic
passes, we are hoping that everyone will have more time to participate
in the Department Raffle.
