AUXDATA Advisory

As the calendar year winds down CG-3PCX is keenly aware of the challenges
placed on all Auxiliary units to create year-end reports. At this point last
year, many units overloaded the AUXDATA servers and made it challenging to
obtain reports. The AUXDATA workgroup has created a set of best practices to
assist all units at this time of year:

* Utilize AUXINFO to obtain all information regarding personal hours and
awards. For information on using AUXINFO, go to the "How To" library at
HYPERLINK
"http://home.auxidept.org/howto.htm"http://home.auxidept.org/howto.htm

* Do not run Unit Summary Reports. OSC will run them for you and send out an
excel sheet with everyone's unit information. CG-3PCX will post this
information on the Chief Director's webpage shortly after the New Year.

* If a member needs specific information he or she can contact their unit's
IS officer to determine the most efficient way of obtaining it.

Pentagon Federal Credit Union

In a recent mailing that includes a coupon for Free First Deposit, the
Pentagon Federal Credit Union now offers membership to Auxiliarists. In
addition, their available no-annual fee VISA Platinum Cash Rewards credit
card provides 1% cash back to members as well as 0.25% going to support
Auxiliary programs. Joining the Pentagon Federal Credit Union opens the door
to all of their superior-rated financial services. The previous agreement
with MBNA-BOA for providing members an Auxiliary credit card has expired.
Members who wish to retain that card may do so but MBNA-BOA no longer
provides financial support in support of Auxiliary programs.
