Online Procedure to Verify and Report Deceased Members for DoF and for Chapters.
This
is the online procedure for Chapters and the Department to follow to verify that all its
deceased members are correctly accounted for in the DoF Deceased
Members Listings, and that the Association
membership database is thereby up to date, Click on snippet to view;
click on link at bottom to activate the procedure.
- To retrieve deceased members for the Department of Florida,
click the solid arrow in the "State:" field,
select "Florida," and then click
Search. You will then get the complete file of Florida members who have
been reported as deceased. (Note: hit the Back Arrow to return
to the DoF website.)
- DoF Chapters are encouraged to check their deceased
member roster this same way. Just enter your Chapter number in
"Chapter #: and hit Search. It is not
essential for Chapters to file any reports with the DoF as all information is
contained in the member database.
- Note that there
is a printer friendly option to print the results, which may be
multiple pages. However, printing is not recommended.
- Check the list
for the names of members that you know have passed away. If they
are already shown in the retrieval list then you need do nothing.
- If they are not on the list, then please advise the
Membership Office, who will then
change that member's record to deceased. You should also report
the date of death. You may reach the membership office at:
membership@kwva.org or KWVA Membership,
PO Box 407, Charleston, IL 61920-0407.
- There is a double reason or benefit for doing it this way:
a) it is much easier for the Department to maintain its
"deceased members file," and b) it helps ensure that the Graybeards does
not continue being sent after a member passes away, i.e., it
helps maintain the Association base. (Otherwise Life Members
will often fail to be reported for years and years and the
Association incurs the extra costs of mailing the Graybeards.)
- Either the Department or any Chapter may at any time obtain a copy of their deceased members by this procedure.
