1. A Brother in Good Standing has sent our National Secretary a respectful request to honor a recently deceased relative with membership in the SUVCW.

2. An applicant's signature on the official application form of our Order is a prerequisite of membership in all categories (Member, Junior, or Associate). Without his signature, a gentleman's application cannot be accepted by any Camp nor any Membership-at-Large at either the Department or National levels of the organization.

3. Therefore, it is the ruling of this C-in-C that the SUVCW will not accept a posthumous application for membership.

Ordered this 15th day of September, 2003.

By Order of:
Kent L. Armstrong
Commander-in-Chief

Attest:
Edward Krieser, PCinC
National Secretary
