Membership Barometer
From our American Legion Auxiliary National Membership Chair Tracy Kinnick:
✨ **United for Our Mission!** ✨
Members across the Nation continue to unite with our mission. Your hard work and dedication shine brightly each week as we stretch far and wide! So as our Nation’s birthday approaches, let’s make it a memorable celebration! 🎉
This week let’s aim for everyone to bring in or commit to **one more member**. Here are a few ways you can help:
**Invite someone to a meeting**: Share the experience and encourage others to join our cause.
**Bring them to an event**: Events are a great way to connect and inspire.
**Take a junior and their friends to an event**: Engaging the youth is crucial for our future!
**Make a personal call**: Offer to visit potential members and pick up their dues if they’re busy.
**Reach out to eligible juniors**: Do you know someone in your family who qualifies but isn’t signed up yet?
🔔 **Important Membership Reminder**: If you come across a potential member who was married to a veteran and that veteran has passed, but they are now remarried, they are still eligible for the ALA. Remember, the key point is that the veteran passed while they were married, meaning they were widowed!
Let’s rally together and make a significant impact this week…your efforts truly matter!
“We will fail, when we fail to try.”- Rosa Parks
