Recruit for membership in public places

“I like to reflect on members of a local post (in Georgia) that I see at grocery stores and Wal-Mart all the time. They set up a table, wear their Legion gear and share The American Legion story with veterans and their families in front of these facilities. The non-members all look interested in learning about The American Legion. It always results in membership.

"Getting outside of your post to recruit is key. Get involved in your community, share The American Legion story, and wear your Legion cap and apparel. Show pride in your organization. People like to belong to organizations that are successful, and we are successful.”
