VFW Post 1093 Membership Contest

Background

VFW Post 1093 is like many VFW Posts.  The VFW in turn is like many veterans organizations.  Our biggest challenge is recruiting new members.  Common misconceptions are well known:
  • Just a barroom
  • Members are too old
  • It doesn't help the community
  • I'm too busy
  • etc.
We all know them well.  And many posts, like Post 1093 have undertaken recent veteran outreach initiatives and active involvement in the community.  We have a great story to tell, but we need to connect with potential veterans.

So in keeping with the vigor and leadership for which Post 1093 is known we are undertaking a contest which we believe will generate broad interest.  We are soliciting suggestions for ways to identify new potential members and introduce them to the VFW.  We will be happy to share the list which we collect with other veterans organizations which share similar ideals of service to veterans, their families and the community.   We will announce winners at the conclusion of the contest and will provide instructions on how to request the list.

Suggestions may be submitted by posting on our Post Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/groups/277313145293/ or by email to recruiting@vfwpost1093.com.  Please include your name, email address and cell phone number so that we can contact you if you are a prize winner.
