National Commander's Challange

For this month’s Commander’s Challenge, the top Post in each Division with the highest increase in total membership percentage between November 1st and November 30th will receive a $1000 stipend deposited into the Post account. We want our Posts to show that they’re reaching out to the community via social media. If the top Post in the Division also shares this post from the official VFW Membership Facebook page (@VFWMembershipHQ) on their Post’s Facebook page, they will receive an extra $200 on top of the $1000 stipend! We want to see our Posts reaching out through every available avenue, to show that we are an active and progressive organization that has 20/20 VISION FOR VETERANS!
