National Commander's Challange

For the month of January, the Chief will award a $1,000 stipend to the Post in each Division that brings in the most Reinstated members from January 1 through January 31. Ask your Post QM for an unpaid members list!

State Commander's Message

"Happy New Year to all! As we enter 2021, the Commander-in-Chief has asked us to focus once more on bringing former members back into the fold. For the month of January, we will be awarding a $1,000 stipend to the Post in each Division who brings in the most Reinstated members from January 1 through January 31. Post Quartermasters can use the Find Unpaid Members query under the “Reporting” tab to get contact information for a Post’s lapsed members and then make some phone calls or emails and work on bringing these members back. Think of it like a built-in prospect list for every VFW Post!"
