What is the Ladies Auxiliary ?
Organized in 1930, the
Ladies Auxiliary of the Fleet Reserve Association (LA FRA)
is chartered to aid, assist and promote all matters
pertaining to welfare, social, and patriotic works of the
Fleet Reserve Association , its members and their families.
Over 200 LA FRA Units are located throughout the United
States and overseas.
There is also a Membership-at-Large (MAL) roll administered
by the LA FRA National Offices, for those who do not have
access to, or do not desire to join a Unit. The LA FRA is
proud of the heritage and traditions of this great nation
and we recognize the sacrifices, past and present, needed to
keep us strong and free.
Who Can Be Members ?
Membership in the Ladies Auxiliary of the
Fleet Reserve Association shall be limited to spouses,
parents, grandparents, sisters, brothers, children,
stepchildren and grandchildren not less than 16 years of age
of members of the Fleet Reserve Association and widows,
widowers, parents, grandparents, sisters, brothers,
children, stepchildren and grandchildren not less than 16
years of age of persons who were members at the time of
death or eligible to be members of the Fleet Reserve
Association at the time of death.
What Do We Do ?
LA FRA plays an active
role in the local community by promoting youth activities,
Americanism, and charitable causes. At the national level,
LA FRA funds four annual scholarships and was a major
contributor to the building of our nation's Navy Memorial,
located in Washington, D.C.
LA FRA Units sponsor and assist local communities with their
memorial ceremonies and patriotic events. They also
participate in social events such as dances, luncheons,
picnics and fund-raising activities. Annual regional and
national conventions, caucuses, workshops, convention tours,
shows and dinner/dances round out many exciting activities
available to LA FRA members.
