Get those unpaid lists from your Post Quartermaster.  (Quartermaster you can find those lists on VFW e-membership.) Form calling teams and call comrades on the list and ask them to come back to the best Veterans organization in the free world.  Go pick up their dues if they can’t bring them in.  If they actually can’t afford to pay their dues use money from your relief funds. Get your Post Recruiter and your Post Service Officer and set up a recruiting booth in town.  If you have left over Buddy Poppies take those along with you. Let your local newspaper, radio and TV stations know and have a notice put in your church bulletins.  The VFW is having a membership drive.  . We are asking each Post to get a minimum of five (5) new or reinstated members during the month of August. Once this is accomplished you are well on your way to becoming an All State Post. While you are out there, ask every veteran you talk to whether he or she has filed for VA benefits.      If they haven’t or if it’s been a long time since they filed, fill out a referral form and let them know one of our VFW Service Officer will call them in a few days.  The only thing keeping you from being successful is YOU. Recruiting, retention and Veterans Service all in one package.  We can make it happen if we work together!
