Excuses “I don’t have enough members to work membership” “Riders are taking over my post” “If I have more members I have to do more work” “Nobody wants to do anything” “Dues are too high” “Nothing in it for me” “What has the Legion done for me” “My members are too old to do anything”

Top 2 Reasons for non Renewals “They still smoke at the post” “The only time I hear from you is when you want money”

Myths about the Department “Dues go to line someone’s pocket” “ The Department doesn’t help with anything” “The staff doesn’t do anything” “All the Department cares about is money” “1983 members are all ineligible”

What the Department Does Allocates $4,000 for Alabama Temporary Financial Assistance Established Veterans Assistance Line for $12,937 Allocates $16,000 for Gifts To Veterans in all VA facilities Hosts the annual POW/MIA Remembrance Ceremony Maintains The Alabama War Memorial Facilitated over $ 22,105.00 in TFA from National HQ Provides customer service to 150 Posts statewide Monitors bills that go before the AL House and Senate
