Who We Are
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. There are LA FRA Units located
throughout the United States and the Philippines. 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.
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.
Who Can Join? All
applicants must be at least sixteen (16) years of age.
Membership in the Ladies Auxiliary of the
Fleet Reserve Association is 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
