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.
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.
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.
