Organized in 1930, the Auxiliary of the Fleet Reserve Association is chartered to aid, assist, and promote all matters pertaining to the welfare, social, and patriotic works of the Fleet Reserve Association, its members, and their families. There are Auxiliary units located throughout the United States and the Philippines, and a Membership-at-Large (MAL) roll administered by the National Offices for those who do not have access to, or do not desire to join, a unit.
The Auxiliary 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.
The Auxiliary plays an active role in the local community by promoting youth activities, Americanism, and charitable causes. At the national level, the Auxiliary funds four annual scholarships and was a major contributor to the building of our nation's Navy Memorial in Washington, D.C.
Our units sponsor and assist local communities with their memorial ceremonies and patriotic events. They also take part 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 members.
Membership is open 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 of persons who were members at the time of death.
Members belong either to a local unit or to the Membership-at-Large roll - each member selects the category they desire. See How to Join for details.
