VFW POST 6418 RECRUITING EVENT COMING IN THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2026. THOSE WISHING TO ASSIST, CONTACT VFW 6418 COMMANDER. WE MAY ALSO COMBINE THE RECRUITING EVENT WITH A "VETERANS STAND DOWN" WE OFFER THE FOLLOWING VERY PRELIMINARY STRATEGIES FOR GROWTH IN 2026: Community engagement: Post 6418 will focus on community projects and outreach to increase visibility and accessibility for the public and younger veterans. Effective outreach: Post 6418 will use a multi-pronged approach to recruit members, including social media, email, and direct outreach to potential and lapsed members. Emphasizing advocacy and support: Post 6418 will highlight work to advocate for veterans' benefits and help members navigate the VA system, including the PACT Act. Our overall strength, and the area of most outstanding excellence among our current membership, is probably advocacy and support for Veterans. WILL DISCUSS ALL THIS AT UPCOMING MEETINGS AND OTHER OCCASIONS.
