We
are the American Legion Auxiliary, Unit 186 in
Midlothian, Virginia. Our membership
consists
of women whose sons, husbands, fathers,
grandfathers, daughters, mothers and
grandmothers have served in the military during
war time. We invite you to review our website,
come on down and visit our facility, download an
application, and consider joining our
organization. We work together in supporting the
aims and goals of the American Legion and
numerous charitable and cause worthy
organizations by conducting various fundraising
campaigns and special events. We have a lot of
fun and it's a great opportunity to meet other
women in the area and get involved with making a
difference.
TEN
ATTITUDES AND BASIC INGREDIENTS FOR GROWTH
DESIRE -
We have to want
our Unit to grow. It's not going to accidentally take place. We have
to really believe in it and be willing to pay the price.
VISION
We need to be able to
have a dream and goals to shoot at.
ATMOSPHERE
We must be mood makers.
The life of our Unit will be determined largely by the kind of mood
set. The spirit of friendliness and enthusiasm is crucial.
STONG LEADERSHIP
We cannot build a great
organization with weak leadership. Our organization's influence should
broaden, year after year. Tehre is a definite link between strong
leadership and the growth in any organization.
ACTION ORIENTATION
People have to be
involved. Diversities of talents make a healthy organization.
PLANNING AND SETTING
GOALS
We must be reaslistic,
and we must start with the basics. With definite goals in mind, we then
need to outline procedures to reach those goals. It is very easy to
drift into discord, so we need to plan our work, and work our plan.
UNITY
Unity is absolutely
essential. It is imperative to convince the Unit tha tthe need is htere
and we will be doing something about it.
DELEGATION
We multiply ourselves by
delegating responsibility. No delegation - stagnation.
PRAISE
If someone has done a
good job, praise will boost them to even greater service.
PERSISTENCE
We must stay on it,
witout giving up. "Kites rise aganist the wind." "Failure is no the
same as final."
