Chairperson
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 entrhusiasm 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."
