This year we will be “Ringing In Membership”. Our members are the most important part of our organization. Without them, we cannot help our Veterans and work our programs. This year our members are Clappers! Let’s recruit, retain and celebrate our members across our great state and in our communities and Ring Bells for Service! #RingYourBell
