A SAMPLE STRATEGY TO “SHOOT THE GAP”
Let’s say we’re In February – Department Membership Report shows District 99 Needs Assistance
Would this be a good time for a Membership Drive/District Revitalization?YES!
Think about launching multiple-contact methods at the same time
Renewal#4 Just Hit the Streets (Email & Direct Mail) LET’S PIGGY-BACK ON THAT!
Send another Email to those in the selected area? SURE – THEY WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU!
Organize local leadership & members for a phone bank? YES!

TELL THEM YOUR STORY : SAMPLE EMAIL• Greetings Fellow Legionnaire: • We have received notification from your State Headquarters Post of The American
Legion that you are eligible for transfer to a local Post. As the Commander of American Legion Post 999, I would like to extend an invitation for you to join us. We are a growing service oriented Post, and would be thrilled to count you as one of our members.• I need you to join us, and be a part of what we do to help veterans and their families
in Central Indiana.• Some of what we do consists of participating in, and presenting colors at various
events as well as educating students in the local schools on flag etiquette. We obtain temporary financial assistance for veterans’ families facing eviction or behind on utility payments, and assist with preparing and pushing claims with the Veterans Administration (VA).
Success Stories
• Very Active Programs – California, Alabama, Georgia, Kansas, Colorado,
Illinois, Tenn.• Just to name a few
• Observation: – All Departments are working their HQ Members– IT WORKS!
