Organized in 1930, the Ladies Auxiliary of the Fleet Reserve
Association (LA FRA) is chartered to aid, assist and promote all matters
pertaining to welfare, social, and patriotic works of the Fleet
Reserve Association , its members and their families. Over 200 LA FRA
Units are located throughout the United States and overseas.
There is also a Membership-at-Large (MAL) roll administered by the LA FRA
National Offices, for those who do not have access to, or do not desire to
join a Unit. The LA FRA is proud of the heritage and traditions of this great
nation and we recognize the sacrifices, past and present, needed to keep us
strong and free.
LA FRA plays an active role in the local community by promoting youth
activities, Americanism, and charitable causes. At the national level, LA FRA
funds four annual scholarships and was a major contributor to the building of
our nation's Navy Memorial, located in Washington, D.C.
LA FRA Units sponsor and assist local communities with their memorial
ceremonies and patriotic events. They also participate in social events such
as dances, luncheons, picnics and fund-raising activities. Annual regional and
national conventions, caucuses, workshops, convention tours, shows and
dinner/dances round out many exciting activities available to LA FRA members.
You must be either the wife, mother, grandmother, sister, daughter,
stepdaughter or granddaughter of members of the Fleet Reserve Association; or
widow, mother, grandmother, sister, daughter, stepdaughter or granddaughter of
persons who were members at the time of death or eligible to be members of the
Fleet Reserve Association at the time of death to be eligible for membership
in the LA FRA. All applicants must be at least sixteen (16)
years of age.
