What does your membership mean to you?
In the Oxford dictionary membership means “being a member” number of members, or a body of members. The most important meaning we can give to the word “membership”, within our Ladies’ Auxiliary is to build a body of members dependent on one another.
The Ladies Auxiliary support their branches by fundraising (i.e. bake sales, meat draws, bingos etc). They also support the Command Bursary, Hospital and Mixed Sports Projects.
Types of Membership We have seven categories of Membership: Ordinary, Associate, Voting Affiliate, Non-Voting Affiliate, Life, M.S.A. and Palm Leaf.
Responsibility of Auxiliary Members
It is the responsibility of every Member to attend meetings as regularly as circumstances will permit.
