Ladies Auxiliary of the FRA

Who We Are

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. 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.

What Do We Do?

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.
