Auxiliary of the Fleet Reserve Association

Who We Are
Organized in 1930, the Auxiliary of the Fleet Reserve Association 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. There are Auxiliary Units located throughout the United States and the Philippines. There is also a Membership-at-Large (MAL) roll administered by the Auxiliary National Offices, for those who do not have access to, or do not desire to join a Unit. The Auxiliary 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.

The Auxiliary in the East Coast Region has Units in Maryland, District of Columbia, Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, and Delaware, which are located as follows:  Annapolis Unit 24, Chesapeake Unit 40, Roanoke Unit 41, Ocean View Unit 60, Kempsville Unit 99, Navy Department Unit 181, Triangle Unit 182, and Elizabeth City Unit 293.

What Do We Do?
The Auxiliary plays an active role in the local community by promoting youth activities, Americanism, and charitable causes. At the national level, the Auxiliary funds four annual scholarships and was a major contributor to the building of our nation's Navy Memorial, located in Washington, D.C.
Auxiliary 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 Auxiliary members.
