Membership Committee

Purpose: To strengthen, grow, and sustain the membership of the National Society by fostering meaningful, engaging, and enjoyable experiences for members. 

Program: Find ways to recruit and retain C.A.R. members and highlight the benefits of joining C.A.R. 

Ideas for possible activities: 

1. Visit nearby DAR, SAR and S.R. chapters and use N.S.C.A.R. presentations and brochures to talk about the benefits of C.A.R. 

2. Have a fun and appealing meeting for members, personally inviting members who have not been active. 

3. Invite members of other patriotic, youth, leadership, or lineage organizations to come to a C.A.R. event. 

4. Celebrate new members with the special America 250 certificate! 

5. Invite members from other societies to join your local meeting or hold a joint meeting with another society. 

6. Hold a C.A.R. meeting at a community event or host your own to commemorate America 250! 

7. Assign a mentor for each new member and senior to welcome them and enhance their C.A.R. experience. These are just SOME ideas for possible activities for this contest. We encourage and would like to see you create something new and exciting with your society for your submission.
