Welcome to the American Legion
Auxiliary Department of Oregon
Oregon is a part of the national organization of the American Legion Auxiliary, founded in 1919.

As the Department of Oregon, we are MISSION DRIVEN. With the strength of our membership exceeding 5,000, we strive daily to help military families cope with the enormous effects of deployment and transition.

We made it over 50% with this report!! Now we need to act like we’re stealing a base and run even faster. Let’s see more of those renewals turned in this week. It’s not too late to hold a membership drive and contact those that haven’t renewed yet. Let them know you care, that they matter, and that their membership is valued.
Congrats to the 3 Units who made the 100% Unit Award goal by November 11, 2022 – Vale #96, Travis Moothart #814, and Carl Douglas #74! Our next goal is for Department to be 75% by Pearl Harbor Day, December 7, 2022. Working together we can do this! Catherine Brockmann; Vice President – Membership
