Good information.

On a seperate note...I don't think most people know that you could be a part of our league, as an associate, even if you never served in the Marine Corps. We have several members of our league that are associates are an integral part of what we do. We would not be able to function as effectively as we do without them.

A good read for all of our . Ask yourself the very questions and assess your MCL membership wants, needs, and detachment programming.

Top Reasons Adults Volunteer
1. They have a personal tie to the mission
If volunteers are very concerned about the mission your organization supports, they are going to want to volunteer to feel more connected to that mission.

2. Skill Building
Everyone wants to be well-adversed in a multitude of activities and skills.

3. They would like to involve themselves with diverse groups of people
Sometimes people just want to get out of their comfort zone and their friend group.

4. To be social and make friends
Similarly, people might volunteer to try to make friends.

5. To learn more about the community
Volunteering is a different perspective on the community in which people live.

6. To feel important and motivated beyond their jobs
A lot of people like having a purpose in life and for some people, their life and family are not their purpose.

7. They want to relieve tension
Volunteering is a great mental health activity, there are many studies that show it!

Top Reasons Volunteers Quit
1. They don’t feel inspired
If volunteers aren’t looking forward to volunteering, they might quit.

2. They aren’t making friends or having fun
If volunteers don’t feel friendliness or feel ostracized, they might quit.

3. They feel uneasy or not qualified
If volunteers are not sure what they should be doing, they might quit.

4. They do not feel recognized
If volunteers don’t feel important, they might quit.

5. They are unaware of their impact
If volunteers cannot see their impact, they might quit.

6. They are not given opportunities to do new things in the organization

Please pass to anyone who might be interested in participating or funding somone else in a Land Navigation Fundraiser.

We are having our 1st Annual Land Navigation Course Fundraiser for FOB Rasor at 169 Forest Drive, Richards, Texas on March 2nd. We will be teaching a formal period of instruction on navigating with only a map, protractor, and compass. After the class all participants will attempt to find designated checkpoints in and around the national forest. At these checkpoints they will meet a member of FOB Rasor and learn a little about the members story.

People can participate themselves or they can sponsor a Boy Scout, Girl Scout or JROTC student to participate (The Scouts and JROTC reward their members for land navigation knowledge).

Any help you could give in getting the word out would be greatly appreciated. Below is the sign up link and we can provide any other information needed. Please let me know if you have any questions.
