Reserve Forces Resource Fair
Grand Prairie Armed Forces Reserve Comples
September 17, 2022

American Legion Texas Twelfth District

1st Division manned an awareness booth at the TWS Reserve Forces Resource Fair held in Grand Prairie TX on Sept 17th, 2022.

The event lasted only 5 hours, but during that time, we talked to a bazillion Army, Navy and Marine Reserve service members. Perfect!

After all, our new target demographic is newly minted veterans, and these resource fairs are a natural organic way to put our brand in front of truly interested young men and women who will need our programs. Not a bad day, either, we signed up 3 new Legionnaires!

(Participating from 1st Division were Dave Etter, Commander Dist 12; Tom Marty, State Vice Commander; Tom Arista, 5th District SAL, PDC of SAL Detachment of Texas; Janie Arista, 1st Division President Dept of TX Auxiliary; Tynetta Runnels, Adjutant Dist 5; Ken Cox, Historian 12th District; W.S. Turner, Commander District 5)

- Dave Etter, 12th District Commander, 1st Division, Department of Texas
Also in attendance were Myrtle Johnson-Auxiliary and Gerald Dupree- Post 581 Commander from 5th District and Barbara Stykes - 12th Dist Auxiliary President
