Subject: Public Relations: Getting the JWV Word Out
- Public Relations goes hand-in-hand with membership
- Participation in local and civic functions gets publicity and gets posts recognized in the community
- Posts need to seek publicity; can't wait for others to do it for us
- Events like Israel's 60th birthday celebrations are a good way to get recognition for Post activities
- Encourage membership by getting members involved in public activities
- Help to give others, especially younger people, a reason to join
- Some posts are allocating funds to get younger people to join
- Should join with other veterans' groups for publicity and to find new JWV members
- Good publicity to wear JWV caps and vests while participating with VAVS activities
