How to Join
We'd love to welcome you. Here's how to get started:
Reach out to us. The easiest first step is simply getting in touch. Stop by a meeting, give us a call, or send us a message using the contact form below. We're happy to answer any questions.
Gather a little information. You'll need basic details about the veteran in your family — their branch of service and when they served. A copy of their DD-214 discharge papers is helpful but not always required.
Complete a membership application. We'll provide you with an application and help guide you through it. It's straightforward, and we're here to help every step of the way.
Pay your annual dues. Annual dues are modest and go directly toward supporting the programs and services our unit provides to veterans, military families, and the Sackets Harbor community.
Show up and get involved. Once your application is approved, you're one of us. Come to meetings, volunteer at events, and become part of something meaningful right here in your own backyard.
Why Join?
The Sackets Harbor American Legion Auxiliary is more than an organization — it's a community. Our members volunteer their time to support veterans at local hospitals, advocate for military families, invest in youth programs, and give back to the village we all call home.
When you join, you honor the service of your family member while making a real difference for veterans and families in the North Country. No military experience required — just a heart for service and a connection to someone who answered the call.
