What do we do?
We encourage our members to do whatever they can to help with their local SAR chapter activities.

The LAALSSAR also supports the National Ladies Auxiliary through providing baskets and donations for their fundraisers, by participating in their projects, by selling and purchasing their cookbook. The money that is raised by the national auxiliary goes to the SAR Center for the Advancement of American Heritage.
When do we meet?
The LAALSSAR meets 3 times per year: in February, at the State SAR Convention; in May, at the spring Board of Managers Meeting; in Oct., at the fall Board of Managers meeting.
Who can be a member?
Membership in the Auxiliary is open to female relatives and female supporters of members of the ALSSAR who are in good standing or were at the time of their death. We welcome any wives, daughters, mothers, sisters, etc. to become active members of the LAALSSAR.
What are the Membership dues?
Membership dues are only $5.00 per year. Members of the LAALSSAR are automatically members of the National Ladies Auxiliary organization.
