I and all members of Post xxxxx look forward with the comradery and mutual support we will have together well into the future.

If you decide to fill out the questionnaire, we will use the data you provide to steer our future membership campaigns in a direction that will bring on new members such as yourself as well as learning what types of national and/or local programs are important to our members.

Dear Mr./Ms. (Insert Name),
Comrade! I hope this letter finds you and your family in good spirits. The reason I am writing is because it is that time of year again for you to renew your annual membership with the VFW and Post xxxxx. Renewing your membership will go a long way in helping the National VFW and our Post meet its goals of supporting our fellow veterans as well as the many community programs and scholarships.
I would also like to invite you to “upgrade” your membership from Annual to Life. Doing so will save you membership fees as well as the hassle of renewing annually. Please note that for your convenience there are two payment plans if you decide to become an Annual member. You can either make the payment in full or take advantage of the installment plan that spreads the payments over a 12-month period. You can either contact me for details on becoming a life member or visit the website http://www.vfw.org/Life/.
In case you are not aware of the good work our Post has accomplished over the past year, I have enclosed our Post’s flyer that outlines how we support the National VFW as well as our Posts local programs.
You will also see enclosed a questionnaire that I request you fill out. Filling out and submitting this questionnaire is absolutely voluntary.

I would like to thank you in advance for renewing your membership with the VFW and our Post. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.
