like fellow Coalition pro david Burns of nevada says “strength in numbers”. other ways are (to help) to spread our mission at outings and tournaments, when they can and to support booth operations at shows as i have mentioned earlier.
WB: What are the short and long term goals of aBa out West? Army Bass: Both short and long term goals are tied together. Short term goals are to recruit as many members as we can to support our mission. That recruitment ties into the long term goals. Having a large and stable organization would allow us (to) further our mission and support our non-profits with the resources they need to provide for our veterans that have sacrificed for us.
WB: How much does it cost to join aBa and are there renewal costs? Army Bass: it costs $39.99 to join and $39.99 annually to renew. The member gets a product package and discounts that are equal to or greater than the cost, but most importantly they become members in a great organization that supports all our veterans, regardless of branch of service. For more information in joining
the Coalition or becoming a task Force member go to http://www.armybassanglers.com/. The Coalition pro staff position was created and designed for all active duty, retirees and veterans. The task Force was set up for those individuals that were not in the military, but still have the desire to support our veterans.
WB: What can non aBa members do to help with events like returning Heroes, Purple Heart Veterans, Wounded Warrior tournaments, etc.? Army Bass: Help is greatly needed and appreciated! There are several ways to help -either by joining us in our fight as a Coalition pro staff, or a task Force member. You can also help by donating to our non- profits, returning Heroes Home, Heroes on the Water, and Veteran outdoors. You can purchase our Coalition gear. Proceeds from purchases of our gear go to our non-profits. another way to help is, to help us spread the word about our mission. if you know someone who wants to get involved, send them our way. There is nothing more rewarding than helping out others. and our wounded warriors have given so much of themselves for us, that the least we can do is give back! all the information about us and our non-profits is on our website at www.armybassanglers.com
