All of our members are volunteers who come from many walks of life. Members are located throughout the United States. We have a number of Chapters, the largest being North San Diego County, California; St. Louis, Missouri; and Kentucky.


You may wish to contact the chapter leader in your area for more information:

If there is no chapter in your area, you may want to form a new chapter. Consult the LOAL Chapter Guidelines to find out what's involved in forming a chapter.

We have many individual members through out the country who are not affiliated with a formal chapter. We do not require volunteers to be a part of a chapter.
