WHY JOIN NARFE?
The shortest answer to why a retired federal employee, or their survivors, should join NARFE is that not joining ensures that NARFE will shrivel and die. If NARFE dies, retired federal employees and their survivors will not have a place at the "table of power". Politicians are always looking for sources of money and, all else being equal, will take it from the politically weak or un-alert. In other words, if NARFE is allowed to shrivel and die, there will be no organization at the table of power with the mission of preserving our earned benefits.
