The Legion Riders met as scheduled on Sunday the 15th of April. No significant business was presented. Membership including late members was recorded by the Secretary/Tresurer.
Our president was a winner of one of the Longaberger Raffle tickets—He had the road Captain put the basket back up for another drawing to raise additional funds for the ALR and to share part of the proceeds with Al Galiski for medical expenses. (Al approached the legion for a charity for his deceased Grandaughter’s medical care bills and thus the provision for a portion of the funds. We will be conducting the drawing for the basket once all tickets are sold. You can help sell the tickets when your in the club or elsewhere – the basket is on top of the Bar.
The next month's meeting is scheduled for 19 May, after all the flags are put out on the cemeteries. (20 activity points). Meet at the club at 11 am. Also if you know of anyone who need community service hours, this event can help them toward those needed hours (we will provide a certificate for those who need it). All are welcomed and encouraged to participate.
Everyone should have your Membership cards –lost or missing your card for 2007, contact Terri Krecker.
We also left some additional ALR flyers at the club for placement at other legions - they have tear away sheets for contacting us via the ALR webpage. With the warmer weather we should get out and post some flyers at other legions. (Update - we posted flyers at Hellertown, Allentown Sumner St, Fullerton, Hoqendauqua, Northampton, Bath, Nazareth, Easton Brown and Lynch and Lester-pfeffer.)
Reminder; Membership standing rules have been drafted requiring active participation to remain a member in good standing. The Secretary Treasurer is recording participation by members.
