We have been busy riding lately. We have been putting some serious miles on the bikes in all kinds of weather.
We had our monthly meeting on Friday 6 June with final details completed on the Poker run. We have had donations from many sources and we will write up a note thanking all our generous sponsors.
Colonel, Pokey, King, Kye, Jazzman and his lovely wife went to Rolling Thunder Memorial Day weekend. The event went very well and we managed to get our pictures in the Washington Post local edition and webpage on the 26th of May.
On 7 June we went to Post 16 Slatington 2nd Annual Poker Run. We ran into that ALR chapter's President, Denise, VP Bob and enjoyed the stops (all Bars) and the VFW in Whitehall. Colonel actually ended up winning something in the Chinese Auction and we enjoyed the camaraderie. Colonel, Pokey, Seaweed and Diane, King and Kye and $ went on the ride.
On 8 June we went on a run up to the Wilkes-Barre VA with Combat Veteran's Motorcycle Association PA Chapter 22-1 Run for VETs. We thank Karen H. and her Real Estate firm for a spectacular donation of socks and other stuff for the Vets. We were very well received and the donations made a real difference to the recipients who were profuse with their appreciation. Colonel, Pokey, King, Seaweed were the rider’s representing for our Post. CVMA did a great job organizing the event and getting access to the facility. A very worthwhile trip.
Of course I want to remind everyone of our posts events
