MEMBERSHIP APPRECIATION DAY
This is an event put on by the Freedom Riders Chapter to show its appreciation to its member ship. The event would consist of a Poker Run/Bike Show/Lady Freedom Riders contest.
Any member of the Chapter gets in free of charge, this includes new members, renewals and transfers the day of the event. We will have a current membership list that we will go by and any new, renewed, or transfer that day will be completed at signup of run. If they are not on the list or have brought membership up to date then have to pay $25.00 to attend event. All non members will also have to pay $25.00 to attend event. The money made from non members sign up fee will go to the Freedom Riders Christmas for Kids, Adopt A Soldier and the Back to School programs. All new members and transfers will be on a list to be read at the awards event later that evening. This helps us old farts get to know them better.
The Bike Show is with the Poker Run in that each person will get a piece of paper that they will use for their Poker hand, but will also have a place to write their vote for the persons bike for the appropriate class consisting of Custom/ Stock/ Sportster/ Trike/ and Peoples choice. Five classes, one winner in each category receives a trophy. The only rule is that the bike has to be on the entire run.
Lady Freedom Rider Contest
Rule # 1 You must be a female and a member of this Chapter
Rule # 2 You must be on the run and attend the awards
Rule # 3 Everyone on the Run votes, it will be on the paper you already have for the run
On the Bike Show and Lady contest winner, would like to see picture and name in the newsletter. Each month after, have on of the Bike show winners pictured in the paper along with a feature as to who owns it, who built it if other than stock, who painted it, make model and year. They won it let them brag on it.
Will have Band, Food, Drinks and 0/100 raffles.
