........................................Note from the Secretary.......................................................................

 

     Police Officers generally don't like change unless it's the paycheck going up. The chapter is experiencing some changes and some challenges as we wonder about things like the Bristol race fund raiser, club offices, how to budget the clubs funds and maintain a positive direction. In the upcoming months, please join together as a club, a fraternal group of brothers, Friends and fellow riders, lets all try to maintain a positive outlook and help one another whenever possible. Let us remember that we are a family organization and we all need to do our part to make the fellowship time at the meetings and events as enjoyable as possible.   Thanks, Bud....
