May 6, 2012 Letter from the President

This is an update on the progress of the installation and Steel Dedication.

 I am happy to report that things are progressing right on schedule. The steel was delivered to Boy

lston and prepared for its final resting place. The plaque is on order and will be ready to go, and the Marble blocks are ready to take a trip from Vermont to Massachusetts.

What we NEED TO KNOW is how many people are planning on attending? We need to have a head count so that we have enough food for everyone. So please go to the steel dedication page and register. If you are coming as a chapter all you need to do is give us the number planning on attending. (Just one time will do it) PLEASE SIGN IN BY JUNE 1.2012

OUR MISSION STATEMENT

• To promote motorcycle safety.
• To project a positive image of motorcycling.
• To enjoy the Community of FireFighters.

To engage exclusively in social, charitable and educational activities directed at increasing the general understanding of, enjoyment of, competency, sportsmanship and participation in the sport of Motorcycling.

See our current Chapters and MALs located on a Map

We are a club for members of the fire service, and their families, who enjoy riding motorcycles.

Membership is open to all firefighters; active, retired, volunteer, professional or industrial, who have access to a motorcycle and hold a valid motorcycle driver's license.  These three items are the only requirements for membership.   An individual's purchase of

the Red Knights Patches is not a requirement of membership.  If a member chooses to purchase any Red Knight patch, the patch belongs to the member and not the Club nor the Chapter.

In the Red Knights International Firefighters Motorcycle Club®, there is no probationary period nor "earning" of patches.  The right to become an Active member and to wear our patches is earned by being or having been a Firefighter.  When a person joins a Chapter or becomes an MAL, they immediately have full membership rights and may purchase and wear any of the Red Knights® regalia.

Spouses, partners, members' children, significant others, brothers/sister and parents are welcome as Junior or Social Members.

At present, a minimum of seven firefighters are required to Charter a new Chapter but we have hundreds of Members-At-Large.
