DIRECTOR'S MESSAGE
The New Year brings with it the change in Chapter Officers. I am grateful for your faith and confidence in me to lead our Riders Chapter.
I'd also like to recognize the entire leadership team of our Chapter:
Assistant Director: Erik Miksch
Secretary: Mike Streeter
Treasurer: Lori Gubser
Ride Captain: John Humphrey
Sergeant-at-Arms: Bill Beede
Chaplain: Glen Masek
Together, I am looking forward to another great year of riding with our Chapter.
Work has already begun on our 2025 Rifle Raffle. There are two great sales opportunities coming up, and I am thankful for the assistance of all who have signed up to sell tickets at the gun show in January and the ABATE show in February. Glen Masek and Erik Miksch are your points of contact for raffle tickets, so please contact them when you need tickets. Tickets will be available at our February meeting for signout or sales. If you need, or want, tickets before then, please contact Glen or Erik and they will square you away.
Planning is underway for our Poker Run. We set a date of August 23rd for the event. Current plans have us starting out at Frontier Harley-Davidson, in the main store, and then also finishing up at Frontier in the HOG Pen (same as last year). I'll be working with Ride Captain John on the route. We are tentatively planning on a route that will take us to the North and East of Lincoln.
Until next time,
Ride Safe!
Bruce Gubser

Post 3 American Legion Riders
WHO WE ARE AND WHAT WE DO
We are NOT a motorcycle club!
We are a part of the nation’s largest wartime veteran’s service organization, members of the American Legion “Family” (Legionnaires, Sons and Auxiliary members) who have joined together to ride our motorcycles for fun and fellowship and to remember and dedicate our self to our original purpose. Service to Our Country.
Being a part of the American Legion, the Riders are committed to:
1. Mentoring youth and sponsorship of wholesome programs for them in our communities,
2. Advocating patriotism and honor,
3. Promoting strong national security, and
4. Continued devotion to our fellow service members and veterans.
True to the Legion's grassroots tradition, each local Riders chapter manages its programs at the post level. Annually the Post 3 Riders are part of many projects and events.
