Post 3 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.

Up Coming Raffles
June Poker Run Raffle's
Hello Members!! If you missed last week's meeting, then you haven't seen the quilt we will be raffling off at the Poker Run. That's right, we're doing 2 Raffles this year! I've attached a picture of the Quilt top and a flyer about the raffle. A special thank you goes to Vice Commander Jerry's wife (Linda) and daughter for making this beautiful quilt!

We will have tickets for both raffles at Star City Motorsports Customer Appreciation event this weekend (April 28th and 29th). Feel free to stop out and check out tickets to sell. The full sized Battle Flag will also be on display. That's one part of our main raffle.
