Memorial Day Parade

On Monday, April 25th I’m calling the Post Commander at the New Paltz VFW Post No. 8645. I’m telling him that The Blue Knights New York Chapter XIV would be honored to participate in the Memorial Day Parade and will provide a contingent of at least ten (10) members to honor and support those who have served before as well as those who are still serving to protect our country. Formation will be at 5:30 PM at the corner of Main St.

Spring President’s Meeting

It’s going to be May 7th at the Ramada Inn in Newburgh. It would be great to have a good showing of NY XIV members. No physical work involved. You will be needed on Friday evening after 1730 hrs when other members/guests arrive and most of the day on Saturday. You don’t have to spend the whole day there. We have enough members that if everyone strolled through wearing their BK Colors it would be impressive! Not a repeat, just another reminder!!!!!

Bike Blessing

Held by Blue Knights NY XI at the Woodbourne QWL Building on Sunday 5/1/11. $20 per person includes breakfast and BBQ.

Chapter XIV By-Laws

The proposed changes to the Chapter By-Laws had their third reading at the April meeting. There was no opposition by the members present at the meeting after this third and final reading so the proposed changes will be written and sent to the International for approval.

 

Meet & Greet

There is a suggestion by Carl that we hold a function of some type at the Walden VFW to afford the members who might not often see each other a chance to meet. The dinner would be FREE to the member and a guest. There would be a cash bar for alcohol. Carl has laid some groundwork with the VFW and the menu is open from pasta to chicken and beyond. The only thing is that we would have to give a commitment of a minimum number of people to the VFW. What is needed from the membership is your input.

We need the members who do not have access to a computer to contact a board member and voice their opinion on whether or not to go forward with this function as well as an opinion of when to have it. As often as I ask the non computer members to contact me, only one member ever does on a consistent basis.

Please contact any board member at the bottom of this newsletter with your thoughts. Since this was in the last newsletter, I have heard the opinion of about ten members. Where are the other 37????

An Idea

At the April 21st meeting, a member suggested that we start a fundraiser that would support a charity in Orange County NY. It might be a charity that helps kids in some way but what this member has in mind is that this effort would be an annual endeavor and that the Blue Knights XIV name would be always be connected with this charity.  Any ideas?
