Blue Knights New York Chapter XIV
January News letter 2011
Think Spring!
It is anticipated that our first Thursday ride of the 2011 season will be April 7th. Some warmer thoughts as we look out at what now looks like a frozen tundra.
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. Mark the date and let me know if you’re coming. You will be needed on Friday afternoon/evening when other members/guests arrive and on Saturday. Look for the flyer on our web site.
Chapter XIV By-Laws
The by-laws that are in place for our chapter have been around since about 1986. It had been proposed that we do away with these by-laws and be guided the by-laws of the Blue Knights International by-laws. After discussion at the January meeting, the proposal to scrap the current by-laws was withdrawn and instead, a committee will meet to go over the current by-laws and propose any changes which could include to the membership at the February meeting. We plan to meet in early February to begin the process. If you would like to take part, contact a board member.
Fundraiser ****UPDATE*****
The March 19th date is not available to me for the defensive driving class. IF YOU HAVE POSTED A FLYER WITH THAT DATE, PLEASE REMOVE AND DESTROY IT.
We will be holding a NYS DMV approved defensive driving course in New Windsor at Louie’s Auto Driving School. This is the six hour course that reduces your collision, liability and PIP portion of your auto insurance by 10% for three years. This will be our chapter
fundraiser; you don’t have to sell anything. This is not
strictly for Blue Knights members and families. Any licensed driver in NYS can attend and receive the insurance discount. Students are required to attend the entire six hour session as required by the DMV. I will email everyone on the list a flyer with more information. You can print out the flyer and post it where you work or play. Again, this class is open to everyone, not just Blue Knight members and seating is limited to 30 students. There will now be a choice of class dates: March 26th or April 2nd.
Welcome!
Our newest member of Chapter XIV is Ronald R. Stringer. Ron is an Honorary member who has already participated with chapter members in various Blue Knight events, chapter meetings and our regular Thursday rides.
