Veteran's Day Parade - November 7, 2009 - Milwaukee, WI
Almost every District, of the Legion Riders, was represented in this year's parade. Thanks to our State ALRA of WI and Department of Wisconsin Chaplains, the Riders had great weather which allowed so many members the opportunity to participate and the community to enjoy watching the parade. The riders were joined by the Blue and Gold Star families along with other guests.

As you will see by the pictures below, the morning started out cool but quickly warmed as the leathers were put into the saddle bags. Everyone had a memorable day.

Annual ALRA of WI Awards Banquet - April 5, 2009 (event photos below)
The third annual ALRA of WI Awards Banquet was held at CJ's in Ripon on April 5, 2009. This event is the only opportunity the Riders from throughout the state can assemble and socialize with one another and share ideas. Attendance was considerably high even though the weather forecast was threatening with a massive snow storm that fizzled. Recognition of new members and the accomplishments of our membership in the previous year is the focus of this event.

New members in attendance all received a Welcome certificate and a State of Wisconsin shaped pin for attending the banquet. The Districts were rewarded for banquet attendance in two categories, the most new members went to Districts 6 & 9 and the District with the most members went to District 4/5. The remaining awards were all based upon individual rider contribution to the organization. Congratulations to all the winners listed below:

District 4/5 gave a power point presentation they utilize when going to area posts recruiting for membership and to inform the Legionnaire's what we're all about. The presentation puts a positive spin on their impression of who we are and what we do versus just being bikers riders.
