Hello Everyone,
CONGRATULATIONS ON YET ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL "SALUTE TO VETERANS RIDE AND EXPO" Our 9th Annual was a total success!!!
I want to thank everyone that worked together to make our run , one for the books, we blew away previous runs for number of participants and monies received! and tee shirt sales also broke records.
I know how much had to be done to accomplish the task at hand, the food, getting needed components, the set-up, the number of items needed to put on a event of this size and the commitment of the membership. You have raised the bar once again and shown to all what can be done when we all work together.
Every person I spoke to had a great time, and had nothing but praise for the membership. The 2nd Aviation Detachment did anything they could to help us out and it was really appreciated.
Between the DC Tee Shirt Sales and our run, we have enough in the treasury to do a lot of good for a lot of good people, we just have to find those who need help and do what we can for them.
There were some glitches that have to be addressed and they will be ironed out before the next "Salute to Veterans Ride and Expo" our 10th! but considering the amount of work and coordinating that had to be done, it was a great event.
One thing I want to say is that the participation level was absolutely terrific with 61 chapter members present to make the day the success it was, monetarily the event made a full half of the amount we made in DC!!!! The exact numbers will be available at the next meeting.
This just shows that no matter what RTNY3 does, it is done the right way and benefits many. Every member that worked on the run should be very proud of what was achieved. I personally want to thank the exec. board, and board members for spearheading the event and providing the leadership needed to accomplish putting on the biggest event in NY3's history! A JOB WELL DONE BY ALL!!!.
Thank you to all who made my job easier! Safe Ride, Ron
