Chapter 136 – St James City monthly Meeting
June 5-5, 2024
Welcome to the New Legion Year!
Beverly and I would like to extend a warm welcome to all the new officers for the 2024-2025 term and express our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who stepped up last year to support our program. Your dedication and hard work are deeply appreciated, and while there are too many names to list, please know that each contribution has made a significant impact. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to reach out. Remember, the only stupid question is the one that has not been asked.
Importance of Officer Reporting
One of our top priorities this year is to ensure that all officer contact information is reported and loaded into the ALR database. Accurate and up-to-date information is crucial for improving our communication and coordination.
Year-Over-Year Performance
Looking at our performance metrics, we have had an impressive year. While our membership and annual donations remained steady, we saw a remarkable increase in miles-ridden—from three million to 4.4 million. Well done, everyone! It is interesting to ponder how much of this increase can be attributed to capturing the plaque.
Event Feedback and Improvements
Our surveys this year showed positive feedback across all events. We are actively working to incorporate the changes you suggested. Notably, the Summit will see a few modifications, including additional Safety Classes supported by the Florida Safety Program. Stay tuned for more details on these updates.
In-State Planning and the Rally
Our initial In-State planning session has kicked off, and the Roadmasters are again stepping up to the challenge. They are swapping territories around, promising an interesting event. The Rally will be held at OCC, and we will be raffling off a bike again this year.
Growing and Delegating
With our growth into a professional riding organization, we are bringing on more committees to help us out. Delegating responsibilities to more individuals will ensure a smooth leadership transition in the future.
Thank you for your continued support and dedication. Here is to another successful year with the American Legion Riders!
