Frequenty Asked Questions

How do I join?

To join the American Legion Riders of Post 223:

1. Print out a membership application and complete it.
2. Bring the application, a copy of your motorcycle registration, a copy of your current dues card, and a check for dues to Post 223 (make the check out to "American Legion Riders Post 223").
3. Leave the information with the bartender, asking her to place it in the Legion Riders box, or bring the information to any Legion Roders meeting on the 4th Tuesday of each month.

Do I have to belong to Post 223 to join?

Absolutely not. As long as you are a current, paid-up member of the American Legion, Auxiliary, or SAL at any post, you are eligible to join the American Legion Riders of Post 223.

How much are dues?

Dues are $10/year per person, regardless of whether you're a Full Member or a Supporting Member.

Do I have to be a member to go on rides?

Yes and no. There may be some rides that are set aside just for the group (contact us first and ask) and when we ride in parades, participation is limited to just ALR members. Other rides, such as poker runs, are open to anyone. To participate in one of those rides, print out an Event Waiver Form, fill it out, and bring it with you. We cannot allow you to ride with us without a completed waiver (per the lawyers).

What are Supporting Members?

Supporting Members are those people who believe in our goals and mission and wish to participate, but do not own motorcycles. The only real differences between them and Full Members are that: a. They do not have voting rights, and b. If they wear the ALR back patch or other insignia, they must wear a rocker that says "I Support." Our Supporting members are invaluable to us, as they help with running functions and providing support for rides by manning chase vehicles (cars or trucks with supplies in the event of a breakdown, etc.).
