In any given year, you can easily give $30 or $50 to charities that you believe support our Nation’s Veterans, Families, and Children.

4 - American Legion Riders (ALR)

American Legion Riders are members of the American Legion, and their families, who participate in motorcycle riding activities within The American Legion. American Legion Riders are motorcycle riders who enjoy socializing on two-wheels while supporting the Aims and Purposes of the American Legion. American Legion Riders are Legionnaires, Auxiliary, or Sons of the American Legion members in good standing within their organizations, and do not have to be members of Post 149 to participate in our Post activities. Of course, we prefer that you join our Post family, but you are welcome nonetheless.

If you want to join in the activities with other American Legion Riders, simply show up at any of our events, or a Post 149 general meeting, 10:00 am on the second Saturday of every month (9:00 am for breakfast) and introduce yourself.
