We will be doing Dirty Santa so bring a wrapped Gift, motorcycle related, 10-15 Dollars if you want to play. Dirty Santa is played by putting all gifts together, Numbers are drawn by each player. #1 may pick any gift. #2 may take that gift or pick one. If you take a gift from a player that player may chose any gift or take one from another player and so on until all numbers are drawn. Each gift may only be taken three times. This is a lot of fun so bring a gift and enjoy! We will also be giving door prizes. The Club will pay for all meals if you have paid your club dues. If you have not paid your dues and would like to attend the party you can pay $15.00 at the party. Please pay for your Adult Beverages. We had a great time last year and we will have a great time this year so See you at the Diamond Chapter 2016 Christmas Party!!!!

Veterans Rally at Rodney's Cycle House


This was their first Veterans Rally and it went well. The Diamond Chapter displayed
27 vintage Motorcycles.  Great turnout!  Members present were Butch & Pat Jones, Lanny Plumber, Jed Simpson, James Sandage, Greg Bright, Dyrek Burns, Mike Thomson, and more.


The Weather was excellent but the public turnout was small.
They had a modern bike show, Beer Garden, Good Bar B Q, and more.
The bands that played were great and fun to listen to. They did some great
old songs. All the proceeds went to help Veterans and the club was glad to help.
Rodney wants to do this event next year and we will support it.


All in all everyone had a great day at the Rally. 


Thanks to all who brought bikes and helped.
