The "My bike is too drunk for me to ride" shuttle will run from the American Legion to the hotels at the top of every hour the evening of the Main Event (this is free).
If you are planning to attend the ’18 SWR in New Mexico, I have a request.
I am asking that every chapter that attends, please bring me one of your chapter tabs or if you do not have one, something that you wear on your vest signifying your chapter, for a project we are doing. This will be greatly appreciated.
For those that do not want to do the pistol shoot, Brother Sumo will be doing
a “Winery & Brewery” run to some of the locals spots here in the area, while the pistol competition is going on Friday
FYI…Sunday September 23rd, Madison Rising will be at the VFW, for a benefit concert
(NO COVER CHARGE). So if anyone is coming out early this will be a great time.
Saturday morning, the day of the event, the VFW has a breakfast buffet for $7.
I will need a headcount by the meet and greet, so they can prepare for a big crowd.

GA-8 is hosting the 5th Annual Jesse Hinton Memorial Homeless Vets Run on September 29.
Jesse Hinton was a local Vet who dedicated a lot of time and energy to collecting food, clothing and supplies for Savannah area Homeless Vets. He reached out to us for assistance in 2013 and we responded. Unfortunately, Jesse passed away shortly thereafter.
It has been an honor for us to carry on the tradition in his name every year with the support of his family.
This year, the run will start and end at the USMVMC Clubhouse in Brooklet on Saturday, September 29.
100% of the proceeds from this run are used to provide food, water, clothing, shelter and survival supplies to Veterans living in tents in the woods around Savannah.
We partner with VFW Post 660 to provide the support. They provide us with info on the needs (clothing sizes, etc.) and deliver the items where they need to go. We raise funds and keep the pantry stocked and buy the specific items they need. This annual run is our largest source of income to support this cause.
We have an absolutely incredible number of awesome door prizes thanks to Jesse Hinton's granddaughter, Tiffany and virtually every business in the Statesboro area.
Following the run, we will celebrate our Brothers White Lightning and Parolee reaching the 10 Year milestone in this MC. Hope to see you all there!!
Brothers, for anyone not headed to the southwestern rendezvous, please join the Hard Knocks of GA 11 on September 29th as we celebrate our Brother Murdock's bachelor party! He's decided to take the plunge for the last time so we're going to make him go out with a bang!
