Hello Ohio Chapter Members
A statewide meeting of the RKMC Chapters and MAL members in Ohio was held on November 2nd, 2002, in Bellville, Ohio. As a result of that meeting, the Ohio Association was formed. The purpose of the Association was to guide new Chapters, gain new members and develop new Chapters, to unify the existing Chapters and Members at Large and to keep members in the state informed on issues and upcoming events. At that time we had 4 active Chapters in Ohio. OH 1, OH 4, OH 5 & OH 6. We now have 12 active chapters in our State.
Ohio was the first State to form an Association. We now have 10 approved and 6 pending Associations in the Red Knights. Ohio has set the standard to which all other Associations are set up by.
In 2008, the Ohio Association will be the first state Association to host the Red Knights International Firefighters Motorcycle Club’s Annual Convention.
Event Information HERE
The Ohio Chapters who take part in the planning and the duties will share equally in the profits from hosting the Convention.
In order for this to be the BEST convention ever, we NEED your help. A meeting will be held at the Kalahari on March 15, 2008 (A #3 Unit Day) at 1:00 pm. It is of the up most importance that someone from your chapter attends this meeting if you want to be involved.
We already have other Associations watching to see how we work together in hosting this convention so that they may follow suit.
Let’s set the standard high for all that follows the Ohio Association. •
