2021 Rally Blast

Greetings AMVETS Riders,

The Mid Year Rally is graciously being hosted by Chapter 61 at Post 61 in Louisville KY and is rapidly approaching us. As of right now, the Mid Year has not been canceled due to the current Coronavirus outbreak, But Individuals should use their own judgment for their own safety and welfare. Kentucky is currently allowed 50% occupancy at gathering places and Post 61 well exceeds our needs.

Right now, your National Officers are preparing their reports, classes and information for the Mid-Year Rally. This Rally is one of the corner stones of Tradition for the AMVETS Riders. This meeting is where policy is discussed in a more relaxed atmosphere. We also do first round of nominations for all of the National Officer Elected positions.

One of the unique qualities of the Mid-Year rally is that we are able to chose to meet at a Riders
Chapter’s Post. When this Post hosts an event, every organization within that Post has the opportunity to benefit. At most Mid-Year rallies, the local Ladies Auxiliary and Sons Squadron’s have provided lunches at minimal cost. Good food, cheaper than going to fast food. The Post canteen generally profit very well when we have Legendary AMVETS Riders in the house so the Post wins.
I encourage you all to go to amvetsridersnational.org and register to attend the National Mid-Year
Rally in Louisville, KY. A list of hotels is provided.

See you at the Rally.

LRB/S,
Tom McNamara
National President
