Greetings Veterans and Patriots,

Hope everyone enjoyed the holidays. Now that 2022 is upon us it’s time to start planning for the 22nd Annual POW*MIA Awareness Rally and Motorcycle Rodeo! We are looking for volunteers. Please contact me or any Lane Leader if you are interested in being a part of putting this Rally on. Mark your calendars!

We are still looking for a Facilities Team Leader. This position is a very big part of the Rally and needs to be filled soon. Please contact me if you are interested.

The American Red Cross and Traci Lund would like to thank you for your support and blood donations at the 16th Annual POW*MIA Awareness Association Blood Drive:

Happy New Year! Thank You for your hard work and for helping the Red Cross keep the blood supply needed to save lives. The need for blood is constant, right now with everything that is happening in the world the need is severe. You having a blood drive helps us to keep saving lives.  Thank you so much! Thank you for helping us accomplish our mission to help those in need. I have attached a flyer showing how many lives you help us to save. Thank you so much! I Appreciate You! 

Thank you all who took time out of your day to give and thank you Nicki for all you did to make the 16th Annual Bikers for Blood Community Blood Drive happen!

A thank you card from Wreaths Across America was also received for supporting their mission to Remember the fallen, Honor those that serve, and Teach the next generation the value of freedom. Thank you, Dawn for getting the wreaths ordered and thank you everyone that came out to lay the wreaths.

Thank you, Dawn, Eve, and Ashlee, for a great Christmas Party! It was a great time in Whoville! I would have liked to have been able to stay longer, but was happy to see all the fun you were having.



Our next General Meeting is Friday, January 21th at 7pm at Liberty Hall, 325 W. Benton St. Pocatello.  Everyone is invited!

Please read the November General Membership Meeting Minutes, so we will be able to take a vote to accept or amend them.

Thank you,
