Eagle Riders Group Information
|
The Eagle Riders offer members with an interest in motorcycle riding an opportunity to organize and put together charitable events while doing what they love. Each year, Eagle Riders groups across the United States and Canada raise money through Poker Run events and other motorcycle activities that help unite community members and build a passion and appreciation for our surrounding landscapes.
The Van Buren Eagle Riders help the Aerie as well as the MDA Camp Cavell for kids near Lexington, MI, Toys for Tots , and the Wounded Warriors Project. The Riders signature project is the annual HOG roast which takes place in September. The Events page will have details as we get close to the date. Eagle Rider meetings are held on the second Thursday of each month at 6:30 pm. in the social room or the Pavilion, weather permitting. It is not necessary to have a motorcycle to join. We passed a motion to let all previous members who have let the membership lapse rejoin for the annual fee of $10.00. All Riders shall be in good standing in the Van Buren Aerie or the Ladies Auxiliary. |
