BYLAWS, HANDBOOK, MEMORIAM

As a completely volunteer organization, we need the talents of many individuals. We need planners, publicists, writers for brochures and newsletters. We need car and truck drivers, product sellers, road blockers, sidecar drivers, printers, people to collect, and sort the toys and other volunteers in many other areas.

Parade volunteers are expected to attend the general meetings held prior to The Parade and participate in other events that the Parade organization sponsors during the year. These events may include riding to local charities, participating in neighborhood parades, picnics, and assisting with Parade promotions at the swap meets and motorcycle shows.

Anyone interested in becoming a Parade volunteer is invited to attend the annual Kick-off Party in September. Here you will learn more about The Parade organization, meet other Parade members and register to be a part of Chicago's most diverse and dynamic motorcycle organization.

General meetings are held at the

Rhine VFW Post at 5858 South Archer Avenue in Chicago.

 Northside meeting are held at

The Franklin Park American Legion at 9757 Pacific Avenue in Franklin Park.

Board of Directors Meetings are held at the Rhine VFW 5858 S. Archer Avenue, Chicago.

MAY THE SUN RISE IN FRONT OF ME

MAY THE RAIN FALL BEHIND ME

AND THE WIND FOLLOW ME

MAY THE ANGELS OF MY BROTHERS

AND SISTERS WHO HAVE GONE BEFORE ME

GUARD MY TRAVELS

FOR THEY KNOW THE PERILS

OF THE ROAD AHEAD OF ME

KEEP ME SAFE THROUGH THE

ROUGH CITY STREETS ON MY WAY

TO THE LAND OF SWIRLING TURNS

AND ROLLING HILLS

LET THE COLOURS OF FALL

KEEP ME WARM

LET THE EAGLE GUIDE ME

TO THE MOUNTAINTOPS

LET THE MOON'S LIGHT GUIDE ME

THROUGH THE NIGHT

MAY MY TIRES NOT FAIL ME

NOR MY ENGINE GROW OLD

MAY MY BIKE DRAW LIFE

FROM THE STREAMS I PASS

KEEP MY SEAT SOFT

AND MY MIND SHARP

LET THE AIR OF SPRING

BREATHE LIFE INTO MY SOUL

TO JOURNEY TO ANOTHER ADVENTURE

BESIDE MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS
