The majority of the chapters pay their dues ($20.00 US per chapter) each year to show their support for the membership.  If your chapter doesn't pay it's dues, your Chapter President (or their representative) will not be able to vote at the Conference Meetings.  Don't you want to be heard?

Traveler Pin Contest:

This pin is designed to appeal to the snob in each of us, and must be EARNED! Earning it is half the fun. To do so, members and their wives/ husbands/ girlfriends/ boyfriends must first signify their intent to qualify with a registration fee. Then the fun starts!! You must ride to the outskirts of a city/town that has as its first initial one of the letters in:

B L U E   K N I G H T S   G R E A T   L A K E S

Obtain a photograph of your bike parked at the city or town limit sign with your plate and the name of the town visible.

When 21 photos are received at the Great Lakes Region, your pin will be sent to you. The towns and cities can be located in any of the states or province comprising the G.L.R.C. and can be done in any order. No duplicates can be used for the double letters, L, E, A, or T. I can hear the maps rustling now!

Here is your chance to do a little  boasting and increase your pin collection simultaneously.  Click for Application
