Well it seems the cold weather has been sticking around, the groundhog saw his shadow in early February, so 6 more weeks of winter but he didn’t predict Antarctica cold weather we’ve had, 25 days so far that have been below zero!

Our March breakfast will be in conjunction with the 3rd District being here so if you could come out and help and wear your shirts or vests showing you are a Legion rider! Breakfast is the 16th of March!

We had our election at the meeting this month, the officers for the 2025/2026 are as follows, Director, Leroy Willis, Asst Director, Scott Folske, Sec/Treasurer, Cathy Amann, Sgt at Arms, Mike Fox, Road Guard, Chad Greeder, thanks for stepping up.

Annual dues are due so bring some extra cash or your checkbook to the March breakfast and meeting.

March is a big month this year as the American Legion National Commander James A. Lacoursiere Jr will be visiting Minnesota, he will be here at Post 225 on 24 March for Dinner & Program, love to see as many Legion Riders as possible there!

Last month I gave you a short history on the Legion Riders, this month I am showing you how simple it is to become a member,
Members must hold membership in and be in good standing with The American Legion, American Legion Auxiliary or Sons of The American Legion.

Members must be legally registered motorcycle owners or be the legally registered owner's spouse within the state of registration.

All operators must be properly licensed and insured per state laws.

All members must obey motor-vehicle laws in the state in which they are operating a motorcycle or riding as a passenger.

So why not sign up and become a Legion Rider?

Have a great month and the weatherman just said the March warmer weather will melt most hockey outdoor rinks so we can start thinking about spring too, maybe go out and uncover your bike and let the spring sun shine on it after you polish it! Let’s start getting ready to get our bikes out to have a great riding season!
