I also want to thank the MMSF for the donation, I couldn't be more grateful. The immense amount of people that showed up on Sat. was unbelievable."

American Motorcyclist Association announces free AMA Roadside Assistance
Groundbreaking benefit is free to members who renew their memberships automatically
PICKERINGTON, Ohio -- The AMA rocked the motorcycling community Friday, Feb. 13, with the announcement of a remarkable new membership benefit: free AMA Roadside Assistance for the same $39 annual cost that AMA members currently pay to belong to the world's largest member-based motorcyclists' rights organization.
Every member who enrolls in the AMA's new auto-renewal program is rewarded with free AMA Roadside Assistance. It's an incredible value that covers all of a member's motorcycles, plus all of his or her other vehicles, including motorhomes and trailers. And it's available for every kind of rider: cruiser, tourer, sportbike, commuter, dual-sport, off-road and racer.
"AMA members have long supported our efforts to protect and promote motorcycling," said AMA President and CEO Rob Dingman at a press conference preceding the opening of the annual Dealernews International Powersports Dealer Expo in Indianapolis. "With our new auto-renewal program and free AMA Roadside Assistance, we are finally able to provide a much sought-after benefit that every member needs, every time they ride. And it's completely free."
Dingman added that the first 25,000 members who enroll in the new AMA autorenewal program will receive a $10 shopping coupon from AMA partner BikeBandit.com. BikeBandit.com is just one of more than two dozen AMA partners who provide members with useful and valuable discounts on products and services.
The AMA has been on a roll since last fall, adding at l east nine new member benefit partners. They include: Garmin, RoadLok, SPOT, LifeLock, MAD Maps, EZY-Lift, XENA Locks and more.
When asked how the AMA could afford to provide AMA Roadside Assistance for free, Dingman said, "It's simple really. In the past, we've sent out more than 1 million pieces of renewal mail a year. With auto-renewal, we save a lot of money that would otherwise be spent on paper, postage and staff time. Savings from this 'green' initiative will allow the Association to dedicate more resources to member benefits."
AMA membership: A Revolution
At the press conference, Dingman revealed the new AMA membership structure.
• AMA Champion ($39) is the new, best-value membership. It costs the same as the previous "Full" membership and includes all existing member benefits. AMA Champions also receive free AMA Roadside Assistance on all of their vehicles when they opt-in for auto-renewal of their memberships.
• AMA Competition Plus ($39) is the new best-value membership for those who enjoy racing with the AMA. It costs the same as the previous "Competition" membership and includes all existing member benefits. Like AMA Champions, AMA Competition Plus members get free AMA Roadside Assistance on all of their vehicles when they opt-in for auto-renewal of their memberships.
• AMA Standard ($39) is the same as the previous "Full" membership. It does not require auto-renew and does not20include free AMA Roadside Assistance. Dingman also unveiled two enhanced AMA membership levels.
• AMA Defender ($49) includes all of the benefits of an AMA Champion membership, plus it designates a $10 annual contribution to the advocacy efforts of the AMA Government Relations Department. AMA Defenders receive free AMA Roadside Assistance on all of their vehicles when they opt-in for autorenewal of their memberships.
• AMA Hall of Fame ($49) includes all of the benefits of an AMA Champion membership, plus it designates a $10 annual contribution to the AMA's Motorcycle Hall of Fame Museum. AMA Hall of Fame members receive free AMA Roadside Assistance on all of their vehicles when they opt-in for autorenewal of their memberships.
Details of the AMA's auto-renewal program and free AMA Roadside Assistance are available in a comprehensive four-page spread highlighting all of the AMA member benefits in the March issue of American Motorcyclist, and on the AMA website at www.AmericanMotorcyclist.com. Non-AMA members can easily join and redeem this tremendous offer, as well as take advantage of numerous other savings, by simply selecting Join/Renew in the Membership menu of the AMA website.

The Moving Wall in Boston | Fundraiser in W. Roxbury on 2/27
Date: Feb. 8, 2009
"The Moving Wall," ( www.themovingwall.org ), a traveling replica of the Washington, DC memorial to Viet Nam Veterans, will be coming to the Millennium Park, Boston area September 17-21, 2009.
My buddy, Joe D'Entremont, Vice President, Rolling Thunder MA1, ( www.rollingthunderma1.com ), is one of several organizers of this Event.
Below is a copy of a recent newspaper story about this Event.
Joe has asked me for some assistance, based in part of being co-coordinator of the Moving Wall's visit to Amesbury back in 2005.
The planning of this (actual) week long, 24 hour a day event, and fundraising to offset its costs, has begun.
Over 300 riders and veterans in 2005 answered the "call for duty" and helped support this effort, in donations of their time, money and talent.
I'm putting out the "call for duty" again.
Please e-mail if you can serve on a sub-committee and/or donate some time for security in September, especially the '3rd shift.'
Next, fundraising to offset the costs of this project has begun.
A Party is planned for Friday night, Feb. 27, 2009 from 7-midnight, at the West Roxbury Elks No. 10, 248 Spring Street, W. Roxbury.
Come on out and meet the Team Leaders and have some fun !
A flyer is attached. Please print out and pass around to others in your circle.
Requested donation is $10 a person.
I have tickets for this Event. Please e-mail your 'check is in the mail' with number of tickets and your full mailing address, and I'll reply with my mailing address.
Check should be made payable to the Moving Wall Committee. Thank you for your attention to these matters.

Tribute to Vietnam vets coming to West Roxbury Scott Wachtler
29.JAN.09
Joe D'Entremont said he's always had an affinity for the plight of
Vietnam Veterans.
"I was too young to serve," he said. "But I remember wearing a POW/MIA
patch on my jacket when I was young and listening to WBZ read off the
lists of the servicemen who died."
D'Entremont and a few of his friends, Mike Flynn, Mike Gormley and
Frank Sullivan have decided to pay tribute to the fallen soldiers of the
War in Vietnam by bringing The Moving Wall Memorial to West Roxbury's
Millennium Park on Sept. 17-21.
The Moving Wall is a half-sized replica of the Washington DC Vietnam
Veterans Memorial. In spite of its smaller size, the Moving Wall
contains all 58,000 names of soldiers killed in action or listed missing
in action.
Before the Moving Wall can come to Boston, D'Entremont and his crew of
supporters will need to raise the funds to bring the memorial here.
"It costs $5,500 just to bring it to Boston," D'Entremont said, "Plus,
we will need to build a platform for it and hire speakers to come speak
at the events we will have scheduled."
D'Entremont said he has already put a downpayment on the memorial and
he is currently in talks with several speakers who will need to be
flown in for the event. He estimates they will need to raise roughtly
$20,000 to do the event the justice it deserves.
On Friday Feb. 27, from 7 P.M. until midnight, the West Roxbury Elks
Club on 248 Spring St. will host a fundraiser for the event. Tickets for the
fundraiser are $10 and will include food and a chance at door prizes
donated by The Harpoon Brewery. D'Entremont said they also plan on
having a DJ at the fundraiser.
This year POW/MIA Recognition day will fall on one of the days the
Moving Wall will be in West Roxbury.
D'Entremont hopes the day will serve as a memorial to the 39 servicemen
from Massachusetts still listed as POW/MIAs.
"Hopefully it will serve as a reminder to people and
keep the issues of POW and MIAs and PTSDs in the forefront - especially
now that we have a new group of veterans coming back from the wars in
Afghanistan and Iraq," D'Entremont said.
