Regional Conference Dues:

All chapters benefit from the work that is accomplished through our regional conference executives. The majority of the chapters pay their dues ($20.00 US per chapter) each year to show their support for the conference.  If your chapter does not 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?

The dues your chapter pays helps fund such things as the new GLRC patch and conference pins.  The funds also supports programs like the GLRC Traveller's Pin (pins and patches are not cheap).  The dues also purchase office supplies and pay for postage, both of which steadily increase every year.  Although our newsletters are now dispatched through electronic methods, there are still postage costs for other administrative purposes. 

Awards, charitable contributions, cards to sick members or deceased member's families all are paid for from the GLRC treasury, which your chapter dues help keep funded.  Yes, we do receive a dollar a year per member from the International, but as memberships fluctuate, so does that income.  In the grand scheme of things, $20 is not a great amount of money, but every dollar helps keep our conference running.  New chapters receive a waiver on dues their first year.

You still may submit a partial form, or a whole form, and you may submit partial amounts of information multiple times as more information becomes available. The goal here to make the process easy for you to use.

After you submit, you will receive a Report Number. This report number should be used when submitting additional amounts of information. You can also use this when referencing any information to the Safety Committee or Board of Governors.

Travelers Pin Contest:

This pin is designed to appeal to the snob in each of us, and must be EARNED which 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 the phrase:

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, G, K, E, A, T or S... we can hear the maps rustling now!

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

Mail your application into;

GLRC Travelers Pin c/o
Tom Peed
1818 State Route 380
Xenia, Ohio, 45385

Click for Document Application or Click for Adobe Application


This is the photo for the letter G - we had to obtain a second letter G as well.
Hint: use a yellow highlighter and mark your map with the different names to maximize your route directions and avoid back tracking as much as possible.
