It's Proclamation Ride time!

The mission of the Proclamation Ride is simple. We ride thorough towns in our area gathering proclamations from city and county officials who help us inform the public that May is "Motorcycle Awareness Month."

The Proclamations are signed in advance. We simply stop in to take a picture and talk with officials who present the proclamations.

We take the proclamations to Jefferson City to present to the Governors office on behalf of FORR. 

If you would like to get a proclamation from your town or county, contact Gordon at becton@grm.net. He'll fill you in.
