The 2011 International Convention will be held in Virginia July 17 – 22, 2011
37TH ANNUAL BLUE KNIGHTS INTERNATIONAL LAW ENFORCEMENT MOTORCYCLE CLUB CONVENTION
Virginia V extends a warm southern welcome, for all Blue Knights to join them in celebrating the 37th International Convention in the Greater Hampton Roads area. While our immediate area offers fun for the whole family which include miles of beaches, water parks, tours of military installations and children’s museums, we are only a short ride to historical areas, such as the battlefields of Yorktown, Colonial Williamsburg and Jamestown.. As proud hosts of one of the largest conventions to date, we’ll do our best to uphold the Virginia V reputation, of knowing how to have fun and put on a PARTY!
While the host hotel will be the brand new Marriott located in the Greenbrier area, there are more than a dozen other properties offering an additional 700 rooms that are either adjacent to or within minutes of the host hotel. The rates will range from $79.99 to $129.00 a night, for up to 4 people, with the host hotel rate being $99.00. There are also several extended stay and suite properties that offer complete kitchens, appliances, cooking utensils and a free internet workplace that are within a short 3 minute ride.
The Chesapeake Conference Center has over 20,000 square feet of meeting space, with more than one acre of parking and plenty of room for vendors!
We look forward to seeing you in Hampton Roads in 2011!

Board of Governors Meeting:
There was a proposal on the Agenda to expand the Special Fund to include a spouse or S/O riding their own motorcycle to be included. This by-law change would require a 2/3’s majority vote to go into effect. With 126 chapters represented, there was a clear majority, but not the required 2/3’s. Motion failed as written. The main point of discussion was the definition of significant other.
BOG Elections:
Current board re-elected. We thank Ont. IV Pres. Pam Carleton for running for Secretary and IN XIII Pres. Glen Wheat for running for Vice-Chairman.
2011 Int’l Convention: The Virginia V chapter put on a great presentation regarding the Convention in the Virginia Beach area.
2012 Convention – With only one bid, TX XXXIV will host the party in Tyler, Texas. It will be the 4th week of July instead of the 3rd week.
The Convention Committee took input on ideas should no chapter bid to host an International Convention.
It was announced that there is a form for the “Special Fund” on the International Website under “Board of Governors”.
A manual for chapter Presidents will be mailed with the Renewal Package each year. BOG Officers Bob Seelye and Jimmy Schneider provided input to this manual.
At the time of the conventional, the Special Fund had already paid out seven Claims this year. There was one accident on the way to Int’l that involved the spouse of a member on their own m/c. There were two more accidents involving members on their way home. Those involved in the accidents were from ND I, MA XIV and MO I.
General Membership Meeting:
President Mulford displayed a dark blue vest that may be for sale soon to the membership.
Under Legal Updates, it was announced that Pat Griffin has a pending lawsuit against the club.
International Candidates running for office addressed the membership.
Reports were received from all committees and Conference Reps.
There were 68 applicants for the Scholarship. Five names were drawn.
Board of Directors Meeting:
A motion was passed to distribute a “Manual for Chapter Presidents” each year with the chapter renewal package.
Int’l Secretary Candidate Mike Scarbough was determined to have not properly met the requirements in filing for the position.
I will try to get the winners of the BOG Awards out tomorrow. RWP.

Once again it is time for the Blue Knights International Convention. This year the convention is being held in Billing, Montana. Right after the International Convention will be the WCC/SWC Conference held in Grand Junction Colorado.
They schedule the WCC/SWC to coincide with International so if you were inclined you could attend both.
Both or either event is something you do not want to miss. It is something you should do at least once. Once you attend I guarantee you will want to go again.
The WCC/SWC will have members from the entire west coast of the U.S.
The International Convention will have members from all over the world, England, Germany, Poland to name just a few.
Below is the link to the web page where you can get all your information and registration forms.
