From John Moffitt
OK folks - here is the latest and it is all fairly good news, so please read this whole thing before you get upset.

On Tuesday, Post 12 in Wickenburg passed a Resolution (Resolution 1) calling for the convening of a special meeting of the National Executive Committee (NEC) as soon as possible and to rescind Resolution 19.

This was discussed by the Department Thursday evening at the DEC (Department Executive Committee) meeting. In light of the "clarification" of Reso 19 from National, Department referred Resolution 1 from Wickenburg to the Arizona American Legion Riders Committee for further review and study.

Some things to keep in mind:

> A Resolution from the NEC can only be rescinded or amended by the NEC.

> Although there is a procedure for National to call a special NEC meeting (it can be done by the National Commander or by 15 members of the NEC requesting a special meeting), as far as I know there has never been a special NEC meeting convened in recent memory. So it was unlikely that National would convene a special NEC meeting.

> Politically, it was also unlikely that the NEC would rescind a Resolution which is only a couple of weeks old.

> Some of you have questioned the enforceability of a "clarification" being issued by National. Although I have never seen this done, our voices have been heard -- and National is clearly trying to address many of the concerns of Riders not only in Arizona but throughout the Country. For the short term, I am comfortable relying upon the "clarification" that we received from our National ALR Rep. HOWEVER - Resolution 1 from Wickenburg is not dead -- it is being "studied" - which means that if the ultimate letter of clarification from our National Adjutant and National Judge Advocate is not in accord with the "clarification" we received from our National Rep, or if National decides to change or go back on their "clarification", we still have Wickenburg Resolution 1 to rescind Reso 19 to bring back, hopefully pass at Department and go to National.

> From all of the comments I have seen opposing Reso 19, the "clarification" addresses most of the concerns except for the title of President. However, Reso. 19 gave us all one year to comply with that part of the Resolution.

SO --

1 - Don't change your titles yet. The fight isn't over.

2 - When we have our quarterly meeting in January, I'll be proposing some language for a "report" back to Department on Wickenburg Resolution 1. As of now (and assuming the "clarification letter" comes out from National), my initial inclination will be to replace Wickenburg Resolution 1 with a Resolution from the AZALR Committee rewording Section 5 of Reso 19 (the section addressing President) rather than rescinding all of Reso. 19. [I'll send out proposed wording along with the meeting agenda ahead of time.] Again, as a practical matter, we stand a lot better chance of amending part of a Resolution than trying to rescind the whole thing.

Also, by doing it this way, we will be processing the Resolution in accordance with the normal time lines, for National to act on in August, and not asking for a special NEC meeting.

Motorcycle riding continues to increase in popularity. For some it’s because of increased gas prices. For others it’s a sense of freedom, a way to temporarily unplug from the world. And for others it’s something they grew up doing and it’s become a way of life. Whatever the reason is, you ha...

Riders – two things.
One, we have all always assumed that if someone broke the Traveling Trophy they would either fix it or replace it. However, you know the old saying about when you “assume”.
Second, thanks to Ironbutt and ALR 91, we have had the AZALR Annual Traveling Trophy for a while now, but this has ever been “formalized” in the TT rules. And although Ironbutt will again provide the name plate for this year’s winner, it isn’t fair to him or to ALR 91 to continue to have to provide the name plate on an ongoing basis.
So your AZALR District Reps have unanimously voted to amend the TT rules as follows (Changes are in red). A complete copy of the TT rules is available on the AZLAR website (www.azalr.yolasite.com).

6. Whenever the Trophy is transported, it must remain in its original packaging to ensure that it is not damaged or broken. If the Trophy is damaged or broken, it is the responsibility of the Chapter in possession to repair or replace it.
12. The AZALR Annual Traveling Trophy (Master Thief Trophy) will be awarded during the AZALR Annual meeting to the ALR Chapter which has stolen the Trophy the most times since the previous annual meeting, and should remain at the home of that Chapter for the ensuing year. If the winning Chapter does not have a clubroom or bar at its Post (or does not share a building with the VFW or another organization), then the winning Chapter must make arrangements with an ALR Chapter which does have a clubroom or bar to hold and display the Traveling Trophy on their behalf until the AZALR Traveling Trophy is awarded at the next annual meeting. In the event of a tie, there will be a draw of cards (one card each) by the Chapters who have tied, Ace being the high card. Whenever the AZALR Annual Traveling Trophy is transported, it must remain in packaging to ensure that it is not damaged or broken. If the Trophy is damaged or broken, it is the responsibility of the Chapter in possession to repair or replace it. Also, the ALR Chapter which wins the AZALR Annual Traveling Trophy is responsible for purchasing a matching nameplate for that year. [Suggested vendor for the nameplates is MVP Trophies 3050 S. Country Club Drive Mesa 85210 480-247-9365.]
