DUES: Membership dues paid each year provides membership to the club for the calendar year (January thru December). New members will receive a chapter back patch. Dues paid are used to fund operating costs of the club, to make charitable contributions, and for any other expense the majority of the Board deems appropriate. Members that have not paid their annual dues by December 25th of the current year will be noted as ‘inactive’ and will not have voting rights during the annual meeting. New members that pay their initial dues on or after October 1 will be deemed as having paid their dues for the next year.

5th Annual Toy Ride benefiting Peyton Manning Children's Hospital. We collect toys and raise funds to purchase toys to be given to the patients throughout the year. Ride participants, along with Santa, deliver these items to PMCH on motorcycles. It's simply amazing the difference something so small as a toy, stuffed animal, or a fleece blanket can make to a child in the hospital. 

We hope you can join us this year as we deliver the toys to the hospital.

No Registration Fee. However, we encourage every rider to make a donation of New, Unwrapped Toys in place of a registration fee. 

No Pre-registration necessary. Plan to register the day of the event at HD of Indianapolis.Saturday,
