NK Merrimack Valley Radio
Brother Sig from the Appalachian Chapter returns to the Podcast table with a promise to make regular appearances in the upcoming 8th Season! We start with the intent of looking back over the previous season. Not surprisingly, CY2025 was one of the busiest years in the chapter’s history, with an event a month. He remembers the K9 event in September as his personal highlight, but notes quickly that they also jumped in quickly on a fundraiser for a local police officer shot in the line of duty and another for the family of a police officer killed in the line of duty. ...

info_outlineBloodstripe Chapter Call In
Brothers Roadside and Pennywise joined the podcast to introduce us to the Bloodstripe chapter.
We had a great conversation about how they are working hard to make an impact and success with a close-knit knit small chapter. The chapter recently did some re-organizing to support both the Bloodstripe and 1st North chapters.
The Bloodstripe chapter was founded in 2013 and comprised mainly of Marines. Over the years people have retired, moved away, and reduced the numbers overall. That was one of the biggest challenges for the chapter, but in the past months they
“Where’s Kevin” actually helped start the chapter.
The Chapters hosts a Family Day quarterly for the patches, ladies, and their families. More than just being out on two wheels on Saturday for a couple of hours. We try to get “It’s a great thing, especially when you have people wanting to hangaround, prospect, and are interested in us.” We bring them to family day so they can meet the families as well, says Roadside. The belief is that if the family doesn’t support it, it's hard to be a part of anything.
Pennywise adds, “It’s important to us and helps, especially if you have someone who’s looking to join they can see that it’s a family environment.”
Most recently, the chapter sponsored a Valentine’s Day for a local veterans home.. The chapter teamed up with Family Dollar and received a bunch of donations, and put together packages for the residents. The kids created cards that were included and gifted to each one.
The chapter doesn’t yet have an annual event that they host; however, they are looking forward to participating in the Kennedy Home Run that benefits the Kennedy Home in Kinston NC.
Kennedy Home in Kinston is a part of the Baptist Children’s Homes of NC (BCH) statewide ministries. Kennedy Home offers cottage homes for vulnerable children and family care cottages for single mothers and their children. Kennedy Home also provides foster care and foster-to-adopt services.
Moving forward, the chapter is looking for new ideas and innovative ways to interact with the community. The chapter attends local bike nights and gets to know the local Legion and VFW members in the process. Being small, co-hosting events is a great avenue for creating events without overwhelming the members. The goal is to advertise that they are there, because alot of people don’t know that the chapter is there.
The Chapter is working on merchandise and hopes to have it available for purchase very soon.
Finally, the chapter does want to participate in Kinston’s Annual BBQ Fest. The event draws thousands of people from all over, so the chapter is going to try and set up a booth.
