Many of our charitable contributions are not being counted.
To ensure accuracy and improve the percentage of events being reported, we have devised a form which makes it easy for a chapter to report their charity statistics online; it only takes a minute or two. It can be found in the Members' Only area.

During the Blue Knights Southwest Conference, a ride was sponsored to the Taos Pueblo.
Taos Pueblo is the only living Native American community designated both a World Heritage Site by UNESCO and a National Historic Landmark. The multi-storied adobe buildings have been continuously inhabited for over 1000 years.
On June 12, 2008 we made history by being the only organization to be allowed to park INSIDE the walls at the Taos Pueblo. See photo.

We have links from several of our Heaven 1 members' names to memorial pages.
This service is available, at no charge of course, to the families, chapter members and friends of our brothers and sisters who eternally ride with pride.
Just send me graphics (jpg preferred) or text of eulogies, remembrances, anecdotes, etc. and I'll make a page and link from the name.   If you prefer to write your own page, we can link to it either here or on your server.
I'd like to see a memorial page for every one of the 700 Heaven One members - They will not be forgotten!
(Yes, we have the space!)

A goal of the Internet Committee is for ALL chapters/conferences to have a website or at least a homepage.
If you don't have a clue how to start, visit http://blueknights.org/websites.htm

Are you missing out on some publicity for your chapter rides/events?
A listing on our "Events" page probably won't double your attendance, but it might get you a few more participants.
These listings are for sanctioned chapter or conference events only.

International Headquarters has a toll-free line for prospective members to contact our organization and obtain information. The number is 1-877-BKI-LEMC (254-5362).
This is an expensive proposition but hopefully will result in the successful recruitment of new members. This number is not to be used for any other purpose, and calls to the number for any other reason will be ignored. Please comply.

A couple of users have written that they are unable to see changes in the various pages.
It turns out that they were reading cached copies (a page saved on your harddrive.)
Don't forget to hit "reload" or "refresh" in your browser window, especially for the pages that are changed often such as "Events" and "Chapters."
