CHAPTER C HISTORY
Chapter C, located in Monroe, Michigan, is part of Region D which includes chapters in Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana.
Chapter C the "Monroe Floral City Wings" was organized in early spring of 1982. Located about thirty minutes south of Detroit, MI and fifteen minutes north of Toledo, OH.
Monroe is known for the flowering Lotus beds in the area, thus the name Monroe Floral City Wings.
Each spring we celebrate the anniversary of the chapter with a party that includes an auction to help raise funds. Members bring a “Surprise” wrapped in newspaper to be auctioned off to the highest bidder. Needless to say, we have had many useful, hilarious, and sometimes slightly outrageous items!
Chapter C was the first chapter in Michigan to organize a lottery with monthly drawings to raise money. This event along with our Fun Run have proven to benefit our charity donations and to keep the chapter functioning. We have made contributions to the Muscular Dystrophy Association, Philadelphia House in Monroe, Safe House of Monroe, and many others. During the Thanksgiving and Christmas Holidays we "adopt" a family in need of financial help. We supply the family with Thanksgiving dinner, clothing, and presents from Santa. Volunteering and participation are vital in G.W.R.R.A. and Monroe’s Floral City Wings are alive and well in that department.
Members are encouraged to write an article for the newsletter, recruit new members, plan a ride, or chapter event, and most of all to enjoy being together and riding their motorcycles. Monthly gatherings are held the first Sunday of each Month at 9am at Denny's Restaurant located at I 75 & M 50, Monroe, MI. Visitors are always welcome!
During the riding season Chapter C meets every Wednesday at Blockbusters on Telegraph in Monroe at 6:00 PM, we start our ride to dinner at 6:30 PM. Some Saturdays are reserved for "Ice Cream Runs" and Sunday’s we may ride to fun runs, special events or just take a scenic ride for the day.
During the late fall, winter and early spring we meet for dinner the first and third Wednesday of each Month along with our monthly gathering on First Sunday. We have a dedicated staff that does their best to offer a variety of rides and activities for the members and their families.
