Dear Chapter Members,

It is with great sadness that I share with you that our friend and H.O.G member, Mary Dileo was fatally injured while a passenger on a motorcycle in Tucson, Arizona.  The crash occurred when a car pulled out in front of the motorcyle, which was driven by a friend. There were no alcohol or drugs involved.  The accident happened Saturday night, May 8 and Mary passed Monday AM, May 10.  There will be an Elks Funeral Service for Mary at 2:00 PM Sunday, May 16th at the Lancaster Elks Lodge. 

Mary's family has invited all H.O.G members both present and past to attend this service in her honor.

We will be meeting at AV Harley at 1:00 pm to line up and ride over as a group. Please ride your motorcycles and wear your vests. We will be riding rain or shine in support of our Chapter member and friend. 

If you are unable to meet the Chapter at AV Harley please feel free to show up at: 240 E. Ave K, Lancaster. 

Arrangements will be made with the Lodge for bikes to be parked in a line across the front.  After the ceremony, there will be a buffet luncheon in the banquet room, provided by members of the Elks Camper Club, of which Mary was a member. 

Please show your support and love for Mary by making a large showing.  Please forward as necessary. Message sent on behalf of Richard Rutherford.
