Cavaliers host post-Katrina fundraiser

The Cavaliers Motorcycle Club held the first Post Katrina Beer Bust as a Welcome Home celebration Saturday, October 29th at Cafe Lafitte in Exile raising an amazing $300 for The Common Ground Project, a free medical clinic in Algiers.

Many Cavaliers showed up and helped give out beer. Yes, all we asked for was donations from whomever passed by looking for a cold drink. Many folks didn't believe us at first but we quickly convinced them there were no strings. It amazes me still the generosity of our community, we all have losses yet we are willing to help out and make a difference.

Special thanks to Michael G. for helping setup, serve drinks and break down when we emptied the second keg. Thanks also to Tom Woods, Ken Grand Prix and the staff of Lafitte's, as always they were there with a helping hand and great attitude.

It may seem like a small thing to some but we are all making a difference. The world needs to know that we are home and rebuilding a better New Orleans.

The Cavaliers Return To The Big Easy

The Cavaliers Motorcycle Club announces its return to New Orleans and their scheduled events just weeks after Hurricane Katrina.

The Cavaliers will kick things off with the First Post Katrina Beer Bust on October 29, the Saturday before Halloween, at Cafe Lafitte in Exile, Bourbon and Dumaine Streets in the French Quarter, as their Traveling Bike Night returns. Hours will be announced as details are finalized. Information can also be found on the Cavaliers web site, www.cavaliersmc.com.

Come join us as we celebrate the rebirth and rebuilding of our great city as only New Orleans can on Halloween Weekend. We will have Ice Cold Beer, Hot Motorcycles and the Friendliest Folks in the world, right here at home in the French Quarter.

All proceeds will be donated to local charities providing direct assistance to members of our community recovering and rebuilding New Orleans.

The Cavaliers also announce that we will resume our Ride Schedule with a weekend camping trip to Spring Creek Campground in Geneva, AL for their Gay Biker Weekend November 4 - 6. We hope to be joined by Gay motorcyclists from all over the Southeast.

Many of the Cavaliers have returned to New Orleans and are ready to rebuild our great city with the enthusiasm for working hard and playing equally hard as tradition mandates.

Cavaliers return to Lafittes

Several members of the Cavaliers returned to one of our favorite gathering spots in New Orleans yesterday, Sunday 10/02/05, for the return of Trash Disco/Sunday Tea following Hurricane Katrina. Mitch rode in on his bike from Algiers while Dave D., Michael and Doug, Associate Jim and other friends came in on four wheels or on foot.

It was great to see so many back in a familiar setting, though we all knew it was not the same. Hopefully we will all get back soon and resume old traditions as we have started already.

Take care my Brothers and Sisters, the hard work is just beginning but New Orleans will be back!
