Date: March 19, 2017 at 19:01:52 EDT

Subject: William "Billy" Pinkett Memorial Breakfast

    Hello Everyone, I hope this finds everyone well and good.

It's been one year since we lost one of our own, "Bill Pinkett", and in honor of his passing, we have arranged a memorial breakfast to be held on Saturday, March 25, 2017, from 9:00am until 12:00noon.

    The memorial breakfast will be held at Billy's favorite breakfast spot, The Country Buffet, located on Rt. 198, in Laurel, Maryland.  (It's in the strip mall area behind Carol's Western Wear Clothing Store, at the intersection of Rt. 197 & 198, in Laurel, MD.).

    We hope everyone will be able to attend, so we can share in friendship, good food, and great stories and memories of Billy.

    If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to give me a call.

See you there,

Sly Barnes

State Representatives and Board,

After hearing last night that there may only be a minimal amount of rooms remaining  in the reserved block for our upcoming meeting, I just reached out to the host hotel regarding the amount of rooms still available.  According to the hotel, as of right now, there are only 9 rooms with 2 double beds left AND 9 rooms that have a king bed.

BRANDYWINE, Md. (FOX 5 DC) - The Prince George's County police officer who was killed in a motorcycle crash is being remembered at a service on Wednesday. The services will be help at the Spirit of Faith Christian Center in Brandywine.
Officer Davon McKenzie was off-duty when his motorcycle was struck by a vehicle along Interstate 495 in the Largo area around 11 p.m. on May 28. He died from his injuries a short time later at a nearby hospital.
McKenzie was assigned to the Bureau of Patrol and joined the Prince George's County Police Department in March of 2017. He was 24 years old and worked as a School Resource Officer at William Wirt Middle School in Riverdale.
Attention Blue Knights members both far and wide! On December 4, 2019, Kirk Williams from Maryland I transferred from chapter to Heaven I. To grieve this loss, Kirk leaves behind a wife of 34 years and two adult children. While speaking with Kirk's wife, Maxine, it was learned that she was a patch collector, which she thoroughly enjoyed.. We are seeking assistance from our Brothers and Sisters at this time by asking if you can help us enhance Maxine's collection thereby giving her an outlet to work through her grief. If you are able to assist, please send the patch to: Blue Knights Maryland - I, P.O. Box 52, Bladensburg, Maryland 20710.

Thank you in advance and remember, RIDE WITH PRIDE!

Fellow Blue Knights, 

It is with great sadness that we must advise all of passing of the Founder of the Blue Knights, Ed Gallant, transferred to the Heaven 1 chapter. A very modest and humble man who loved the Blue Knights, it was his idea to start the club in 1974. 

What began as a single chapter with 7 members has grown to almost 16,000 members, 599 chapters, in 31 countries. Ed nor any of the Founding Fathers had any clue it would ever get to where it is today.

Please keep his lovely wife Maggie and Ed’s family in your thoughts and prayers. He is now riding again with fellow Heaven 1 chapter members and Founding Fathers Doug Minor, Joel Rudom, Chuck Gessner, and Bill Robinson. Thank you for your friendship and rest in paradise Ed you'll be missed. 

DJ Alvarez 

Past International President
