For those of you who were not at the meeting last evening

It is with great sadness I inform you that we lost one of our own.

Staff Sergeant Ari R. Cullers

A Prospect of the New London Motorcycle Club, a Waterford resident, a Hero, who lost his life in Afghanistan along with two of his brother soldiers defending this county.

He is the Godson of member John "Wolfie" Drew who was Ari's Club sponsor. He was a polite gentleman who attended his first meeting while on leave and was shipping out for his very last tour. He was so enthused about becoming a member of the NLMC he went out and bought a brand new motorcycle before going back to Afghanistan. He took with him one of our Club flags and had a picture taken with the flag and his entire unit. That picture will be framed and hung at the Clubhouse in memoriam.

We will assemble the Honor Guard at the appropriate time. We have no specific information at this time but I will alert you when we do.
