Membership
Meetings:
Our meetings are held at VFW Post 670, located on Doc Bennett Road behind
the Fayetteville Airport. We typically meet the fourth Thursday of
each month at 7:00 p.m. however, there are a few exceptions
Quarterly meetings are held in March, June, and September on the fourth
Sunday at 2:30 p.m.
These quarterly
meetings allow those who are unable to attend the monthly evening meetings
the opportunity to meet membership requirements and participate in chapter
business.
The November meeting is usually on the third Thursday of the month due to
Thanksgiving. The December meeting is usually held in conjunction
with the chapter Christmas party on a Saturday evening.

Becoming a Member
Who Can Join
- We invite anybody interested in the issues and topics we focus our
efforts on to join. You do not have to be a veteran or have served
in Vietnam. You do not have to own a motorcycle. Members must
be able to dedicate enough time to participate and make a difference in
the organization.
How to Join
- To become a member of Rolling Thunder®
you need to submit a completed application and membership dues for the
first year. The only place to get a membership application is at one
of our meetings. Guests are more than welcome to attend our monthly
membership meetings, and this is the best way to get a feel for the
organization and to learn more about what Rolling Thunder®
is all about. Please contact us for more information.
Benefits of Membership
- There are benefits to becoming a member of our organization. Our
members are close friends and we have a great time when we get together.
The events and activities that we are involved in are a lot of fun and
provide us the chance to make new friends. As a group, we are
afforded the opportunity to support area veterans and/or their families.
Being a member of Rolling Thunder provides the chance to be part of
something "bigger than yourself." Yes, that sounds cliché, but it's
true. Everyone brings a certain skill set to the table...together we
make a difference!
