SStatement of Purpose

Founded January 1992

The Long Island Ravens M.C. is an brotherhood of men...

	who are proud to make the leather lifestyle an important part of their lives,
	who would like to further and strengthen the image of leather on Long Island,
	where leathermen can offer friendship and positive support to others like themselves. The club recognizes that this brotherhood consists of individuals who are able to maintain their individuality, personality and behavior patterns. We believe in the self worth of an individual and offer to our membership an extended family.

Our Motto:
Brotherhood, Loyalty and Pride

	*We are a brotherhood* of choice, bound by mutual respect, tolerance and love.**
	*We are loyal* to our brothers and our community.**
	*We are proud --* as symbolized by our colors -- proud of ourselves and our community.**

The L.I. Ravens M.C. is a member of the Atlantic Motorcycle Coordinating Council (AMCC). The AMCC was founded in 1969 as a forum for discussion among members clubs sharing a commonality of interest and geography. Their purpose is to encourage participation at sanctioned events coordinate event dates to prevent date conflicts between clubs, provide a discussion forum for items of club interest, and promote enjoyment of motorcycling, the leather/levi lifestyle and other activities among its members.

Welcome!

We do our best to support the tradition of hospitality and reciprocated trust to other men in our leather tribe. We recognize the special bonds in our brother leather clubs, and always welcome the opportunity to meet and party with friends and guests. If your club is coming to Long Island, please let us know way ahead of time. We'll make sure your stay is as comfortable as we can it.
