Today's presentation was from BACA, Bikers Against Child Abuse. This was a great presentation, those who missed this mornings meeting, truly missed out. We heard from "Shots", the St George Chapter President. He was accompanied by fellow BACA members, "Rosko", "Pinkie", "Loco", "MZ B", "Hondo", and "Bob". When they are on BACA duty they go by their road names. (maybe we need club names, like Down Town, Chocolate Thunder, Baldy, Tiny. These were just a the first ones that came to mind.)

BACA exists with the intent to create a safer environment for abused children. They exist as a body of Bikers to empower children to not feel afraid of the world in which they live. They stand ready to lend support to their wounded friends by involving them with an established, united organization. They work in conjunction with local and state officials who are already in place to protect children. They desire to send a clear message to all involved with the abused child that this child is part of their organization, and that they are prepared to lend their physical and emotional support to them by affiliation, and their physical presence. They stand at the ready to shield these children from further abuse. They do not condone the use of violence or physical force in any manner, however, if circumstances arise such that they are the only obstacle preventing a child from further abuse, they stand ready to be that obstacle.
They shared some interesting statistics with us: 1 in 4 girls and 1 in 6 boys are sexually abused before age 18, 1/3 of those abused will later become abusers, and the St George Chapter is
currently protecting 12 families. Also, if you want to join BACA you are not required to ride a Harley Davidson, they do allow other bikes. (except Brandon's scooter)Aug 24th - BACA Night @ the RoadRunners, bring your bike with you.
Thank you so much for having us today. It was great to see how much the exchange club does for kids and child abuse awareness in the area. Very much looking foward to working with you in the future.

Pinky, it was our pleasure to have you. We can be a pretty funny group. Today's turn out really had to step it up to make up for the usual humor we get out of those that were not there today. I will let you know what we find out about the parade stuff.
