"Friends
for Fun, Safety, and Knowledge"
Welcome to Louisiana's newest chapter of the Gold Wing Road Rider's Association. The LA-O chapter is located in Franklinton, Louisiana and was chartered in June 2004. While the chapter is located in Franklinton our members come from surrounding Louisiana parishes as well as surrounding Mississippi counties. Franklinton is the home of the world's largest free fair, the Washington Parish Free Fair. The Washington Parish Free Fair is located on beautiful grounds in Historic Franklinton and offers visitors a fantastic experience during October of each year.

LA-O Chapter Directors Gladys And Ernest Vernon
Welcome to LA-O, Louisiana’s newest GWRRA Chapter.
We have been GWRRA members since 1997, owning
a 1986 Aspencade 1200, to which we attached a sidecar in 2000. After several
years, we obtained a 1997 Gold Wing 1500 with a California II sidecar
which we still enjoy today. After riding for quite some time with a nearby
Mississippi chapter, we became Charter members of LA-O when it organized
in June 2004.
We are delighted to be serving as Chapter Directors for 2008 and have
three goals for our GWRRA family: have FUN, be SAFE [by taking advantage
of our safety education programs], and GROW. We need you to meet these
goals. Come join us on a ride [check our calendar] or come visit with
us! We welcome you to attend our monthly gatherings, which are held the
first Friday of each month at 6 p.m. at Pine’s Seafood Restaurant
in Pine, LA. Our gatherings are casual and friendly and open to everyone
who owns a motorcycle. Hope to see you soon!
Gladys and Ernest Vernon
"Chapter Motto"
Motorcycling is a constant learning experience! You'll never know all there is to know about riding, but a year from now, you'll know alot more than you know now!
Assistant CD, Jim Cothern, had bypass heart surgery on 09-30-2008 at St. Tammany Hospital in Covington, La.. Please keep Jim, Bonnie and their family in your prayers as he recovers from this illness.

Some of the booth ideas the staff came up with, but not limited to are, Game booths, Sweet Shop, Mardi Gras merchandise booth, Ice Cream booth, Water booth with your own label, ETC. This venue can be a lot of fun and exciting for all your members. The Louisiana staff wants to hear from Chapter Directors and staff this month so we can begin planning. Use your imagination to be successful and have fun!
Some details discussed so far are:
• Themes and booth merchandise cannot duplicate any vendors
