Part of the Full Tilt Mission is community Service and every chapter contributes in its own way.

The Waynesville Chapter is participating in the ongoing efforts of liter prevention and highway beautification. The FTR crew has adopted a stretch of road in their own backyard, and will be responsible for upkeep of the half mile stretch of highway. They will periodically put away the bikes and pull out the rakes and brooms.

Full Tilt Riders Portland adopted a a financially challenged

family for the Christmas holiday. the single parent family

consists of a mother, 7-year old daughter and 16-year old

son who's only wish for the holiday was that his little sister

has a Christmas.

FTR put together a huge food basket with all the ingredients

to allow Mary Jane to prepare agreat Chrismas dinner. The

crew took the family's wish list and provided gifts for the entire

family. When the bottom of the tree was full of presents and

mary Jane asked, "Is all this for us?", we knew our job was

done. (Click photo below)

Fulfilling the community service portion of the full Tilt mission

is a leading priority of the newly formed FTR Chapter of

Waynesville, MO. In the small military community, the crew is

already becoming know as the riders with big hearts.

One of the first acts of this chapter was to give back to the

local community. They put together a huge food basket,

overflowing with enough food and fixings for a Thanksgiving feast.

The club masde sure there was enough food to feed an entire 5-

person family thathappened to be down on its luck this holiday

season.

For the fourth consecutive year, Full Tilt Riders Portland

The first official event of the Waynesville/St. Roberts Chapter

was a car and bike wasy.  The crew took to the pavement in

the scorchinghot sun. A staedy stream of cars and bikes lined

up to support the full Tilt Riders. While customers waited, they

were treated tocomplimentary beverages and snacks.

A large portion of the procedes were donated to local charities.

Full Tilt Riders Portland spent an afternoon with a great

group of boys form St. Mary's Home for Boys. Founded

in 1889 as an orphanage for abandoned and wayward

children, today St.Mmary's offers residential treatment

and services to at risk boys between the ages of 10 and

17. The boys learned about the pros and cons of each

bike and were allowed to sit on them and rev th engines.

The boys were also given FTR T-Shirts.

Several weeks later, we received a whole bag of thank

you letters form these kids. But I think FTR members

enjoyed the experience more than the kids.
