At this meeting were Jetwash, Mickey, Minnie, Bubba and Dory. As I explained why I made the decision to leave our old club behind, I could see the discontent rise in their eyes. It was then that I pitched my idea of a club that would be what I had thought our former club was supposed to be.  Not only did they find the idea of starting a new club intriguing, each one of them removed their patches and decided to help me form our new club.  I had the idea of using "IK" in the name of our fledgling club. I wanted the name "knights" as part of the club. It took us a while, but Mickey came up with the word "immortal" for the first part of our name. We named our club the Immortal Knights Public Safety Motorcycle Club. The Phoenix was chosen as our back patch centerpiece. We chose that as we saw ourselves rising from the ashes of a crumbling mess and moving onward from that in a rebirth of something new. The reasoning behind using the letters I & K are, "I" is the ninth letter of the alphabet and "K" is the eleventh. Together they represent 911. The 911 has a double meaning in our club. It represents September 11th when the United States was attacked, and the emergency number that is called when the public is in need of a first responder. It was decided that the sign of our clubs founders would be the infinity symbol. The infinity would represent the original eight members of the Immortal Knights as well as keeping the memories of the fallen first responders alive. When we started this club, we thought about how we wanted to approach our bylaws. We wrote them with a national flavor but knew that we did not want to grow too fast. After the experiences from our former life, we saw firsthand what fast growth can do to an organization. So, we decided to take it slow. If that means we never grow out of the state of Utah, so be it. With that being said, we are not afraid of moving out of our home state, but will do it at our own pace. Our First Responders Tribute Ride is a cornerstone of the club. Each year we select a different first responder organization to raise money for. We beat the pavement and pound on doors working towards the end goal, which is the ride. We gather as many bikers as we can and ride through the local mountains. At the end of the ride we have some good food, raffle off some of the items that have been donated, and we also have an auction for some of the bigger items. Every penny we raise through these efforts is then given to the organization we ride for.   New Patrons: Dan Walters of Felton, CA Terrence Lewis Shelton
