Memento Mori
Memento Mori is Latin for "remember you must die". This phrase is a reminder to the living to live each moment of each day to the fullest. Do good for others, take care of your family and your community and simply, be someone you are proud to be. Should this be your last day on earth, did you put good into this world?

At Memento Mori LEMC, we are dedicated to our brothers and sisters. We are dedicated to our families and our communities. We will serve our communities and do everything in our power to bring good into the world. Membership in our family is earned through tests of loyalty and commitment to our mission of service and integrity. We will live each day like it’s our last, we will serve the heroes and good people of our communities to the very best of our abilities. We will always remember that tomorrow is not promised so, today is the day to make a difference.

To those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice, we thank you and we salute you! Rest easy, we’ll hold the line from here.

Founded

Memento Mori LEMC was founded in the spring of 2021 by a small group of LEOs in Minnesota. The club was molded by a group of brothers who share a passion for two wheels and the open road, as well as a passion for serving the community. Memento Mori LEMC was made official on August 21st 2021, with its original members. In February of 2022, Memento Mori became a registered Non-Profit organization. We continue to serve our communities day in and day out.

 

Requirements for Membership

Sec 1.

1. – All members (with the exception of Originals) must complete a “Hangaround” period of undetermined length before you may be eligible to “Prospect” with Memento Mori LEMC.

Members that do not have a background in LE or Military must meet all other requirements and are subject to bylaws written in Sec 1(b)(sub2).

 

(b)(Sub2)- Non-LE/Military FPMs. A person who does NOT have a background in LE or Military may be considered to prospect for FPM status if:

- They complete a minimum of 365 days as an Associate Member.

- They display exemplary performance and commitment to the Club and its causes

- They are willing to make a lifetime commitment to the Club

- The Executive Board agrees (in a majority vote), the member would benefit the club in a FPM status.

- The number of members with LE/Military exemption must NOT exceed 20% of the total number of full patch members in the Club as a whole. Thereof, 80% of all members must meet the requirement of LE/Military background.

-Should all of these requirements be met and the Board votes "YAY", in a "Majority Vote", the Associate member would be eligible for "Prospect" status. When a FPM decides to sponsor the Associate Member, the FPM will call for a "full chapter" vote to bring the member into "Prospect" status. This vote is a "Majority" vote of the Chapter that the Associate is a member. Should the vote pass, the Associate would then be patched in as a "Prospect" member. They must prospect for no less than 90 days, considering their 365 days as an Associate Member. Their prospecting period MUST NOT exceed 365 days without a vote being initiated for FPM. Should they reach day 366, the member will turn in all "Prospect" specific insignia and would then need to sit before the Executive Board (as well as their Chapter President) and complete a hearing to potentially be eligible to regain their Associate membership. "Prospect" status will only be allowed once to non-LE or Military persons. Should they not pass the prospecting period, they will never be eligible again.
