In addition, they could support Harrisburg area organizations that assist under-privileged children, senior citizens, the homeless, and any other groups that might need help. On August 14, 1991, an election was held for president, vice-president, secretary and treasurer. The elected officers then nominated members for road captain, pace setters and flanker positions; the roles of these road officers being to ensure safe riding formations on the highway.
