New York Chapter III was formed in March 2000, with the Charter application submitted April 15th.  Firefighter Dave Szary, from Westmere Fire Department, had seen the Red Knights MC at Americade in Lake George.  He knew of several other firefighters in the Westmere FD that owned motorcycles and approached them with the idea of forming an Albany, NY chapter.   Inviting a couple of friends from McKownville Fire and North Bethlehem Fire, Red Knights NY Chapter III was chartered by Red Knights International MC in June of that year with a total of 7 Charter Members (Dave Szary-President, Charles Cahill-VP, Mike Barber -Secretary, Howard Mierek-Treasurer, Tony Vogt-Ride Captain, Steve Albert, and Anthony Piccione).  Today, the Chapter has grown to over 90 members, Active, Social, Associate, and Honorary.
