Luke Moon has certainly been busy since taking the crown of Laird Leatherman in August this year. He’s hosted fellow leather men from around the country, kick-started his monthly LLM BBQ stint, announced his charity of choice for his reigning year, hung out with VicBears at their inaugural Leather Den Night, and been an integral part in the formation of Vic Leather. In fact Luke was recently nominated as a committee member of this new & exciting community based group.
Luke will represent the Laird & Mannhaus over the next 12 months at a variety of social events, parties & more.
LUKE’S CHARITY OF CHOICE
Each Laird Leatherman is asked to choose, and fundraise for a charity that is close to their heart, and Luke’s choice of The Anti Violence Project is one that he is passionate about supporting. The AVP works to change people's perception through education & awareness campaigns, which is one of Luke’s p ersonal values & goals. “Most attacks are based on simply not knowing anything different”, he says. Luke will be announcing his LLM Raffle in early October where you will be able to support this great cause & go in the running for some great prizes. Come along on the 1st Sunday of each month as Luke hosts his LLM BBQ, raising funds for AVP.
Luke will be introducing his LLM Fundraising Raffle soon, with some great prizes on offer & all proceeds benefitting the AVP.
