Tony Watson will share some websites and information on an app at our meeting on January 21.
Before Cammy gave us information on new procedures at Meals on Wheels, President Don asked her to share her vocational / classification talk, so she did that. Even club members who gave a program get a library book donated in their name.
I presented a program about my work as a volunteer pilot for Angel Flight South Central on December 10th. I talked about why there is such an organization, how missions are posted and accepted, and the actual flight planning for these missions. Angel Flight pilots pay for their aircraft expenses as well as fuel out of their own pocket. It does take effort to maintain the structure for screening patients and other compassion flight uses, as well as maintain waivers and communication, so those staffers are paid, just like most non-profits.
Many of us enjoyed supporting The Salvation Army's Christmas efforts by Ringing The Bell on December 7th at Kroger. We staffed the kettle from 10 a.m. to about 6. The kettle and other equipment were a bit late in arriving, but we still went to work getting folks to drop in a little cash.
Don Ellis and others took a few pictures, and I'll continue a few below.
