Rotary District 7680 Schedules

Second Flight of Honor Sept. 19

Rotary District 7680 has committed to sponsoring another Flight of Honor
(FOH) Saturday, Sept. 19.  In the process of sponsoring the April 18th
flight, we had 31 applications waiting when all the seats were filled.  The
FOH Steering Committee knew the need for another flight exists and that the
World War II veterans are passing at the rate of 1,200 to 1,500 daily, so
the committee agreed to organize the Sept. 19 flight.

Dave McKnight and Kelly Morris agreed to Co-Chair the committee. Almost all
of the committee members agreed to work on the next flight, and some new
members have joined the committee.

The Committee will be encouraging clubs of the District to spread the word
among World War II veterans, with particular emphasis on trying to find the
veterans who would like to go, but couldn’t afford to go without the Flight
of Honor.

Steve Brandt, public relations chair of the April 18th flight will present a
program on the Flight of Honor to our club July 10th meeting.  Steve was on
the flight and has first-hand knowledge of what it meant to the veterans on
the flight.
