IF YOU LIKE THE IDEA OF THANKSGIVING FIELD you might like to consider befriending it.

 

There are two main actions, and a suggested extra.

 

FIRST IS to simply sign up  as a member of the Happy Landings Club - see panel on right.

 

There's no fee, no formalities, and no obligations. Simply send in your name by e-mail to get any updates or news - and no, there won't be a stream of these.

 

It's possible that sometime members of the Happy Landings Club local to Winkfield might find themselves having some form of social gatherings - or taking part in such happy housekeeping duties as giving the horses in the Field their annual apples.

 

SECOND IS to support one of the two good causes below dedicated to happy landings. 

 

Both seem to be great examples of the generosity of spirit we find all around. 

 

They’ve an on-line facility for individuals, families or groups to give.

 

THIRD, AND AS IMPORTANT?  Pass the word to business organisations, that they might support these examples of people doing great work today to help hope and lives grow tomorrow



 
     a cause to treasure in the UK
 

fly2help is an aviation charity that inspires positive change through the wonder of flight.

 

Established by a group of passionate aviators in 2006, their vision is for everyone to be able to access the positive benefits of aviation.

 

fly2help is based at Cotswold Airport in Gloucestershire, and is now expanding to be a national charity, running activities at 15 airfields throughout the country and counting.


Air Smiles Days

fly2help provides Air Smiles Days - exciting experience days, centred around a short flight in a light aircraft - to people living in difficult situations, including illness, disability, bereavement and isolation. Air Smiles aim to bring joy and laughter, create and capture magical memories, boost confidence and self-esteem and offer respite to individuals, families and groups.


 

Aim High

fly2help's educational programme encourages young people to consider a future career within the aviation industry.

Rosie the Riveter Charter High School is situated in Long Beach, California – close to the factory where our B17 was built, and where many of the workers were women (known as Rosies).

 

Established in September 2007, Rosie the Riveter Youth Programs provide a rigorous, standards-based secondary education and the opportunity to experience the world around.

 

The school has helped thousands of students who have not succeeded in traditional high schools turn their lives around and become socially successful while achieving academic levels necessary for high school graduation and success in registered apprenticeships in the construction and building trades.

 

Their WINTER program educates Women In Non-Traditional Employment Roles. The school provides community transformation through life skills training, employment training, violence prevention strategies, and family advocacy.

In addition to core academic classes, the school provides a rich elective and innovating program that offer students a chance to explore the opportunities that community colleges offer. Students interested in construction and public utilities industry are able to “test drive a career” so to speak, and learn about the skills and earning potential these careers offer.

A major driver behind WINTER has been
Executive Director Alexandra Torres Galancid.

Before taking the reins at WINTER, Alex directed several city of Los Angeles non-profit organizations, focusing on child abuse and violence prevention programs and women’s health services. With the City of Los Angeles Community Development Department she set up training staff on social services delivery systems at the “one stop community service centers” a model for the “family and youth centers” now operated by the Department.  Alex participates and makes recommendations to advisory boards and committees at the City, County, State and National level.
