Students Receive Backpacks from Disney Give a Day Volunteers
 
Backpacks with school suppliesThanks to Disney Give a Day!
New and returning students in the Aero Squad After School Program are now receiving backpacks full of school supplies thanks to all of the volunteers from Disney Give a Day that took the time to put together hundreds of backpacks for TAM. Each backpack will help a child stay organized and encouraged to stay in school and study a little bit harder. A million volunteers around the nation have already signed up so the Disney Give a Day program is now closed. There are still many opportunities to volunteer at TAM. Click here to request more information.
If you are not already an Aviation Angel, please join us now for only $50 per year at www.tamuseum.org/angels. All Aviation Angels will be entered into a drawing for three fabulous prizes at the Legacy Dinner.
 
It is your volunteerism and financial support that allows us to accomplish these things so once again, thank you and keep up the good work!  
 
Sincerely,

Robin Petgrave
