Dear Friend
As our odyssey to cultivate dreams continues, the TAM family has used creativity to amplify our influence in the community. Thanks to contributions from staff, volunteers ,and community partnerships, TAM has added more STEM activities (Science Technology Engineering Mathematics) in the past months to add transformational experiences to the lives of students in South LA.
It gives me great pleasure to report that with a grant awarded by the California Community Foundation Preparing Achievers for Tomorrow initiative, we have launched a summer program that increases knowledge of aviation and pathways to careers within the industry. TAM is committed to serving our community. Please enjoy this newsletter filled with exciting articles about the actions we are taking to make a change. "Almost always, the creative dedicated minority has made the world better" (Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.). We all have the power to make the world better if we simply dare to use our imagination to make change.
Sincerely,
 Robin Petgrave Founder & Executive Director Tomorrow's Aeronautical Museum
