Dear SAFE Member,

The Society of Aviation and Flight Educators, SAFE, will soon be celebrating its 6th anniversary.  As I look back to where we started I realize just how far we have come.  To continue our growth we need some extra help from our members.  While many members donate their time and energy to SAFE, the work of SAFE  still takes money.  We are asking you to please consider a  donation to SAFE before the end of the year. As a 501-C-3 organization, your donation to SAFE is fully tax-deducible.

Since our founding in 2009, SAFE has provided our members with valuable support through our growing Resource Center, our eMagazine, member benefits, the finest CFI insurance program available, mentoring, and ongoing representation at the highest levels with the FAA, the NTSB, and other aviation stakeholders.

Our slogan is "We're all about our members." We are constantly working to give you the support you need, so that you can assist current and future aviators in realizing their dreams. Without your service and dedication, their dreams might never come true.

Please help us keep those dreams alive with your year-end donation to SAFE.

Volunteering as a SAFE member also helps to "keep the dream alive." Whether it's by participating as a committee member, staffing our exhibits at AirVenture or Sun 'N Fun, contributing to our Resource Center, or serving on the Board of Directors, volunteering is an important part of your organization.

However there are still costs associated with maintaining your organization.  Your membership dues only cover a portion of these costs.  You can provide critical support by making a tax-deductible donation to SAFE. Simply click or go to http://www.safepilots.org/store/donate-to-safe/.  If you prefer you can send a check to: SAFE, Inc., PO Box 4283, Ventura, CA 93007-4283. Your monetary donation will help fund SAFE's operation in 2015. Also, please consider giving the gift of a SAFE membership to a friend, peer, co-worker, or junior colleague. 

Your year-end gift, large or small, will help SAFE continue to grow and to provide more benefits to our members, while helping others in our aviation community fulfill their dreams.  I'm pleased to tell you several current and former members of the SAFE Board of Directors have accepted a challenge to match donations made before the end of the year. So for every dollar you donate, these members will donate another two dollars. Please give the gift of aviation education through a monetary donation to SAFE. 

On behalf of the Board of Directors and myself, we would like to thank you for your support and wish you a happy and SAFE holiday season and a prosperous 2015.
