Dear SAFE Members,

With "Black -Friday", "Cyber-Monday", and "Give-Back-Tuesday" now behind us, you've probably had your share of junk mail. I hope you agree that this email is not junk.  While I am keenly aware that I sent you an end-of-year appeal letter in the middle of November, I think it is important to follow-up on that email.

Some of you responded quite generously to that appeal, and if you are one of those I offer you my most hearty and sincere gratitude. For you, there is no need to read any further. But for those of you who might have intended to respond, but let the moment slip by, I am asking, again, for your help.

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. 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. 

 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 match your donation. 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.

Doug  Stewart

Executive Director
