CAL Pilots Help Out Your Furloughed Brothers and Sisters this Holiday Season

From CAL FORUMS. Within 24 hours we have raised enough for a $25 Visa Check Card for all 147 of our furloughed brothers and sisters we are attempting to at least double that number. Please help.

HELP-A-PILOT Needs Secret Santas!

Times are tough. The economy is in a downward spiral. For those on furlough, this Christmas may be lean. In an effort to ensure that each of our furloughed pilots have at least enough to provide a Christmas dinner, we are starting a fund drive. Our goal is to raise enough to present every furloughed pilot with a $25 Visa Check Card to pay for their family’s Christmas dinner (or gifts for their kids. There’s nothing worse than a Christmas morning without a visit from Santa!) And, you can rest assured that if we raise even one dollar more, every penny will be equally divided amongst the 147. Please help support Kari Degurse’s great idea and pet project to show our furloughed pilots and their families that they are not forgotten. Please give what you can. If we can get $12.50 from 300 pilots we will have met our goal. Anything else would be very generous. Thanks and Merry Christmas to all….

Donations can be made to PAYPAL AT: www.paypal.com then enter: [email protected]

Donations can also be made at any Chartway Credit Union, Account Number: 98884880 Thank you for your consideration. Also, thanks to Mark Benton for approving this fund drive. If you are a furloughee mentor, please let us know if your family is in extra-special need. We have one of the most generous pilot groups out there. We’ll figure out something!

Fraternally, Sherry Q. "
