Chapter 1610 extends a sincere THANK YOU to all those who contributed to the TREE OF HOPE.
The collection boxes located in the NorthPoint Aviation GA Lobby and in Wings Airport Café provided for a respectable number of children’s gifts and toys for this charity. As you may recall, TREE OF HOPE is an aviation-based charity that helps to put smiles on the faces of children over the holidays who are in hospitals recovering from surgery, an accident, or a major illness.
Mike Petersen and I delivered these to Hanger H at St. Cloud Regional Airport on Saturday morning, December 10th. We got to witness an amazing group of volunteers receiving, sorting, packaging and distributing THOUSANDS of donated toys destined for Minnesota, Wisconsin and North Dakota hospitals, Ronald McDonald Houses, and Catholic Charities children’s shelters.
Here is what it looked like inside Hanger H that morning.
