MISSION NEWS:

The Winter edition of the Mission Aviation Fellowship [M.A.F.) has arrived full of interesting information as usual. Once again they are asking for donations towards fuel to keep them flying their life saving missions. You may remember we gathered money for jerry cans of fuel as a Father's Day gift last year. How many jerry cans can we fill this year? .Any donation is welcome; rivets, tools, windsocks, all help keep the planes in the air. During August we will have a retiring collection for M.A.F. on the Mission table. Can you help?
