I would like to share something special that happened this summer.   I volunteered to host International Air Cadet Exchange cadets inbound from Canada and the Netherlands.  The budget that I was given was $30.00 per day, per head.  That was to feed, house and entertain our guests.  Realizing that the tour would be lacking on that kind of budget, I set out to fund raise.  I sent out 85 letters to family, friends, and former cadets.  I expected about a 10% response and an average donation of $25.00.  To my amazement, I received over 40 responses with an average donation of $100.00.  This increased our budget by $3000.00, which made the trip just incredible for our visitors.  I would like to thank the following people for their kind contributions:
