Santa Clara Chapter is incredibly excited to announce our $6000 donation to California State Regent Sharon Maas’ State Regent’s Project for Honor Flight. Since August our chapter has been hard at work raising money for Honor Flight. We held a clothing drive for Savers thrift store and collected over 4000 pounds of goods to sell to the store, gathered from our closets, our neighbors, our family members, our coworkers, and the community through a drive-through drop-off event.

Throughout the year we passed a helmet for donations at chapter meetings and received donations from so many generous chapter members. We set aside chapter funds raised and donated by all of our members, and in April we threw a fabulous tea benefitting Honor Flight, complete with hats, gloves, and a fashion show.
