Wishes in Flight

Fundraisers The Make-A-Wish Foundation is looking for busy travelers to donate their air miles to the Foundation through its Wishes in Flight program.

Men’s Questing Community Now Forming:

Support Groups In one sense the voyage of self-discovery is solitary, but that doesn’t mean you have to take it alone. A lot of men suffer silently when they are in creative chaos and feel something is wrong with them because they don’t realize other men are experiencing similar disintegration of the old modes of masculinity. In matters of the psyche and spirit, taking the journey and telling the story go hand in glove, and that is why we need a listening community in order to make our solitary pilgrimmage. The most powerful resource we have for transforming ourselves is honest conversation between men. Men who are in trouble with romance, marriage, family, alchol, drugs, or work are good candidates for this group. If interestsed, call Ken at 570-992-5874. Region: *Poconos. Cost: . Reservations: .

Wishes in Flight

Fundraisers The Make-A-Wish Foundation is looking for busy travelers to donate their air miles to the Foundation through its Wishes in Flight program. Many non-profit organizations need money, but few require air miles to make their charitable work possible. Frequent fliers with air miles from Delta, US Airways, Continental or United* hold the ticket to granting the wishes of local children with life-threatening medical conditions. Travel is the biggest expense for wishes granted by the Foundation. For example, at least 200,000 air miles are needed to send a family of four to the Orlando theme parks and at least 300,000 are needed for a trip to Hawaii. Once donated, the miles never expire and the Foundation turns them into free flights. To make a donation of air miles, please visit www.wishgreaterpa.org, or call us at 1-800-676-9474.

Wishes in Flight

Fundraisers The Make-A-Wish Foundation is looking for busy travelers to donate their air miles to the Foundation through its Wishes in Flight program. Many non-profit organizations need money, but few require air miles to make their charitable work possible. Frequent fliers with air miles from Delta, US Airways, Continental or United* hold the ticket to granting the wishes of local children with life-threatening medical conditions. Travel is the biggest expense for wishes granted by the Foundation. For example, at least 200,000 air miles are needed to send a family of four to the Orlando theme parks and at least 300,000 are needed for a trip to Hawaii. Once donated, the miles never expire and the Foundation turns them into free flights. To make a donation of air miles, please visit www.wishgreaterpa.org, or call us at 1-800-676-9474.
