Show March 7, 1980 HILL TOP TIMES Page 14 AFAFs Pledge f ram, &wfl, sworn The 1980 Air Force Assistance Fund (AFAF) drive kicked off last Thursday at a breakfast in the NCO Club. Col. Robert Acres, chief. Personnel Division, served as master of ceremonies and introduced Col. A. Paul Bruno, Ogden ALC vice commander and this year's drive chairman. Colonel Bruno stated that the base goal this year was $16,407. Even though this was the goal, last year's contributions exceeded $29,000 and it was hoped 1980 would see a larger contribution. The colonel stated that last year on Hill AFB, the Air Force Aid Society disbursed $59,000 to 214 people. This is a sign that much of the money stays right here. Keynote speaker for the event was William C. Athas, state president of the Air Force Association ( AFA) and a retired Air Force member. He told the project officers, "Work is not going to get done until you people out there make it work. You have to look at the real world, the way it is. People do need help. "I would like to call you the 'Tiger Team,' " he said. "You're young, energetic and I know you can make it work. "Some of you may be asking, 'What are we doing here?' "It is simple," he commented. "You'll lead the parade. "In 1980, we do have some real problems. Nobody has enough money. But that does not excuse us from what we have to do. You're r y . going to go out and reach the people. It is the only way the drive will work. "Very important is your timing. Don't wait," he said. "This program starts this morning. Do your homework. Have confidence in what you are doing and keep the faith. 'There are many, many people who need your help." Before fee kick-of- f ended, four units came forward which had exceeded their goals.

With rising prices for food, clothing, fuel, and just about everything, it's not surprising that many of us are strapped for cash. But there's an easy way to give, without missing a cent the payroll deduction plan. You can make an allotment for as little as one dollar a month. We hope you'll give more. Your donation will be deducted from your pay automatically. And if you don't see it, you don't miss it, right? So don't let an empty wallet stop you from contributing to the Air Force Assistance Fund. Payroll deduction makes it (AFNS) painless.

It's about people whose hobbies or habits are so unusual you might think they're made up. "Real People" is what the Air Force Assistance Fund is about, too. Your donation doesn't help some imaginary character, it helps real people. It helps your neighbor or your coworker. Maybe it even helps you! You can't get more real than that. (AFNS) |
