GA Serves America The Red Cross used a simple message in their 1900's Christmas fundraisers: "All you need is a heart, and one dollar." This season, remember that message. Take your fervor for GA and spread goodwill. Remember: "Donate One".

Stay safe this season, and comment back on what you did to, “Donate one”.

GA Serves America Congratulations to Anne Osmer of Hendersonville, N.C., who soloed Dec. 1 in a Diamond DA20. Most impressive, Anne is 83!
