Subject: Weekend Hanger Talks Featuring the Replica 1911 Wright Model B Starting July 29

WEEKEND HANGAR TALKS AT HUFFMAN PRAIRIE FLYING FIELD
FEATURING THE REPLICA 1911 WRIGHT MODEL B FLYER

Beginning July 29, 2016, Dayton Aviation Heritage National Historical Park will launch a series of hangar talks featuring the replica 1911 Wright B Flyer at the Huffman Prairie Flying Field on Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.

Built by Tom and Nancy Valentine, this functioning prop was featured in the 1978 television movie The Winds of Kitty Hawk. The plane, also known as the Valentine Flyer and the Yellow Bird, was eventually purchased by non-profit organization Wright B Flyer, Inc., of Springboro, Ohio, and is on temporary loan to Dayton Aviation Heritage National Historical Park throughout the summer. The Wright B Flyer is one of many park attractions and events planned in recognition of the National Park Service's 100th anniversary on August 25, 2016.

To learn more about the Wright B Flyer, meet the rangers at the replica hangar between the hours of 10 A.M. and 4 P.M. on Fridays and Saturdays, July 29 through October 1. The Huffman Prairie Flying Field is located at Gate 16A, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. These programs are free and require no reservations (though large groups are encouraged to contact the park in advance). Hangar talks will be cancelled in the event of inclement weather.

For additional information about this or other events at Dayton Aviation Heritage National Historical Park, please contact Jewel Harris (jewel_harris@nps.gov), visit: www.nps.gov/daav, or call: 937-225-7705.

Solar Cars Coming Soon to
Dayton Aviation Heritage National Historical Park
during the American Solar Challenge

1,975-mile solar car rally to visit 9 National Park Service sites in celebration of the agency's centennial

Dayton Aviation Heritage National Historical Park is proud to support science innovation and celebrate the National Park Service Centennial by hosting a stop on the American Solar Challenge.  University teams from around the world designed and built solar-powered cars that will go through a series of tests on a closed track. Teams that qualify will drive their cars 1,975 miles on the open road during an 8-day rally, stopping at 9 different National Park Service sites in 7 states.

Solar cars competing in the 2016 American Solar Challenge will race to Carillon Historical Park in partnership with Dayton Aviation Heritage National Historical Park.  Depending on traffic, weather, and energy management decisions made by each of the teams, the solar cars are expected to arrive between 1:30-6:00 pm at Carillon Historical Park. Each solar car will stay on display at the checkpoint for 45-minutes before continuing on the route.  Visitors are invited to see the cars and enjoy the other activities, including discovering how climate change impacts the Midwest, making sun-heated s'mores, and finding out how solar energy works by creating solar cars, planes, and other solar powered devices. The event is free and open to the public.

We continue to be very busy as the summer is now upon us. Our landscaping, farm and maintenance crews for Homefull Solutions are working hard every day.  We are providing programs for the children who live in our housing sites.  And, we just completed another successful golf outing where we had fun in the sun with a lot of great friends!

We are also proud of the recognition that Homefull receives as we were most recently named the recipient of the Dayton Business Journal's "Innovation Index Award" for the way we look at combating homelessness in an "out of the box" way.

 

I am so grateful for each of you and for what you provide to Homefull.  We continue to assist a population with significant needs and it is through your support that this is possible.

Respectfully, Tina M. Patterson; CEO
    

Homefull Wins Dayton Business Journal Innovation Index Award

Homefull is excited to announce that we were recently named a winner of the Innovation Index Award in the Service to Society category by the Dayton Business Journal! This award recognizes the top innovative leaders in the Dayton region. Homefull was honored for its contributions in best practices such as: Coordinated Entry, Rapid Re-housing, and Social Enterprise. The DBJ formed a partnership with the Dayton Development Coalition for these awards, designed to highlight the best individuals, teams and companies who discovered innovative approaches and solutions to fuel the region's economic engine. "We are so excited to be recognized for our work. It is with that same Dayton spirit of Innovation that we continue to develop programs and services that will move us closer to our vision of a community where there is no homelessness," said Homefull CEO Tina Patterson.

 

Hole in One for Homefull Golf Outing a Success

Homefull hosted our annual Hole in One for Homefull Golf Outing at Heatherwoode Golf Club recently.  With beautiful weather, it was a great day to raise awareness for Homefull's mission to work to end homelessness by providing housing, services, advocacy and education. A special thank you to all of our sponsors, including Signature Sponsor - Midwest Clinical Research and Major Sponsors: Kettering Health Network, Fifth Third Bank, TriComB2B, Rieck Services, Horenstein, Nicholson & Blumenthal, and the Walsh Family for making this event a huge success!

Quartitia's Story

Quartitia and her two children are all smiles after moving out of the Apple Street Emergency Shelter and into permanent housing.  After months of struggling with financial and housing instability, Quartitia and her children started working with their Homefull case manager, Emily Hawes at the Shelter.

Emily was able to help them transition out of homelessness and into housing.  Now, with the help of a Homefull community-based case manager, Quartitia and her family can focus on their new goals to continue their success.  Quartitia plans to search for full-time employment and is grateful for the employment tips and advice she received from Homefull. Quartitia's children are now more stable with school, as they are able to study in the privacy of their own bedrooms.

"My Homefull case manager, Emily, really helped me and my family when we needed it most.  We are now back on track and know we couldn't have done it without Homefull," says Quaritita.
   
    

Volunteer Focus: Veolia Water Technologies

Veolia Water Technologies volunteers help out at the micro-farm with mulching raised beds. Homefull recently hosted three great volunteers from Veolia Water Technologies in Vandalia at the Homefull Micro-Farm in West Dayton.  The volunteers joined Homefull staff for some hard work and fun for their corporate-sponsored service day. Activities included: clearing and mulching raised reds, harvesting produce to be sold at local Farmer's Markets including Second Street Market and Wright Stop Plaza in Downtown Dayton, and unloading hay bales and other supplies.  A productive day was had by all! Veolia employee and volunteer Veronica Moore says "I was inspired by Homefull.  It was a great experience working on the micro-farm right in the heart of the community."

Estate Planning and IRA Changes

Have you ever considered a gift to Homefull in your estate planning process?  There are many different ways to make a legacy gift while still making sure that your family and heirs are taken care of.  Many of these are quite simple to do and can include significant tax benefits, too. Planned Gift opportunities such as setting up charitable lead and remainder trusts, simple bequests and even including Homefull as a small percentage beneficiary of a life insurance policy are something that you can do. In addition, for those over 70 1/2 years old, what had been a renewed tax benefit for many years is now a permanent allowable tax benefit.  Individuals who are required to make minimum distribution each year can give up to $100,000 from their IRA directly to a qualifying charitable organization and receive significant tax benefits as well as have it count toward their annual distribution. It's an easy way to make a significant impact on an organization.  To do so, contact your financial planner or tax accountant. For more information or to let Homefull know that we are already in your estate plans, please email John Patterson or call him at (937) 293-1945 ext. 535.
