COMMUNITY

A NOTE FROM OUR CHAIRMAN

To educate it is best to first inspire, air, sea and space has that ability to inspire!

"Exploration and discovery inspired this country to greatness. It was Armstrong landing on the moon, the Wright brothers first flight and the early expeditions like Lewis and Clark made our citizenry wonder, dream and imagine. These amazing achievements inspired our youth to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering and math. Today it's a challenge to find these moments that make you remember where you were on that day. We have the privledge to have them live on through our projects and programs and continue to inspire our youth and adults alike."

Thanks for the support that make our programs possible so we can continue to bring inspiration to our community and educate.

Bryan S. Lilley

Chairman of the Board
