BAKER HIGH SCHOOL - COLUMBUS, GA

UPDATE: WWII VETERAN HONOR FLIGHTS

2010-01-26T13:24:27-04:00

West Georgia Honor Flight (www.wgahonorflight.org) exists to honor America’s veterans for all their sacrifices. Our goal is to fly WWII veteran heroes from the Columbus, GA area to Washington, D.C. to reflect at their national memorials for a one day visit. Our senior heroes will travel absolutely free.

The effort – which includes training volunteer “guardians”, chartering an airline, renting accessible tour buses, wheelchairs, etc. will cost approximately $68,000 per flight. WWII veterans fly first-come, first-served as funds are raised for each flight. Terminally ill veterans and veterans over 90 will have top priority. All plans are completely coordinated through the national Honor Flight Network, www.honorflight.org

Each Honor Flight carries approximately 85 veterans and 50 volunteer guardians. The guardians help the veterans throughout the day by pushing wheelchairs, assisting with loading/unloading, delivering lunch and being a trusted companion for the veterans. Without these volunteers we would not be able to carry out the dreams of so many veterans, enabling them to see the memorials built in their honor. Each guardian pays $400 which covers their cost of the trip.

The Honor Flight Fund is a Designated Fund of the Community Foundation of the Chattahoochee Valley, Inc., making it possible for tax-deductible donations to be made in support of the flight. Donations may be made to the Fund by phone at (706) 320-0027; via credit card at the Community Foundation’s website, www.cfcv.com or by sending a check to: The West Georgia Honor Flight Fund

c/o The Community Foundation of the Chattahoochee Valley, Inc.

1340 13^th Street

Columbus, GA 31901-2345

Checks should be payable to “The West Georgia Honor Flight Fund”

Applications for the veterans, guardians and volunteers are all available on the website www.wgahonorflight.org

WWII VETERAN HONOR FLIGHTS

2010-01-26T13:21:25-04:00

Thankfully, many WWII Veterans enjoyed the first Honor Flight to Washington, D.C. on Sept. 22, 2009. And Yipee! On Friday, April 16th and Friday April 23rd there are two more Honor Flights! This is for all World War II veterans and terminally ill veterans from other wars. A private plane will leave from Columbus and take them directly to Washington, D.C. at no cost to them. For more info you can go to www.wgahonorflight.org . Currently, 90 have signed up and there will be approximately 85 per flight plus guardians, medical team and a news team. There is a printable form on that website that needs to be completed and mailed in.

RE: Lion Forum How To's

2009-06-04T21:04:52-04:00

Hey Gary,

Each "How To" above provides information on "How To" do certain things while you are utilizing the Lion Forums. You don't have to use any of them. But if you have photos you want to upload into a "reply" for "show and tell", etc..... then read HOW in one of the above "How to's"..... If you have a video you'd like to show everyone, read the above "How to" on processing it into YouTube.com, getting an embedded code, and posting it here in your REPLY so folks can view it.... The messages above are if you are feeling "creative" and want to JAZZ up your Lion Forum messages - add photos - videos, etc...... otherwise you can just type regular typing and communicate thata way ... up to you! After you use the Forums a bit - believe the "How To's" above will make more sense.... :> Terry

JUKEBOX Information

2009-05-08T01:26:32-04:00

We have a JUKEBOX (Playlist) on our site home page and it's now been "modified" so it does not automically start playing for you. Whenever you are ready to hear the music, scroll to the Music box on the Home Page scroll to what you want to hear - click on the song title and then click the PLAY arrow.

It will automatically play the next song when finished with this one but you can stop this by press the PLAY arrow which is now a STOP button.

It won't start back up until you "tell it to" by repeating the above .....

You can make as many contributions as you'd like - all at once or a few over a period of time, etc... As stated above, we received requests for a means to make contributions to our funds and some Lions even suggested we implement an "Annual Fee" each Lion could pay if they'd like. So....here's a method to do so - Again VOLUNTARY, also private and amount is up to you - every little bit will add up! THANKS!!!

HOW TO ADD PIZZAZ TO YOUR TEXT!

1. We Now have Visual Editor for our Lion Forums. While in a message, notice the Icon Menu at the top of the message you are creating.

2. Wow! Look at all the "stuff". Focus on the second row from the top icons. You'll see B for Bold, I for Italicize, U for underline, ABC for strikethrough, and believe you can "get" the others by lightly placing your mouse over each one....

3. Use them as you would in a Word software package....
