Gentlemen,

I sent this out to our Delta Clipped Wings members. Thought you might want to see it.

Regards,

Sue | sszino45@gmail.com

In keeping with Ed Bastian's commitment that Delta will donate 1% of net profits to communities where we live, work and serve, The Delta Air Lines Foundation is launching a new Matching Gifts to Education program.

Donations from Delta Air Lines employees, retirees and Board of Directors to approved educational institutions from pre-K to post-graduate will be matched on a 1-for-1 basis up to a $5,000 cap per individual per calendar year.

The Matching Gifts to Education program is another way for Delta people to support their communities.

For eligibility and more information, login to DeltaNet and type MATCHING GIFTS TO EDUCATION into the search field or email MatchGift@delta.com.

Good job, Mark. We need to read and hear everything, even a bogus Truman article. After all, you put it in Humor! Keep up the good work for us.

Editor: Dave, thanks. I was skeptical of the post but thought even if it weren’t true one could get a chuckle out of it. As it turned out I should have done some due diligence and checked its veracity. Thanks for the support though.
