Local philanthropy W om en are key players in raising m oney for com m unity projects

By Jill Halpin Correspondent

Forget about “mommy wars” and coffee klatches; those are things of the past. Most women these days are focused on something much more important: building better communities through philan­ thropy and charitable work. Moreover, whether it is through their chosen careers or personal volunteer efforts, women are making a big impact in fundraising and community development, as well as teach­ ing others about the importance of giving back along the way. “The concept of volunteer­ ing and providing support is not new to women; they have just taken it to a new level,” said Margo Gorchow, vice presi­ dent for community relations, m arketing and development at Botsford Hospital in Farm ing- ton.

Volunteers help rebuild Yankee Air Museum

By Sue Mason Observer Staff Writer

Rebuilding the Yankee A ir Museum has been a labor of love for the members of the Yankee A ir Force. With only four paid employees, includ­ ing Executive Director Kevin Walsh, much of the work is done by the vol­ unteers who painstaking­ ly restore aircraft, cre­ ate a resource library and organize fundraisers to benefit the museum. Volunteers have been busy rebuilding the museum after its collec­ tion of artifacts, memora­ bilia and several planes were destroyed in a 2004 fire that leveled the han­ gar it had called home. The historic wooden building had been used by Henry Ford to build B- 24s during World War II. Luckily, the heart of the museum’s collec­ tion — the B-17, C-47 and B-25 aircraft — were moved out of the build­ ing by volunteers before the fire reached them. Those three planes are the only flyable aircraft in the museum collection PHOTOS BY STEPHEN CANTRELL | STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER and are going somewhere every weekend.

Is your fam ily tired of eating the same thing for breakfast, lunch or dinner? Not sure if trying a new recipe fits into your busy schedule? It’s eas­ ier than you think to break out of the usual rou­ tine, especially when you have these quick, kid- frie n d ly recipes that b rin g a taste o f the tropics to yo u r meals.

Vitamin C promotes healthy immune function, w hile v ita m in A is im p ortan t fo r vision and bone growth.

When it comes to losing weight and get­ ting in shape, Jamie Walker, co-found­ er and president of the online health com­ munity Pit Approach (www.FitApproach. com), knows a thing or two. A Yoga Alli­ ance certified instructor and boot camp leader, Walker is also the winner of multi­ ple marathons. “Losing weight and getting in shape is more than just counting calories and squat repetitions,” says Walker. “It ’s about implementing healthy habits and actions into your daily life.” With this in mind, W alker shares her tips for shedding pounds and living healthier. 1 .
