The safety of our passengers and pilots is our highest priority. We decided to complete some additional maintenance while the plane was undergoing the annual inspection process. The ‘annual’ is a required inspection of the entire plane from spinner to tail. The additional maintenance will keep us flying safely and efficiently for many years to come. We are grateful to the FAA certified repair station at our home airport for doing such a thorough job!

In just 2 short months, the Greyhounds in Gettysburg event will be held in Gettysburg, PA. From the official site:

Every April, greyhound lovers from across the country come together for “Greyhounds in Gettysburg,” an event designed for shopping, education, socialization, and other activities for and about greyhounds. This is the largest greyhound event in the country, and if you have never attended GiG, this year should be the year you do.

Please visit the Greyhounds in Gettysburg site to learn more about the event, view the schedule of events, and register.

The Brave Tide Foundation had the pleasure of meeting The CatWorks, Inc. volunteers at a recent Petco adoption event. The CatWorks is a non-profit organization established to enrich and save the lives of cats, kittens, and homeless animals by providing temporary foster homes and ultimately permanent homes. Please visit the CatWorks website and Facebook page to learn more about the wonderful work they are doing for animals in need each day.

Brave Tide is looking forward to a wonderful 2013. We are actively seeking donations to fund our core focus areas – animal rescue and relocation, emergency preparedness and recovery, and educational programs. 100% of donations are used for foundation activities and are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law. Our goal for 2013 is to raise enough capital to conduct 2-3 flights per month. We will be rolling out a “sponsor a flight” program to provide donors with the opportunity to sponsor animal rescue or emergency supply deployment flights. Our Missions page contains more information about upcoming activities and specific funding needs.
