AFA Wright Memorial Chapter provides $10,000 donation to the Fisher House to put the capitol campaign over the required $1 Million mark. The Chapter made a $10,000 donation at the kick-off of the capitol campaign, in Dec 2007, and now provides the needed funding to complete the campaign. The check was presented to Wright-Patterson Fisher House Executive Director Chris Stanley at the Wright Memorial Chapter’s monthly luncheon. See story/video on WTDN website.
