NATCA hosted its 6th annual corporate partnership event on June 10 to strengthen and celebrate our relationships with industry and aviation community friends. We thanked our 48 corporate partners and raised money for the NATCA Charitable Foundation.
“All day today, we had conversations with our corporate members and talked about how we can improve the National Airspace System — how we can make the air traffic system, our profession, better,” NATCA National Organizing Committee Chair John Bratcher said. “That’s what tonight is about. Throughout the year in our work together, we’re building relationships and improving the safety and efficiency of the largest and most robust system in the world.”
“We value the relationships that we have in this room, that we have across industry, and with our international brothers and sisters and partners as well,” NATCA Executive Vice President Trish Gilbert said. “We all do this for the love of the system and the people that we protect when they fly through it, and we’re bringing on new innovation and being a world leader in safety. Everybody in this room has a piece of that. We are proud to be a part of the brotherhood represented in this room.”
As part of the evening’s activities, NATCA Charitable Foundation (NCF), National Organizing Committee members, NATCA's corporate partners, and NATCA staff helped stuff 100 backpacks with school supplies for children in the Washington area. The backpacks were donated to the Community of Hope.

Governor Josh Shapiro, First Lady Lori Shapiro, Lieutenant Governor Austin Davis, and Second Lady Blayre Holmes Davis will host a State Dinner at the Governor’s Residence in honor of nine Pennsylvanians who have made a difference in their communities. The State Dinner will tell the stories of nine Pennsylvanians who do meaningful work to improve the lives of others across the Commonwealth.
The centerpiece of the evening’s program will be the presentation of the Governor’s Keystone Award, which each honoree will receive in recognition of the significant contributions they’ve made to their communities, donating their time, knowledge, and talents to help improve the lives of others.
Members of the Shapiro Administration’s cabinet will also attend the State Dinner, which will feature a string quartet from the NEPA Philharmonic.
“Josh and I are honored to welcome these inspiring Pennsylvanians and their families into our home so we can recognize the work they are doing to make our Commonwealth a better place,” said First Lady Lori Shapiro. “Their incredible stories show that no matter who you are or where you come from, you can make a difference in the lives of the people around you. All nine Pennsylvanians being honored tonight are examples of the power of one – one person serving their community, addressing the needs they see, lending a helping hand, can have a compounding nature and a large impact over time.”
“As I travel all across our Commonwealth, it’s the stories of Pennsylvanians who are making a difference in their communities that inspires me and keeps me going,” said Governor Josh Shapiro. “The First Lady and I are honored to recognize nine exemplary Pennsylvanians who are improving their communities, whether that means advocating for those too often forgotten and left behind, mentoring our children to ensure they have the tools to succeed, or supporting those who have served in uniform. We congratulate and thank them for their contributions to our Commonwealth, dedication to their communities, and commitment to service.”
The State Dinner is part of Governor and First Lady Shapiro’s efforts to reimagine the use of Governor’s Residence, opening the Residence up to more Pennsylvanians and organizing programs that inspire others to give back to their communities.
Tonight’s honorees include:
Kenny Holdsman from Philadelphia: Kenny was a lawyer, but was inspired to leave his profession by his mother’s experience in the Philadelphia School District. He co-founded Philadelphia Youth Basketball (PYB) in 2015 after several years of working in youth development. PYB uses basketball to create a safe and empowering environment for youth by creating opportunities for under-resourced communities. Youth can develop the skills needed to become leaders on and off the court.
Glynis Johns from Scranton: Glynis is local historian, sociologist, artist, and advocate from Scranton. While pursuing her master’s degree, she discovered that decades of Black history in Scranton was not being taught. This led her to start the Black Scranton Project – a non-profit and local heritage initiative to inform people about the history they haven’t heard. The Black Scranton Project researches and archives local Black history and shares that information with the public to foster awareness and representation.
Thomas Lenox from Erie: Tommy is the coordinator of the Erie Police Athletic League (PAL). The program had been on hiatus for 40 years, but Tommy restarted it based on his own experience growing up in inner city Johnstown. PAL improves relationships between Erie police and students through coaching, mentorship, and teaching. Over 600 students participate in the after-school program or the weeklong summer camp. Tommy was awarded ‘Officer of the Year’ by the Northwestern Pennsylvania Chiefs of Police Association for his work with PAL.
Aimee Morris from Felton: Aimee is US Marine Corps veteran and a psych-mental health and addiction certified nurse. Many of her patients were former veterans that lacked the health care they needed. She founded Glenn Hope Care Farm on her family’s farm in York County to help veterans heal and return to civilian life. Veterans practice ‘care farming’ at Glenn Hope where they learn agricultural skills for therapeutic and healing purposes. Glen Hope also donates some of the farm’s production to veteran’s groups.
Amanda Parezo from Philadelphia: Amanda is a professor and doctor of occupational therapy, as well as an advocate for ending gun violence. In 2021, she was struck with a stray bullet while playing kickball with friends, causing paralysis from the waist down. Amanda now uses a wheelchair, which has changed her perspective on accessibility. Through her work and activism, she spreads awareness about inaccessibility in Philadelphia. She is also a motivational speaker who shares her story to advocate for ending gun violence.
Tristan Rankin from Glen Rock: Tristan founded Coats of Friendship when he was six years old after watching a video of a boy wandering outside in below freezing temperatures without a coat. Now as a high school student, he has expanded its operations and recruited his younger brother, Emerson. Coats of Friendship collects and distributes thousands of gently used coats across York County to keep residents warm during the winter.
Lisa Scales from Pittsburgh: Lisa is the President and CEO of the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank. The Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank was founded in 1980 after the steel industry went into decline. Today, the Food Bank’s operations have expanded to serve 11 counties in southwestern Pennsylvania. Under Lisa’s leadership, the Food Bank has distributed nearly 45 million meals through a network of over 1000 partners.
Sister Mary Scullion from Philadelphia: Sister Mary has been a dedicated advocate for the unhoused and individuals with mental illnesses since 1978. In 1989, she founded Project HOME in Philadelphia to break the cycles of poverty and houselessness. Project HOME targets the root causes of poverty through initiatives on supportive housing, employment, medical care, and education. Due to Project HOME’s success, Time Magazine named Sister Mary as one of the “World’s Most Influential People of 2009.” Sister Mary recently announced her retirement from Project HOME after 35 years of service and leadership.
Jamie Upshaw from Pittsburgh: Jamie founded Autism Urban Connections after her son was diagnosed. She noticed the lack of resources for Black families navigating an autism diagnosis, so she founded her own non-profit. Autism Urban Connections provides resources, education, support, advocacy, and self-care services to families. By providing resources and support, Autism Urban Connections works to end underdiagnoses and misdiagnoses for children of color.

Galiano Island Books boasts the same ingredients as its larger competitors. With over 25,000 titles, we continue to grow and cater to a wide-range of tastes. However, as a community-minded bookstore, we can never lose sight of our local authors. Our fascination with the high-quality Canadian publications that grow right in our own backyard has led us to “hand-pick” the best titles—and bring them directly to you!
We are hosting our 7th annual Galiano Literary Festival in February 2016. The Festival and number of attendees is growing with each year and we look forward to an even more successful event this year with a fabulous line-up of wonderful authors coming to our lovely island! We decided to host the event in February for a few reasons, not the least of which being that we wanted to attract visitors to the island in an otherwise quiet time – to help provide businesses with a little off-season boost and to help establish Galiano Island as a “year round” rather than “seasonal” destination. The weather has always cooperated and visitors and authors have raved about the island and many have come back to visit.
“More literary festivals ought to be like the one on Galiano. The setting is unequalled. The organizers have everything covered beautifully. I have never seen such a good opportunity for writers and others to schmooze in such a beautiful building. I told Jean that I would give up pie for a year if I get to go there again.” George Bowering

The Harbor City Roller Girls hosted members of the North Star Roller Girls and the Minnesota Rollergirls in an all-star, black-on-white night of roller derby to promote the sport in their home town.
As an NSRG league photographer - and one who knows how good all three of these leagues are - I couldn't resist making the trip.
Although the watermark says "North Star Roller Girls Media Team," you're seeing members of all three leagues here about evenly. Everyone had a blast, and the crowd was big and enthusiastic. Good! I hope HCRD sold a lot of tickets that night! They're an awesome league with many awesome skaters.
