LOTC Affiliate Performs Community Service Projects IDENTIFICATION PAGE 527 Affiliated with Air Force ROTC, the Arnold Air Society is a professional serv- ice organization that works actively with such community service organizations as the March of Dimes and Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. The Arnolds also sponsor parties and other social events for the AFFROTC corps of cadets. The Arnolds are supported by their sis- ter organization, Angel Flight, which is open to all campus females. They are offi- cial hostesses of Georgia Tech and are involved in many of the same activities as the Arnold Air Society members. As a result of their community and campus activities the Arnold Air Society and Angel Flight play a vital role in the Atlanta and Georgia Tech community. In addition, the Arnolds help further the mis- sion of AFROTC by giving cadets the leadership opportunities that will help them to be better Air Force officers. Arnold Air Society f 153

These exercises have taken members over the Chattahoochee River's white water, across the face of Mt. Yonah, and through swamps of Florida in their quest of adven- ture and preparedness. For the second consecutive year, the rangers staged an airborne assault, flying from Dobbins Air Force base in Marietta to Eglin Air Force base in Florida aboard Air Force C-7A aircraft. There the Rang- ers parachuted into enemy territory and conducted exercises in preparation for a mock hostage snatch. During the year the Rangers partici- pated in charitable runs for the Muscular Dystrophy and Cystic Fibrosis Founda- tions. By running in uniform and in forma- tion, they bouyed the spirits of all partici- pating, as well as contributing to a worthy cause.

Also on the chapter agenda were semi-monthly meetings featuring speakers from the Atlanta community, the annual spring festival culminating in the Beaux-Arts Ball, and a trip for six members to Philadelphia for the national architecture convention Forum '8O.
