Aero-Ba-Soul, Inc. Philanthropy Thursday!
Happy Philanthropy Thursday Aero-Ba-Soul, Inc. Family,

I hope that everyone is still remaining safe and cool during this recent heatwave. Whew! We will all get through this together. 

Sharing is caring! Below is some great philanthropic news that I would like to share with everyone!

SUPPORT LOCAL BUSINESSES!   
Calling all foodies!  I love good food! Especially food made from fresh ingredients and scratch! Here’s a peek at one of my favorite food cafes. Kathleen’s Tea Room, located at 979 Main Street, in friendly Peekskill, NY.  http://www.kathleenstroom.com/

Kathleen’s Tea Room, owned by Peekskill’s wonderful Deputy Mayor, Vivian McKenzie, is an English-style tea room that serves 50+ loose teas steeped tableside, sandwiches on warm croissants and more. It so much more than a tea room. Twice a week they open their Bridgee’s Soul Food Truck. This hidden gem was featured last Friday on Westchester’s News 12’s “We’re Open” segment highlighting local businesses that are getting through the Covid-19 pandemic with the support from local communities.

Aero-Ba-Soul, Inc. also just assisted Kathleen’s Tea Room with obtaining their NYC Minority Women Business Enterprise (MWBE) Certification! Check out why I along with so many other customers love this place and their food so much! 
Dorie Miller Update

Become part of history! Sign the Dorie Miller petition today!
Joe DioGuardi, former United States Representative, and the young men of Peekskill (NY) High School’s Black Diamonds Academic Success Program want justice for African American Heroes of WWI & WWII!

Valerie DeBenedette, District Representative from U.S. Representative Nita M. Lowey’s (NY-17) office, reached out to me this week, after she saw Aero-Ba-Soul, Inc.’s MWBE Monday’s Newsletter asking for people to sign a petition to award the Congressional Medal of Honor to Dorie Miller for his heroism during the bombing of Pearl Harbor during World War II. She shared with me the good news that Congresswoman Nita Lowey has signed on as a cosponsor of the bill in the House of Representatives calling for the President to award Mr. Miller the Medal of Honor! 
The bill is H.S. 5549! You can read more about it at this website :

There are many other cosponsors in addition to Mrs. Lowey and it has bipartisan support from approximately 50 US Representatives! Special thanks to everyone who signed and or shared the petition.  Thank you, thank you, thank you! 

It’s not too late for you to show your support and become part of history. Sign and or share the petition today.  Everyone’s voice matters! http://chng.it/WMRtHvyYWc
In an effort to correct a longstanding racial injustice, former Congressional Black Caucus Chairman Rep. Mickey Leland, and former US Representative DioGuardi introduced two bills on October 20, 1987 to posthumously award The Medal of Honor to two extraordinarily brave African American servicemen who fought for the United States in World Wars I and II. The Black Diamonds, part of My Brother’s Keeper Initiative, have been dedicated to this cause for the past two years.

Help Joe, The Black Diamonds and others to petition to get Doris "Dorie" Miller, an African American sailor in the United States Navy, a Congressional Medal. Dorie manned anti-aircraft guns during the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, for which he had no training, and tended to the wounded. He was recognized by the Navy for his actions and awarded the Navy Cross.

Help the sons of MBK Lead Advisor Mr. McDonald and Advisors Mr. Andrew Torres and Mr. Kevin Cousins (Aero-Ba-Soul, Inc.’s COO) and the other amazing MBK Black Diamonds in helping former Congressman DioGuardi and The MBK Black Diamonds OBTAIN MORE ONLINE SIGNATURES! Their goal is to reach 5,000 signatures. They need your support! You can read more and sign the petition here: http://chng.it/WMRtHvyYWc

Please sign the online petition now! Thanks to your support this petition has a chance of winning! They need 45 more signatures to reach their first goal of 1,500 signatures.

We thank you in advance as you share the link with your friends, family and network. Please share the link on your twitter, Instagram and SnapChat.

Become part of history and help The MBK Black Diamonds finish their year strong! The MBK Black Diamond Life! Integrity, Determination and Service to Others.

On behalf of the MBK Black Diamonds, including my two sons, who are proud MBK Black Diamonds, I thank you for signing this petition! Black Lives Matter! Become part of this historical moment! Sign the Dorie Miller petition today. Thank You!
