The Honeywell Fiesta Bowl Aerospace Challenge is one of Arizona’s premier academic contests for youth. Entering its 16th year, this stimulating contest allows fifth through eighth grade students the opportunity to enhance their knowledge of space technology. The Aerospace Challenge requires participants to develop plans for an International Lunar Base complete with a physical scale model. More than 800 students will participate in this contest in which they work in groups to achieve critical problem-solving, communication, team-building and decision-making skills. As a result, they will expand their knowledge in subject areas such as math, science, social studies, language and fine arts.
The preliminary round of competition takes place over a three-day period in Feb 2015, with the top three teams each day advancing to the finals. Finalists will enjoy an exclusive opportunity to attend a presentation from NASA astronauts. The Aerospace Challenge winning team will earn an all expense paid VIP trip of a lifetime, and a special on-field appearance at the 45th Annual Fiesta Bowl in January 2016.
All the judging for the competition is performed by Honeywell employees. This is an opportunity for retirees to participate as well. For more details contact Keith Hughes at keith8411@cox.net

The Honeywell Christmas Dinner Dance held at the Arrowhead Country Club on December 11th was a festive night enjoyed by 49 retirees. It was a time spent renewing acquaintances and making new ones. The Band played old favorites and everyone enjoyed dancing to the music. Barbara Rippstein and Pam Brandenburger won door prizes. A White Elephant Drawing was held and nearly everyone walked away with a gift. If you were unable to attend this year, plan for next year and enjoy a great Christmas Party. Thanks to Barbara Rippstein and Shirley Krieger for co-hosting this event.
