Infineon Raceway makes donation to charity
Nearly 2,000 pounds of nonperishable food items were given to the Friends in Sonoma Helping, or FISH, by Infineon Raceway. The food comes from the raceway’s sixth annual Thanksgiving Food Drive. Infineon’s donation is one of the largest single contributions the local charity received this holiday season. The food was raised with the help of Mary’s Pizza Shack and Sonoma Gourmet of Cotati. Since 2000, Infineon Raceway has donated more than 9,000 pounds of food to Sonoma Valley residents in need during the holiday season. For information on how you can contribute to Friends in Sonoma Helping, call 707.996.0111.

Last week’s approval by federal officials to fund security screening upgrades at the Charles Schultz Airport cleared the way for the Seattle-based airline to begin daily round-trip service from Santa Rosa to L.A. and Seattle on March 20. In mid-March the airline plans an open house at the airport. The public will be invited to board Horizon jets and tour the new boarding facilities.
