Arthur Godsell has spent five decades with Godsell Construction Corporation in Hicksville, New York (NY), and now serves the firm as president and co-owner. Beyond his responsibilities managing daily operations and overseeing sales, Arthur Godsell engages with a number of community groups and local charitable organizations, including the Long Island Association and the Fresh Air Fund.
Established in 1877, the Fresh Air Fund has helped develop the character of more than 1.8 million children in need through a variety of unique outdoor summer programs, including summer camp and host family programs. Through the Fresh Air Fund’s Friendly Towns program, families from city suburbs and the state’s more rural regions host Fresh Air visitors. As the name implies, the program is embraced by entire towns, with services ranging from recreational summer events to free medical services. Restaurants and bowling alleys, among other local businesses, frequently open their doors to Fresh Air families and visitors at no cost. The Friendly Towns program is open to Fresh Air children between the ages of 7 and 18, both male and female, though host families that enjoy a special bond with visitors can extend the relationship. More information about the program, including how to sign up as a visitor or host family, can be found online at www.freshair.org.
