We get to tour Spirit of St. Louis airport tower, 10:00


To get there, head for the tower on Edison Avenue. Turn left on Beechcraft Road to parking lot just beyond the tower.
There is a waiting area on main level since only four of us at a time can visit the tower cab. After tours are over, we will have our business meeting.

Nominating chairman Gussie Freese has advised that we have a slate of officers for the coming year, as follows:
Chairman: Sally Siebe,
Vice Chairman: Jean Murry,
Secretary: Libby Yunger, and
Martha Norman will continue to manage our treasury.

Board members will be : Delia Greer, Sue Matheis, Vivian Waters, and Jan Pocock. All these lovely ladies will be installed at our installation luncheon in May. Invitations to follow.

Air Force member, Kim Atkins was our speaker for the Bellville Zontas on February 28th. We are certainly sorry to hear that she'll leave us for several months beginning in May. She'll be on another over-seas assignment. We're wishing her a safe trip and early return.

April 25th, is the first annual Missouri State Aviation Day. We'll want to go to Jefferson City to arrive at 10:00 AM and hopefully meet with out congressional reps. along with Missouri Pilots Assn., Flight Instructors Assn. Women in Aviation, well really, just about anyone connected with federal aviation to push AGAINST user fees, among other unfair taxes proposed against general aviation! We lunch in Jefferson City, then return to home base. Those who can, will fly in, otherwise, we can drive and share the ride.

The April 99s Public Library display will be in Illinois area near Laura Million’s home. Jean Murry will delivered the display items to her on Saturday, March 31st that she and Jan had picked up at the downtown St. Louis main library.
