GREATER ST. LOUIS 99s MEETING NOTICE AND NEWSLETTER - JUNE 2007

Saturday June 16. MEET AT NOON AT MERIWETHER'S IN THE MO HISTORY MUSEUM
LINDELL BLVD AND DE BALIVIERE AVE. in beautiful Forrest Park.

We will enjoy a lovely lunch, then tour the museum's "FLIGHT CITY:ST. LOUIS TAKES TO THE AIR"
A History of flight in the metro St. Louis area. (fee for non MO History members $5.00
Fella who's seen it says it's well worth the trip. Quite an education on our region's relationship
with aviation. Lord knows, we've been involved in that!!

PLEASE CALL JEAN MURRY (314-469-3541) if you plan on lunch.
(They need a head count for group lunch - and so we can get our group signed up for the exhibit,)

We'll have a brief meeting after viewing the exhibit.


Our Installation luncheon was a happy occasion! Not only did we install our new (?) Officers, but were able to CONGRATULATE our new chairman, Sally on having received one of the A.E.
Scholarships offered by Intnl so that SHE CAN CONTINUE WORKING FOR HER INSTRUMENT RATING.
She certainly deserves the award. She worked very hard for it. We're plenty proud, Sally!!

Our thanks to Gussie for a great job of installing, =and our condolences to "Russ for being the only male in the crowd. (Didn't seem to faze him, tho)

Oh, by the way, we're sorry about the conflict on our meeting date and the Komen "Race for the Cure". But try to find a date in June (or any other month) that doesn't conflict with something. How about going downtown on Sat. morning , doing your volunteer contribution thing and then heading for Forrest Park - Mid Town and the MO History Museum (A.K.A. Jefferson Memorial) and our get together by noon????????
Just a thought, Jan
