We need to build new display boards for the Trade Show for our booth display.  During our upcoming February meeting we will be building the new boards.  Please bring any aviation photo relating to women at work in aviation (8 ½ x 11 photo).  We want to reflect all areas of aviation ? commercial, business, general aviation, engineers, mechanics, inspectors, air traffic controllers, dispatchers, and instructions.
We discussed the meetings for the New Year (2004) and what we would like to do.  In March we plan to support the Women?s flying events at the Museum of Flight.  International Conference is March 11 ? 13, 2004.
