Things to Do – March 2015
March looks destined to come in like a lion, and I hope out like a lamb! Thankfully, there are tonnes of unique community happenings to distract us from the weather. The hardest part will be deciding which ones to do…
Join in the excitement Saturday, March 7th – 9am to 4pm, Celebrate Women of Aviation. Try your hand at one of the experiential hands-on aviation booths, listen to amazing women present in the aviation speakers panel, then meet some of the panelists at the Meet & Greet reception. Most excitingly, arrive early and register for one of the free flights being sponsored, and experience flying for the first time! If you are you a girl between the age of 4 to 100 and never been up in a small airplane be sure to be there for 9:00 am registration – there are 150 available seats for women and girls who have never flown.
