One of my personal goals this year is to follow one of the directives issued at the recent Women in Aviation International Conference and promote general aviation in my local community. Lo and behold, as often happens when you put goals out into the universe, opportunities seem to appear.

Last night I attended my first local EAA chapter meeting — and yes we each stood up and said our names and how long we had been flying. One of the items discussed was EAA’s inaugural International Learn to Fly Day on Saturday, May 15. (First announced by EAA at last year’s AirVenture.)
