THE FLIGHT LINE
Donna Klein, chairman
I'd like to welcome these new Members who have joined our Chapter in the
past few months: Mary Linstromberg, Karyn Wojcik, Kristina Bouzios, Larisa
Kano, Cristina Salgado, Daniela Padron, Leslie Treppa and Ashley Koenig.
We are so happy to have you with us, and we hope to meet you soon and
welcome you in person. You should be receiving the Chapter newsletter, Air
News. Also, please visit our Chapter website, www.chicagoarea99s.org, for
more information about us. Chapter Members will be contacting you to
welcome you and invite you to upcoming events and meetings.
Lora Yowell treated us to a treasure hunt for our March meeting. (Leslie
Prellwitz won.) Her pilot shop, Aviation Universe, in Bensenville has a nice
diversity of merchandise. Stop in at her store when you have a chance; her
website is www.aviationuniverse.us. Thank you, Lora.
Please visit our website, www.chicagoarea99s.org, mentioned above. It is
filled with all kinds of information about the Organization and the Chicago Area
Chapter. Ellen Herring has done a great job of maintaining it. She has moved
to Arizona and will no longer be our webmaster as of the end of this year. We
miss you, Ellen, and appreciate all you have done for us. This is an excellent
opportunity for someone to step in and take over and learn something new
(plus it will look good on your resume).
Our Girl Scout Prep and Badge Days are coming up, and we always need a lot
of help with these events. Contact Ellen O'Hara or any Board Member if you
are available. Thursday, May 14th is the Illinois Hall of Fame Dinner in
Rockford. CAC Member, Bev Greenhill, who passed away last year, will be
inducted. More information is on page 4.
Enclosed in Air News is a ballot for the election of officers for the 2015-2017
term. The Nominating Committee has worked very hard to fill the slate, and
we thank them for their effort. We also thank those who have agreed to run for
the next term. Please take the time to return the ballot; even though none of
the offices are being contested, it is nice to know that you support the
nominees (or your write-in nominee) and the work of the Nominating
Committee.
VOTE EARLY - BUT NOT OFTEN!!

March Meeting
The March meeting of the Chicago Area Chapter was held at "Aviation
Universe", in Bensenville, IL, a wonderful aviation/pilot shop owned by CAC
Member, Lora Yowell. She hosted a brunch, followed by our monthly
business meeting, followed by a "Treasure Hunt". Members and 49½'s
searched the store for answers to clues such as: "Where are the WASPs
hiding?"; "What aircraft were the Tuskegee Airmen famous for flying?";
"Where is one of the founding members of the 99s hiding?"; "What vintage
airline recently started flights again out of Miami?"; etc. The winner was
Leslie Prellwitz who was awarded a "treasure" from the shop. Visit the
website at www.aviationuniverse.us
Angel Flight
On Friday, March 20th, my son, Wayne, and I did an Angel Flight. We
departed from Clow Airport in Bolingbrook, IL at 6:00 am and headed east
to Pontiac, MI to pick up 5 year old Adalyn and her parents. She has had
many eye surgeries, and was heading back home to Topeka, KS. Our
segment of the trip carried them to Peoria, IL, where another Angel Flight
pilot met them and flew them home. Our little passenger thoroughly
enjoyed the flight, but was disappointed that it was so smooth (for her, the
bumpier, the better). After returning to our home airport, it occurred to us
that sometimes an angel is flying with us on an Angel Flight.

Aviation flights. During the Spring Board of Directors Meeting in Oklahoma

guidelines provided regarding waiving 99s event insurance costs [see On The
Centerline for a list of guidelines]. All other events can be provided insurance
at the rate of $125 per day.
