STARS OF THE NORTH
Stars of the North enjoyed its annual gathering in Fairbault, Minnesota (KFBL), in
collaboration with Cross Country Soaring, on June 16. The weather was perfect,
without a cloud in the sky, as members along with a few new faces enjoyed a won-
derful potluck dinner and wonderful company. ✈

ST. LOUIS WOMEN WITH WINGS CHAPTER
The St. Louis Women With Wings Chapter's first Creve Coeur Plane Wash was a
complete success. The chapter cleaned 14 airplanes (dirty underbellies too!) and
raised nearly $2,000 for the chapter scholarship fund. The chapter hopes to dupli-
cate the success on September 10, when the next plane wash fundraiser will take
place in Mount Vernon, Illinois (KMVN). ✈
