Welcome to the Indiana Dunes
chapter! We encompass northwest
and northeast Indiana with Lake Michigan and the Dunes State Park as our
northern border and Grand Rapids, MI as more-or-less our eastern area.
We were chartered on May 15, 1976 with twenty-two 99s on the roster,
we bid-farewell to the Indiana chapter and embarked on our journey.
Over the last thirty-five years we have been very involved with many
aspects of the Ninety-Nines, Inc., mission: to promote world fellowship
through flight, provide networking and scholarship opportunities for women
and aviation education in the community and to preserve the unique history
of women in aviation.
We continue to provide Aerospace Education in the schools and for
scout troops, hold air proficiency rallies, procure aviation-related
speakers for meetings, sell
Ways-and-Means items to provide funds for scholarships and donations, assist
in air-marking projects at airports,
provide support at transcontinental Air Race Classic rallies
plus many, many more activities.
Our
chapter is open to ladies who are interested in investigating the world of
flying. If you are a student pilot and would like to join the 99s, come
along! If you are at least 17 years old and have a student pilot certificate
you too can be a 99 Associate member!
