Oregon Pines Chapter
Library
Short final, runway 08, Astoria, Oregon
This is a brand-new project. While we were working on the compass rose, chair Kim Lansdon indicated that she had some extra copies of aviation books to share. I said, "Why not start a chapter library, and so we are going to try this out as a new project. We will share books, videos, and other resources of interest to women pilots within our chapter and the 99s organization. If you are new to this type of chapter or club virtual library, the TIPS "Checklist" Page will help this to be successful. To protect 'net privacy, no e-mails or phone numbers will be listed on this page. use your 99s membership directory, please. --Louise
