Scioto Valley 20th Anniversary

Each March, the Scioto Valley Chapter of the Ninety Nines holds their anniversary party, but this year marked the twentieth anniversary of their founding in March 1981.  Fittingly, Marilynn Miller is the Chapter Chairman this year, because it was Marilynn's push that got the Scioto Valley Chapter started in the beginning.

The banquet took place in the upstairs party room at the 94th Aero Squadron Restaurant on the east side of the Port Columbus airport.
