Elsa has broken through the ice over at the high schools’ scholarship program for the San Juan Pilots Association, (The John Volk Memorial), and we now have a number of great applicants. For the last couple of years we have been having difficulty getting noticed by qualified students as a source of funding through our scholarships. Elsa broke through this barrier by going over and personally sitting with a group interested students that want to get into the aviation community and further their career either as pilots, mechanics or aerospace designers.
Elsa, at 25, a recently hired pilot over at Kenmore, is a great example of a young person going into one aspect of aviation. She spoke to her own accomplishments in aviation. It had a very strong effect on the students present.
Her talk was backed up by a very eye-catching brochure produced by our own artistically talented president, Peter Brown.
We have had a rush of very qualified applicants these past few days. This campaign has been a roaring success. Thanks to all involved.
