Next Meeting Date: The All-Ohio Ninety-Nines monthly meeting will be held on Sunday, May 4, 2025.
- Normally, All-Ohio meets on the 2nd Monday of each month, however, in May the second Sunday is Mother’s Day. To allow all our Mom’s to enjoy their special day, we moved the All-Ohio meeting to May 4th.
At the May meeting we will honor Peg Ballou who recently received the AOPA Great Lakes Region Best Instructor and the FAA Wright Brothers Master Pilot Award. Peg’s flight school, Ballou Skies Aviation, received the AOPA Great Lakes Region Best Flight School.
- Spring is here and good flying weather is around the corner (we hope!). This is a good opportunity to check in with other 99s to see if they are flying or driving to a meeting. It is always more fun to have someone along to share experiences. To make it easy to find someone in your area, Deb Henrichs emailed all of the members a member listing by geographic areas. Take a look and reach out to another member. It might be the beginning of a great friendship!
- Students: You can fly in with your instructor and invite her/him to the meeting and lunch too!
Hostess: Peg Ballou.

Subject: All-Ohio 99s – June 8th Meeting Info
Good morning, All-Ohio 99s!
I hope everyone has been enjoying the warmer spring weather – I know I am! I’m reaching out to everyone today to let you all know about the June meeting that I’ll be hosting. Normally, Deb would send out a 10-day meeting notice; however, this meeting will be a bit different and requires some extra planning ahead.
For this meeting, I’ve set up a tour at the Cleveland Air Route Traffic Control Center (ARTCC). Since this is a government facility, they require a list of participants by May 23rd and there’s a maximum of 20 people we can take on the tour. If you are not a U.S. citizen, there’s additional paperwork that needs to be submitted by May 23rd as well – please reach out to me if you need this form and I can send it over. On the day of, everyone will need to present a form of government-issued photo ID to enter the facility.
Before the tour, we’ll meet at Lorain County Airport for a pizza lunch and meeting – please bring $5 for lunch and let me know if you have any dietary restrictions.
Here are the details:
Where: Lorain County Airport (KLPR) and the Cleveland ARTCC facility
When: Sunday, June 8, 2025
Itinerary:
- 11:30 – 12:30: Pizza lunch and meeting at the Discover Aviation Hangar at KLPR
- 12:30 – 13:00: Quick clean up and drive over to the Cleveland ARTCC facility (10-minute drive and I can take up to four people with me for anyone flying in)
- 13:00 – 14:30: Cleveland ARTCC facility tour
RSVP: Please let me know by email (gabrielatan@live.com) or text (440-390-9933) no later than May 23, 2025, if you can attend.
If you have any questions about this, please don’t hesitate to reach out! Have a wonderful rest of your week, everyone!

Also — A friendly reminder from Gabby Tan, Public Relations Chair for our chapter:
-
One of my goals is to revive our chapter’s social media presence to increase our online visibility and connect with potential new members. So far, I’ve gained access to our All-Ohio 99s Instagram account, and I’m working on regaining access to our public Facebook page. With that in mind, I’m looking for any aviation- or 99s-related photos and videos that you’d like to share on our Facebook and Instagram pages. You can upload your content using this Dropbox link:

If you upload anything, please send me a quick email to let me know. Dropbox can be a bit glitchy, and I want to make sure I don’t miss anything. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or suggestions – you can contact me via email or text at (440) 390-9933. Thanks in advance for your contributions!
