From a press release:
The Capital Region Chapter of Women in Aviation International (WAI) will hold their annual event, Girls in Aviation Day, to introduce local girls ages 8 to 17 to potential careers in aviation. The day’s activities will take place at the Manassas Regional Airport (HEF) in Virginia from 10:00 a.m.- 3:00 p.m. on Saturday, September 23. More than 100 girls have signed up, tripling the attendance of last year’s event.
