Almost from the beginning of aviation, women have been superstars — earning the respect and admiration of all people who were fascinated with this new form of transportation. There was little to no discrimination— a good pilot was a good pilot, period. Mr. Kennison will talk about some of the most famous female fliers of those first exhilarating days of flight: Harriet Quimby, Kate Stinson, and Louise Thaden to name a few.

We have kept the doors open and the dream alive to establish a safe, welcoming, neutral haven in one of the state's most hard-pressed neighborhoods.
We continue to build relationships and establish partnerships with our Community agencies, organizations, individuals and groups to find ways to effectively and efficiently provide high-quality programs and events for little to no cost.

Muncie Churches and Civic Life
2pm to 3pm @
Westminster Village
Event Hall
5801 West Bethel Avenue
Ages: 18+ 
During 2016 and 2017, the Center for Middletown Studies completed the Muncie Churches and Civic Engagement Project. It involved a series of oral history interviews with leaders of local faith communities with the aim of documenting and exploring the changing role of churches in the civic life of Muncie and the surrounding area. The impetus for the project stemmed from the observation that churches appeared to be among the few voluntary institutions that still attracted substantial, active memberships in the midst of local economic decline. Connolly’s talk will review the project’s key findings and consider their implication for civic affairs in Muncie.
Session
Wednesday, September 25
2-3 p.m.
Legacy Commons Event Hall, Westminster Village
