Do you have a group of girls that could
benefit from the GWW effect? A class, Girl
Scout group, etc.? We have already
presented to more than 3000 girls. Read
a recap of a recent event.
This is a high energy, interactive
presentation, so the maximum number of
girls per presentation is thirty. Any more

the individual as much as they deserve! If need be, we can schedule more
than one presentation to accommodate your group. The minimum number is
organization to raise the number.
The minimum length of time required for the presentation is one hour. We
suggest, if you're able, adding on up to another half an hour for additional
question and answer time and time for girls to dress up in various uniforms
(uniforms only available in the immediate Cleveland area).
And yes, we do present only to girls. I have presented to groups with boys,
too, and the girls do tend to get lost in the melee. With girls only, the girls
feel more comfortable participating in the presentation. Often a school will
send the boys out for another activity. If you'd like to bring the boys in later
to be able to join in on the Q & A portion, that is perfectly fine.
We need to conduct the presentation in a separate room (your usual meeting
place if appropriate) with five tables. Chairs are not necessary and are actually
discouraged. Don't want the girls to get too relaxed!
Lastly, there is a fee $5 per girl and includes a take-home bag with materials
to follow up on what was presented that day. Add $2 to receive a GWW
Patch, Pin or ID tag, too. A surcharge for travel expenses may be need to be
added outside of NE Ohio.
*Note: presentation does not qualify for all Girl Scout badge requirements.

A Review from a Women
Pilot assistant: I had the
opportunity to help Lynda
at the Brownie Blast-off
event held at NASA. She
introduced herself to the
girls and told them how
she was a pilot and they
could be pilots, too. A
poster of the cockpit
instruments and yoke
were at each table and
she explained how you fly
the plane. She presented
questions and excited
hands went up quickly to
give a response. Lynda
had planned a great
hands-on lesson where
the small plane and
identified the key parts of
the plane. She then had
each girl “fly” a plane with
a unique idea she had of
using a balloon, drinking
straw and string. All of
the girls were very excited
about this and were able
to “fly” their plane in their
selected direction and
altitude. Lynda did a
fantastic job in showing
these girls how aviation
could be for them and
that girls can fly, too! I
was so impressed at how
Lynda put excitement on
these girl’s (and advisor’
s) faces. She has a and
exemplified the perfect
role model. I’m sure
these girls left the event
with one thought…they
were going to be like
Lynda Meeks, the pilot
that showed them that
girls can fly, too!
