A first for the Lumley Aviation Center and Penn College students – an Aviators Ball was held recently, drawing more than 100 students to the college’s facility at the Williamsport Regional Airport in Montoursville. The semi-formal affair, sponsored by the Student Veteran Organization, featured music, food, photo ops, activities and connection with fellow students.
Getting the ball rolling was Alicia “Marti” Martinez, of Allentown, an Air Force veteran who is a senior in aviation maintenance technology. As president of the Student Veteran Organization, Martinez enlisted assistance from her fellow members, the approval of aviation faculty and the support of the Student Government Association. Then, Sigma Pi fraternity pitched in with a music D.J. and brought along numerous brothers and their guests. Sigma Pi's social chairman, Ryan J. Bannan, a mechatronics student from Honey Brook, said, "All it took was some communication, and here with are!"
The spring night offered slightly chilly, windy and cloudy weather, but spirits were high and the promoted “unforgettable evening” was definitely landed.
