The best way to identify what type of activity you’re looking at is to check out the logo. Chapter Business Meetings will have the RHS logo, Southwest Section events will use the SWS logo. Social events will use the colorful people with puzzle pieces logo, fundraising events will have the $ sign, and flying events will feature a cartoon woman flying a plane. All other evens will use the event logo. If you have an event you would like us to add, please let us know!

Per Karalynn:

We (Karalynn and her son Will) are flying all week - I will be flying Wednesday - Sunday.  Will will be flying Thursday - Sunday.  We will both be glowing Friday, Saturday and Sunday.  I am also getting to do something pretty special on Sunday but more details on that later.

We both love getting the chance to share our hometown event with our local crew.  If you are interested in coming out any or all days - please let us know ASAP.  We will work on getting a schedule out to all of you.  We do get some parking passes so we will work on sharing them with you guys.  

GRBR is where my family first saw balloons - it will be special to share it as a team with all of you!
