On Saturday January 30, the Illinois Department of Transportation Division of Aeronautics held their annual Aviation Expo at the Itasca, IL Holiday Inn. The event was co-sponsored by the Federal Aviation Administration Safety Team (FAAST). Another co-sponsor was the Chicago Area 99’s, local members of an international organization of female pilots who promote networking and scholarship opportunities for women in aviation. As many as 300 people attended a variety of General Aviation safety seminars. Nestled among the vendors at the Expo were Palwaukee Squadron's own Captain Bob Gould and 2d Lt Mike Grenz, who spent the day talking with visitors and answering questions regarding CAP’s various missions and programs. Said Grenz, "I enjoyed this opportunity to network with others who share a passion for aviation".
