As we have many events during the year, being able to easily recognize the Event Steward(ess) at an event should be something we strive for. To that end, we should have an easily recognizable outfit (uniform?) for our Event Steward(ess) to wear. One of the most easily recognizable outfit ever is that of the Pan-Am Stewardess! Therefore we should have ALL Event Steward(ess) wear a Pan-Am Stewardess outfit (done in a period style of course!). Many people seemed to like this idea. Others found it may have been just a joke. It’s now included in the minutes. So come to the next meeting to weigh in on this…intriguing proposal!
