Fasten your seatbelt for an evening of fun at the 2023 Eastern Carolina Aviation Heritage Foundation (ECAHF) Gala on Friday, February 24.
Ward and Smith is a proud sponsor annual event at the Havelock Tourist Center.
The Flame will be catering the special event in order to support ECAHF's mission, which board member Tom Braaten describes as "celebrating and preserving the history of aviation in NC and in our community; and we do it through displays, and events including education to children in the direction of aviation and engineering."
Each year, ECAHF brings in an amazing guest speaker. This year, they welcome Mark Meno, executive director of the Fleet Readiness Center East, to discuss "Eastern NC's Best Kept Secret," the history, mission, and employment of 1,000 engineers at the readiness center.
The gala begins at 5:30 p.m., and dress is business casual. Tickets are $60.
Proceeds from the event benefit Eastern Carolina Aviation Heritage Foundation in efforts to inspire young learners to pursue new and exciting pathways through STEM.
