With the dissolution of the Amelia Earhart Friendship Society in Feb 2015 it was vital that a new committee was elected in to officially set up a new group so that the work of promoting Amelia Earhart Legacy could be continued.

There was a public meeting held on the 17th April 2015 @5.30pm in the Cottage , Craft Village. There were 28 attendees. The following people were officially elected in:

– Mrs Brenda Hume Stevenson Chair                                                                                                                                                                                                               – Eilish Quigley as Vice-Chair
– Bróna Sharkey as Honorary Treasurer
– Nicole Denby as Secretary
– Aveen Peoples as Media & Pr Representative
– Deborah Hagan as the Association Archivist
– Gerard Moyne as Fund Raising & Governance Representative

The group discussed the short-term . medium term and long term objectives of the new group. The feedback on the night was encouraging and the group is determined to continue forward positively. The first event will be in May to celebrate the 82nd Anniversary of Amelia’s landing in Derry/Londonderry.
