A Return Celebration – A ‘Mission Accomplished’
On the evening of September 28, Dreams Soar hosted the “Mission Accomplished” Return Event at the Cici & Hyatt Brown Museum of Art in Daytona Beach, FL. This exciting evening consisted of a VIP pre-reception for our donors and partners, which featured a surprise exclusive video produced by the Dream Team. Nevin, the museum docent, took four groups on a VIP tour of the exhibits as a special treat to the evening.

The main event began at 7pm and included several guest speakers and an exclusive with Shaesta as she shared the journey she took around the world. Guest speakers consisted of Vice Chair, Board of Directors, Dreams Soar and Chairman Emeritus of Jet Support Services, Louis C. Seno; Robert Catala, HADID International Services; Vince Mickens, National Business Aviation Association; Jason Plowman and Leora Tasker, Universal Weather & Aviation. These partners were key players along the daily activities and needs of the global flight. NASA astronaut and friend to Dreams Soar, Nicole Stott, gave a keynote speech acknowledging the value of team work and dedication.

Later, during the event, Jill Meyers, Women in STEM/ Outreach & Logistics Coordinator for Dreams Soar, presented Shaesta with an award on behalf of our team where ‘Capt. Shaesta Waiz‘ will be carved in the Udvar-Hazy Wall of Honor in Dulles, VA  indefinitely. Also, Naor Cohen of Stratos Aviation, presented Shaesta with the model of the Dreams Soar Bonanza A36 to include all partner decals and paint scheme!
