However, women and minorities are making important strides to increase diversity within the industry. These panelists, who have broken gender and racial barriers in the industry, will address the current social landscape of commercial flying and reflect upon their own experiences.

December 5, 1933 marked an important occasion in American culture – that’s the historic day that Prohibition officially ended and Americans were, once again, free to (legally) consume alcohol at their will.
Ragtime, one of Arlington’s favorite neighborhood watering holes, will be celebrating the repeal of 18th Amendment with their 5th Annual Prohibition Repeal Day Party.
On Saturday, December 8th guests will be transported back in time for one heck of a blowout!
Guests will enjoy classic Prohibition era cocktails like Lucky Luciano’s Old Fashioned, the Blackberry Sidecar, the Rock Candy 75, the Frozen Mary Pickford and more.
Live music courtesy of the Laissez Faire Jazz Band will keep the crowd dancing from 8:00 pm until Midnight.
Attendees are invited dress in their favorite flapper or gangster-style threads to participate in Ragtime’s Costume Contest for the best 1930’s-style outfit.
The evening will be topped off with complimentary champagne toast at Midnight.
