Volunteers
Speaking of the Air Fest 2008, We Need
Volunteers!!!!!
Some areas where assistance is needed are parking
cars,
signing up kids for the Young Eagle Flights, refuse pick-up,
set-up and take-down (tables/chairs, crowd control barriers, etc.)
and
other such jobs.
We will provide you with an
official AirFest 2008 shirt,
lunch on the day of the event, and the experience of a
lifetime.
If you are
interested in helping out please call
Tanya at 540-825-8280 or send an
email with your name, address,
phone number and how you would
like to help out at:
twoodward@culpepercounty.gov

We would not be able to present these exciting shows
without the many volunteers who help us year after year
We are working together to help make your Aviation
Dreams come to life.
