March Is a Busy Month at EAA HQ and AirVenture Museum
From EAA Volunteer Newsletter, February 2015 Issue
February, 2015 - While much of our volunteer news focuses on AirVenture, EAA has many volunteers who give their time throughout the year. In Oshkosh, we are so thankful for the volunteers who support so many different events year-round that bring the community to EAA and allow us share the spirit of aviation.
You are always invited you to take a trip to Oshkosh and join us as a guest or even as a volunteer at one of EAA’s events. In March, there are several activities to suit everyone’s interests, so don’t be a stranger at your headquarters!
Hops and Props: Saturday, March 7, is one of the EAA AirVenture Museum’s most popular annual events: Hops & Props, a fundraiser that features beverages and food, master brewers, microbrews, live music and more.
