Help Needed to Prepare for AirVenture Oshkosh
EAA Volunteer Newsletter, May 2014
We’re looking for people who love having an insider’s view of how EAA and AirVenture Oshkosh work or looking to give back to their community. One of the best ways is through the spring and summer Weekend Work Parties on the AirVenture Oshkosh grounds. Spend a weekend day or two with us in Oshkosh and you’ll get that insider’s view, while meeting some other great EAA members and knowing that you help build The World’s Greatest Aviation Celebration. The work varies but can include carpentry, grass cutting, painting, gardening, general maintenance, and things we probably haven’t thought of yet.
We love meeting volunteers from all over during these weekends. We’re also putting together special programming for each weekend just for Weekend Work Party Volunteers, so there’s some fun and fellowship, too.

June 7-8: Behind the Ropes EAA AirVenture Museum Tour
June 21-22: Tentative Behind the Ropes EAA AirVenture Museum Tour
