AD in Program for 2024 Gathering of Eagles

[Rex Moen]

AFA Board of Directors

At our meeting tonight, I would like to make a motion that our chapter purchase a $200 ad in the Flight Test Museum Foundation's program for the 2024 "Gathering of Eagles."

Michelle Welsh, the wife of George Welsh, is a graphic designer/layout expert preparing the  GOE program.  I am sure she could put together a design for our ad.

The information is the following:

The Flight Test Museum Foundation is holding their annual Gathering of Eagles function to be held in the Hellenic Center at 5:00 PM, on Saturday, November 9, 2024.

This is just a followup to my previous conversations about the possibility of your organizations placing an ad in the Program.

The prices are as follows:

Full page $750

1/2 page $350

1/4 page $250

Business card size $100

WHAT WOULD REALLY BE NEAT IS, IF ALL THREE ORGANIZATIONS WENT TOGETHER AND BOUGHT A $750, FULL PAGE AT A COST OF $250 EACH and you each get almost a 1/3 page personalized ad with your logo and customized message, versus a 1/4 page for the same money.

An awesome banner at the top of the page could read as follows or something similar: 

               THE TOP THREE COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS SUPPORTING EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE

Civilian/Military Support Group - Antelope Valley Economic Development & Growth Enterprise -  Air and Space Force Association 

                                        CONGRATULATE THE 30 YEARS OF THE VISTA X-62 

                                            THE RECIPIENTS OF THE 2024 EAGLE AWARD

                                Have a picture of "Vista X-62" either above or below the banner.

This leaves almost a 1/3 page each for your groups to figure out how to use them. Hopefully with your Logo and the who, what, why of your group and boosting of your support of Edwards.

If all three organizations join hands to do this, I will contribute $150 towards the ad because I am a member of Civ/Mil and the AFA ; and because  believe so much in all three organizations. 

That leaves $200 needed from each of your organizations! 

The deadline for publication is August 31, 2024.

Oh, I really hope you advetise the event to your members and that you plan to attend.

Thank you for all you do for Edwards Air Force Base.
