Volunteers wanted ... can you help? - Fort Vancouver, Feb/Mar 2015

[Charles Radley]

Volunteers wanted ... can you help?

The Pearson Air Museum at Fort Vancouver is running a series of aviation themed lectures, including on spaceflight, every Thursday evening at 6.30 pm  during the months of February and March, 2015.   This is a joint collaboration with Oregon L5, a Chapter of the National Space Society.

Each event represents a recruitment opportunity for Oregon L5, and we need at least one representative of Oregon L5 to show up at each meeting and hand out recruitment literature, which I can provide.

Alas I will be unable to attend all the events myself, although I will be at the one on 19th Feb where I am presenting.

Here is a list of the lectures.

Please contact me if you are able to attend any of these, my email is  Cha...@ava.st

Thanks,

Charles F Radley – President, Oregon L5
