Volunteers Needed for NBAA2010 Boys & Girls Club
Community Build
NBAA's Annual Meeting & Convention always provides an ideal opportunity for the industry to show its support for the local host city, and that
will be the case again this year. In conjunction with the 63rd Annual Meeting & Convention (NBAA2010) in Atlanta, GA, volunteers are needed for a
"community build" on Sunday, October 17, to benefit the Brookhaven Boys & Girls Club located near Peachtree DeKalb Airport, the site of the NBAA
Static Display of Aircraft. Sponsors have generously supported the build by donating breakfast, lunch, snacks, t-shirts and hats, as well as other
funds necessary to conduct the build. The sponsors and NBAA are looking for volunteers to help put the build together. Register online today at http://www.nbaa.org/2010. To watch a video message from NBAA2010 Local Committee Chairman Jim Cannon or learn
