Welcome to the National Museum of Commercial Aviation!

2ND ANNUAL NOT-SO-GALA GALA
SATURDAY, JUNE 26, 2010
7PM - 10PM
NATIONAL ARCHIVES, MORROW, GEORGIA

Join us for a night of incredible food, good friends, aviation art and exhibits, and lots of fun as the National Museum of Commercial Aviation holds its second annual Gala fundraising dinner. The evening features a gourmet buffet dinner, silent auction with more than 60 trips and aviation-related items, and live music. A real treat this year is the site of the dinner – thanks to Board of Advisors member James McSweeney, we will hold the Gala in the Main Gallery of the National Archives, in Morrow. Guests will get a special sneak peek at a new travelling exhibit that examines the growth of the busiest airport in the world through the eyes of three of its historic personalities – Asa Candler, William B. Hartsfield, and Maynard Jackson. ALL THIS FOR JUST $65! Corporate sponsorships are also available.
