The Nevada Aerospace Hall of Fame has reached out to the public, businesses, and aerospace – aviation communities to support its November 7, 2012 Hall of Fame reception, dinner and ceremony to kick off the 2012 Aviation Nation annual Nellis Open House. The NVAHOF reception, dinner and ceremony is followed by the largest free public event in Nevada on November 10-11 at Nellis Air Force Base, Nev. Supporters can register their support at http://nvahof.org/?rsvpmaker=rsvp-2012-nvahof-induction-dinner-ceremony or by visiting the NVAHOF website: http://nvahof.org/
NVAHOF is barred by law from using the event as a fundraiser due to the 2012 Hall of Fame event being focused on active duty DOD military personnel attendance and participation. NVAHOF urges the public, the business community and Nevada’s aerospace, military, and general aviation support organizations around the world to support the event through donations for event costs and by donating seating for our nation’s service men and women who might otherwise be unable to attend an event that recognizes them for their service.
