PAN AM MEMORBILLA UPDATE
The Pan Am Historical Foundation raises funds on an on-going basis as it pursues its goal of establishing The Pan Am Historical Museum. On the registration form we are asking folks to indicate if they plan to bring Pan Am memorabilia for a fund raising auction / raffle. Please be selective with your memorabilia donations. This is not a "garage sale' type of activity. In other words we are not looking for folks to bring those boxes stored in the attic or basement. Be selective and bring just a couple of small items that will be of interest for auctioning or a raffle prize. Items not sold will be returned to the donor.
Stay tuned for future updates. Regards, Al Topping
