Calling all Rocket Scientists!
Posted by: | Comments
Okay, you don’t really need to be a rocket scientist to help with “Family Rocket Day” on Saturday, July 17. Most “Family Rocket Day” volunteers simply share a love of rockets.
We are currently looking for volunteers for this exciting event. Even if you’ve never launched a rocket before… if rockets ignite your imagination, you can make a difference. Because of you, families who attend Family Rocket Day will be inspired, informed, and amazed about rocketry.
Interested in making a difference and having fun at the same time? Apply to be a volunteer! Or give me a call (701-258-1975) for more information.
