| Come Grow With Us! |
The Estrella Warbirds Museum has always been known for its constant change and quality of the displays. If you have not been to the museum in a while, there is no better time then this summer to catch up on the latest aircraft, military vehicle or automotive display that has become part of the museum since the last time you visited.
If you have a little bit of extra time on your hands and are looking for a new hobby or willing to share your knowledge or even learn something new, we are always looking for
gift shop workers, docents or volunteers in the restoration or maintenance areas. We are all family and would like you to join us! It's fun! There are plenty of new friends to meet and enjoyable times to be had.
Contact us today! We'd love to hear from you.

Giving Tuesday - An Opportunity You Don't Want To Miss
|
|
 |
On #GivingTuesday, Facebook and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation will be matching up to $2 million of funds raised for US nonprofits through Facebook's charitable giving tools. Donations can be matched up to $50,000 per nonprofit, with a max of $1,000 per fundraiser or donate button, until the $2 million in matching funds run out. The match will begin November, 28th at 8AM EST (5AM PST).
Facebook is waiving all fees for donations to nonprofits on #GivingTuesday. Don't miss out on this incredible year end opportunity to double your donation impact. Please click on the image above to be taken to our FaceBook page and consider a donation today. Estrella Warbirds Museum is a 501(c)(3) non profit, funded primarily by private donations. As we continue to grow, unfortunately, so do our expenses. Every dollar donated helps us fulfill our mission.
We are dedicated to the restoration and preservation of military aircraft, military vehicles, and memorabilia to those who flew and worked on military aircraft. Our approach, however, is not to glorify conflict but rather to make a future generation aware of the fact our way of life does not come without sacrifice.
