ATTENTION STUDENTS:

Volunteering for the Veteran's History Project can earn you free WCRA membership & more!

Don't forget, students, that you can earn a free WCRA membership or free convention registration by transcribing veterans' tapes.  Transcribe 50 pages for a free membership or 75 pages for a free convention registration.  This not only helps preserve the history of our veterans, but also helps you!
