March First Sunday Program - The Civilian Conservation Corps - Jobs, Revitalization, Military Training

The Civilian Conservation Corps
put more than
3 million young men to work
in the nation's forests,
parks, and farms:
planting trees,
creating flood barriers,
fighting fires,
and building roads and trails.
Corps workers lived in camps under quasi-military discipline
and received a wage of $30 per month,
$25 of which they were required to send home to their families
which in turn helped to boost local economies.
Come learn more about a New Deal program
that was seen as a win-win
for the United States and its citizens
through the Great Depression and into World War II.
Our First Sunday program is on Sunday, March 4th will begin at 2 p.m.
Refreshments will be served following the program.
There is no charge for admittance.

and yet developed the character
to later keep the Union together
during a time of
great development and turmoil?
