10 year effort to showcase the CCC becomes a reality....thanks
for passing the legacy
The Massachusetts DCR has recently launched the CCC
website. As we refer more and more to the internet for learning
and teaching, websites share information that would otherwise never be
discovered. Enjoy the Massachusetts CCC story by becoming a web
visitor.
Alec Gillman, DCR, says: "...
the DCR
CCC website is now live; a
project that has, believe it or not, taken 10 years to become a
(virtual) reality. A big thank you to Amy Nelson, Ellen Fitzpatrick, Tim
Rayworth, Kristin Karl-Carnahan, Shaun Provencher, Al LeMay,
Martin Beveridge, many un-named others, and especially Barb Moran
for making this happen. You may visit and explore it at
http://www.mass.gov/dcr/ccc/index.htm.
Please pass this information along accordingly and link to it."
State of Massachusetts
Honors CCC Day - 2007
The Massachusetts State house was buzzing with
activity in honor of the men of the Civilian Conservation
Corps. Governor Deval Patrick issued the annual proclamation
recognizing March 31 as a CCC Day of recognition.
Francis Derwin, NACCCA Board-Northeast Region
Director, and his CCC colleagues have nurtured a sound working
relationship with the State of Massachusetts and continue to
bring attention to the CCC.

In July 2002, the Massachusetts
legislature enacted Chapter 154, of the Acts of 2002 which
states:
"The governor shall annually
issue a proclamation setting apart March 31 as Civilian Conservation
Corps Day, in recognition of the contribution of its 100,000 members
who helped to build roads, construct bridges and towers and preserve
our nation's land during the period from 1933 to 1942, and
recommending that said day be observed in an appropriate manner by the
people."
