8 calendars left! Anyone need a last minute Holiday gift?

The 2020 Returned Peace Corps calendar is gorgeous and has nearly every holiday listed from around the world. The month of August features 2 of my photos. We still have about 20 calendars to sell. $12 each. All proceeds go to projects overseas developed by Oregon volunteers. PM me and I’ll deliver in the Eugene area.

Dear Peace Corps Community,

If you think this could never happen, think again.

While the Peace Corps still has strong bi-partisan support, the House of Representatives this Tuesday evening will vote on an amendment that - among other things - would eliminate all funding for the Peace Corps for the federal fiscal year that begins this October (FY 2020).

It is moments like these when our lawmakers need to hear from us to remind them of the strong, nationwide support for the Peace Corps. Please follow this link to tell your representatives that Peace Corps matters.

Thank you as we work to make the Peace Corps the best it can be.

In service,

Glenn Blumhorst
NPCA President
