WordPress may not end up being the final tool that we stick with, but we’re trying it for now. Yes, the banner is too big, the text font is dated, etc. — we’re working on it!

We have a lot of “stuff” here that (maybe) won’t live on forever, but is here so we can see it, play with it, and decide if it’s useful to us as an organization. Please feel free to send constructive criticisms and feedback to info@neicra.org. We’re happy to hear your ideas, but please be constructive — just saying “I hate it” isn’t helpful!

Also, note that the Member Locator was published using an old membership list, as a computer crash ate our most up-to-date list. If you are a member, and your store information is missing or inaccurate, please let us know and we’ll update it asap!
