American Rosie the Riveter Association Seeks Working Women of WWII

By Press Release

COURT HOUSE — American Rosie the Riveter Association is trying to locate women who worked on the home front during WWII. Thousands of women worked to support the war effort as riveters, ,welders, electricians, inspectors in plants, sewing clothing and parachutes for the military, ordnance workers, rolling bandages, clerical, farming, and many other jobs such as volunteer workers collecting scrap metals and other critical materials. These women have stories of their WWII experiences that are of historical value and perhaps have never been told. American Rosie the Riveter Association would like to acknowledge these women with a certificate and have their stories placed in our Archives.
American Rosie the Riveter Association is a patriotic/nonprofit organization whose purpose is to recognize and preserve the history and legacy of working women during WWII. This organization was founded in 1998 by Dr. Frances Carter, Birmingham, Ala. and now has over 5,500 members nationwide. Current elected officers from Georgia, Maryland, Texas, Missouri and Alabama all serve on a volunteer basis.
At the annual Convention, members get together with old friends and make new friends. The next Convention will be held in Kansas City, Mo. June 9-11. ‘There will be speakers, entertainment and good food. When plans are completed, details will be posted on our website at www.rosietheriveter.net and through the media.
If you are a woman (or descendant of a woman) who worked during WWII, or if you are just interested in more information, please call the toll free number 1-888-557-6743 or e-mail americanrosietheriveter2@yahoo.com.
