Where's My ROA Calendar?
Because ROA's direct mailing partner, Barton Cotton, went bankrupt, ROA no longer solicits donations using gimmicks such as address labels, cards or the annual calendar. For those members who are calling looking for the calendar, ROA no longer has the capability to produce one without entering into another direct mail agreement: a decision that was decided against at the urging of members. ROA calendars will not be mailed for 2010. ROA's new annual giving program is through the Sustaining Member Program.

HISTORY:
Dec. 29, 1940 - On this day, President Franklin D. Roosevelt gave his famous "Arsenal of Democracy" fireside chat. The speech reflected the decline of the isolationist foreign policy doctrine in the lead up to World War II, and began a period of great increase of U.S. military personnel and equipment.
