Deadly Tornadoes Continue
This week's deadly severe weather throughout the Midwest, along with last month's wave of tornadoes across the South, has left many members of the NACA family and their loved-ones in need.
In an effort to share information, we have set up a resource page on our website to help those institutions directly impacted by the storms, as well as their communities.

10 Year-Old Book Still Inspiring New Generation of DIY Artists
Published in 2001 - long before the internet disrupted the music industry as we knew it - the book "Our Band Could Be Your Life" provided a history lesson of what could loosely be called punk rock by sharing the stories of a dozen bands who found a reasonable level of success without any help from major record labels.
