Lead Story

  • The fundraiser is almost half over!

    The WMRA Fundraiser ends Saturday at noon...and it just started yesterday.

    Support Now and help us offset the $86,000 we're losing at the beginning of July.

    In recent years, state support for WMRA has been whittled away. However, that funding will be completely gone when July arrives. Our Community Service Grant from the Commonwealth represents 6.4% of our fiscal budget.

    If you've been waiting for a good time to become a supporter of WMRA... this is it!
