Meeting Schedule / Topic

We meet monthly in person at the North Carolina Museum of History, 5 E. Edenton St., Raleigh, NC 27601.   Currently, because the virulence of the Covid-19 virus is waning, masks are optional at the museum. We simultaneously record the meetings via Zoom and then publish them on our website for those unable to attend the meetings in person.   Each month, you will receive an email message from our CWRT President, Charlie Knight, inviting you to attend the meeting in person and giving you the link to access the meeting remotely.
