HCCLA is collecting and publishing a bit of history!  With the help of our member, Rosa Eliades, we have recovered a few old Docket Call magazines and the first Defender issues.  You can view the older publications by visiting our website (www.hccla.org/publications).  Thanks to all our members who have worked on our publications throughout the years:  Robert Pelton, Allen Isbell, Rosa Eliades, Melissa Martin, Daucie Shefman, Shawna Reagin, Kathryn Kase, and JoAnne Musick.  And special thanks to our executive director, Christina Appelt, for her constant help.

Let us know if we have forgotten anyone or if you have additional archives we might be missing!
