American Association of University Women honors WAVES of World War II

The Madison branch of the American Association of University Women (AAUW) will honor the WAVES, a group of 90,000 women who joined the armed forces during World War II.

Nancy Castellano, a resident of Madison, was one of the WAVES. She has since written a book about her experience as a member of the WAVES and worked as a teacher in the Morris Township/Morris School District for 43 years. Her book will be on sale at the event and the proceeds will benefit the MCREA scholarship fund.

For more information about the Madison Chapter of the AAUW, see their website.
