THIS MODERN WORLD

COLLEGE GRADS!
You’ve worked hard and finally achieved your degree. It’s time to reward yourself for your efforts. With VW’s College Grad programs, you can get that brand new car with your full time job (or even written commitment of employment), as little as zero cash down, and VW will even make your first payment! Your vehicle’s maintenance for 3 years 36,000 miles is even included at no cost. All that’s required is to be within 6 months of graduation or to have graduated no more than 24 months ago, in addition to having good credit or no prior credit, and you can be driving a new Volkswagen today. Build your credit at the same time. Certain other eligibility requirements apply.

Camp History The Marin History Museum’s awardwinning podcast series has just released an episode highlighting the extensive history of China Camp State Park. Located four miles northeast of San Rafael, China Camp is one of 70 state parks slated for closure on July 1. The audio documentary was produced and narrated by museum media volunteer George Thelen, in association with the nonprofit group Friends of China Camp, an organization fighting to keep the historic park open. The audio podcast episode is available for free at iTunes by searching Marin History Museum.
