Tales of Nudists and Onions

This has led me to a new hobby. Over the years, I’ve compiled a list of little-known associations from across the nation. Virtually any issue or interest is covered by an association. Here are some of my favorites.

National Candle Association
Based in Washington, D.C., NCA acts as “the collective voice of the candle industry.” NCA’s Web site (www.candles.org) provides useful information, such as explaining the four elements of a candle. For those who are too lazy to look them up, they are wax, wick, fragrance and colorant. Unfortunately
for fundraisers like you and me, there’s no advice about how to burn a candle at both ends.
