Hope Everyone Enjoyed a Happy & Safe 4th!
It's July 6th not many people are thinking about the holidays or wreaths for our veterans, but we have some great news to share with you about Wreaths Across America!
If you have been a longtime subscriber of our newsletter, you know that it has been several months - an unusual gap - since our last edition. Well we have been hard a work and have several new projects to unveil...
The New Website Is Available!
Our first big announcement and one of our biggest projects this spring was a whole redesign of the Wreaths Across America website.
Since allowing our supporters to post comments since 2007 - the old site was over 400 pages and becoming increasingly hard to manage. So a new site design was commissioned.
The new site looks different, but just as important we have added a number of new functions to support the mission of our Location Leaders and Fundraising Groups.
Each participating location has become almost like a mini-website within the larger website. You won't see the back office area, but know that each day we are adding the resources that help our leaders make the most memorable events each December.
Special thanks to our friends at Links Online Solutions as they worked thru our many questions and requests.
If you would like to see a comparison between the old and new sites, the old one will be up just a little bit longer while we complete the transition:
The NEW Wreaths Across America.org
The OLD Wreaths-Across-America.org
We Have Also Added A New Video
In addition to the new website, we also added a new WAA video that can be found on the website and at YouTube.Many of you who have watched our videos in the past know that a lot of the focus surrounded the events at Arlington National Cemetery.
The new video captures both the humble beginning at Arlington - and the scope of the program which has now grown to over 350 participating locations.

We have some other great updates and news to share - and I promise we won't make you wait as long this time! Now that the new site is up and rolling, we will be sharing more frequently.
In the meantime, I hope you will check out the new site and video. We will be collecting information to share in future newsletters so if you have a particularly memorable story to share about your Wreaths Across America experience - please email us.
I look forward to hearing from you.
