Winters Leadership Memorial Project Has Gotten a Little Press Lately!

July has been a busy month for the committee working on bringing the Veterans Plaza and Winters Leadership Memorial to Ephrata.  The result has been that we've gotten some nice media coverage here in Lancaster County.  Here's the run down:

Ephrata Review (July 9):  The Ephrata Review, our local community newspaper, published an update on our progress:  http://www.ephratareview.com/news/major-winters-memorial-project-still-going-strong/

Blueridge Cable 11 (July 9):  Our local cable TV station interviewed Dick Winters' good friend, Bill Jackson, while he was in town for an interview with Diane Dayton of "Behind the Lines".  http://youtu.be/OFCo97sF91s

Diane Dayton, Behind the Lines:  Bob Hoffman, Larry Alexander, Bill Jackson & Rebecca Gallagher were interviewed for a 30 minute cable TV program, "Behind the Lines".  The program will air sometime in August, stay tuned for dates & times!!

Lancaster Intelligencer (July 21):  The Lancaster Intelligencer ran a story titled, "Ephrata Celebrating Heroes, Including Dick Winters, Brick by Brick" to update the community on our progress with the plaza and memorial and let them know about some upcoming events we have planned.  http://lancasteronline.com/news/local/winters-memorial-plaza-in-ephrata-gains-momentum/article_4a0d72d8-0ecd-11e4-a4a3-0017a43b2370.html?mode=image&photo=1

We also continue to set up our table-top at local events to help raise money and spread awareness about the project.  You can see where we're planning to be on our website: http://www.wintersleadershipmemorial.org/events.html  If you have suggestions of places we SHOULD be, please let us know.

And if you feel as passionately about this project as we do, consider becoming a volunteer.  We've got plenty of things for folks to do!!  Contact us at WintersLeadershipMemorial@gmail.com.
