UPDATES

New versions -- long and short, respectively -- of the news release boilerplate are now available.
-------------------------------------

The 2020 CAP Fact Sheet is now available, as are the new Report to Congress and the accompanying Wing Reports.

-------------------------------------

The Resource Library now includes a section devoted to documents -- including news release and media advisory templates and a fact sheet -- for use in promoting local involvement in Wreaths Across America.

-------------------------------------
Short video presentations on "The Value of Video in Social Media," "Creating Good Video Content" and "Creating Video with Purpose" have been added to the Toolkit.

-------------------------------------

The upgraded, newly designed GoCivilAirPatrol.com is live, folding four CAP sites into one and making the original GoCivilAirPatrol.com much
more user-friendly for both existing members as well as prospective new members.

Civil Air Patrol has launched CAP.news, replacing VolunteerNow as the organization's news website. CAP.news features an engaging
scroll-down format and much more attractive photo presentation. Content is aimed largely toward an external audience, especially the media.
