All, if you are looking for a New Year's resolution, might I suggest membership in the CWPT at a comfortable level for you and to giving when you can to some of their campaigns on behalf of CW battlefield preservation.
Happy New Year to everyone.

Dear CWPT Supporter,
Before the year comes to a close, I want to send along my heartfelt thanks for the support that you have shown this organization over the past twelve months. 2010 was another banner year for the Civil War Preservation Trust and for battlefield preservation. Looking back over a year of accomplishments I hope that you will feel confidence in knowing that your support produced real results.
Happy New Year to everyone.

| We Do What We Say We save Civil War battlefields, pure and simple. Over our history we have saved more than 29,000 acres of Civil War battlefield land. In 2010, with your generous support, we're now working to add an additional 1,400 acres of hallowed ground to the saved column. 2010 Highlights · Two vitally important Gettysburg tracts, totaling 12 acres · 49 Acres at Saunders Field on the Wilderness Battlefield · 10 Acres at the Second Manassas Battlefield · 84 Acres at the Spring Hill Battlefield · 782 Acres at Brandy Station We Keep Our Expenses to a Minimum  In 2010, we spent just 3.3% of our expenses on administration, and just 8.3% on fundraising, meaning that 88 cents of every dollar we spent went directly toward specific battlefield preservation efforts, education programs and our public outreach activities. I will stack those stewardship numbers up against any other non-profit in America. · In 2010, CWPT received Charity Navigator's 4-Star Charity designation – their highest award.
