Wreaths Across America
2023 YOUTH SERVICE PROJECT
Wreaths Across America announced the 2023 Youth Service Project as part of its year-round Teach program. The project ties into the nonprofit’s 2023 theme, ‘Serve and Succeed.’ The Youth Service Project encourages young people of all ages and grade levels to develop, organize and execute a community service project to improve the lives of veterans or others in their community. By participating in, and successfully completing the Serve and Succeed project of their choice, students receive a community service award and commemorative bracelet. Each participant is entered into a drawing for the chance to visit National Wreaths Across America Museum, Gold Star History and Hospitality House and the tip land monuments where replica dog tags from thousands of service men and women are hung in remembrance. Throughout the year, the WAA Teach program provides educational opportunities for people nationwide to engage with veterans in their communities. In 2022, WAA launched a K-12 curriculum that is aligned with the National Council on Social Studies and state Common Core standards. The free, downloadable lesson plans ensure stories of service, sacrifice and valor are passed down while building good character and self-worth through service to others. “Teaching the value of freedom and the importance of honoring those who sacrificed is a core part of our mission, but we want young people to know you do not have to be in the military to serve,” said Cindy Tatum, Curriculum Developer. “No act of service is too small, and we look forward to all of the impactful projects students will submit.” wreathsacrossamerica.org/teach

There is a new golf resort in Frisco, the Omni PGA Frisco Resort. The Omni PGA Frisco Resort will open in May 2023, offering the ultimate in extravagant pleasures and pampering to be had by all. You do not have to like golf to have a good time here. This 660-acre resort is also serving up over 1,000 well-paying jobs with career growth opportunities and the best in corporate benefits.
Nothing could be a better win-win situation for Omni clients and workers. The Omni Mission and Vision statements: To empower our family of associates to provide an exceptional guest experience served up with authentic local flavor. We create memorable experiences inspired by the heart and soul of a destination. Opening a few weeks before the 2023 Senior PGA Championship, the Omni PGA Frisco Resort opens up with two public 18-hole golf courses, a 500-room hotel, 10 ranch houses, 13 restaurants, shopping, entertainment venues, four pools, Omni’s signature Mokara Spas, event and corporate management planning services, and advance bookings. Most services will be in operation at the May 2023 opening, but a few are up and coming in stages.
This resort calls itself the “New Home of Modern Golf”. The term “modern golf” actually refers to the “modern golf swing”. Described as a compact and powerful swing, this modern swing allows the golfer to generate a powerful clubhead speed without long swings. This means that the newest generation of golfing athletes can hit the ball well much easier. The Professional Golfers’ Association of America recently established its headquarters on the southwest corner of the Dallas North Tollway and Highway 380 in Frisco, across from the master-planned community of Windsong Ranch. Omni PGA Frisco Resort sits at 4341 PGA Parkway, Frisco, Texas. The two lie only one mile apart. Location, location, location!
All ages and skill levels will highly enjoy the two 18-hole championship courses, plus more, Fields Ranch East, designed by Gil Hanse; Fields Ranch West, designed by Beau Welling; The Swing, a lighted 10-hole, par-3 short course; and The Dance Floor, a 2-acre putting course and entertainment area. Then, there is the 12,000-squarefoot PGA Coaching Center abutting the Field’s Ranch Practice Facility and the PGA District. The coaching center provides coaching, club fitting, and fitness aspects, which create a unique high-touch, high-tech, and data-driven experience for beginners and skilled golfers.
In May 2023, PGA Frisco will open to local residents, Club 1916 members, and resort guests. Memberships will come available soon after the May opening. The Omni PGA Frisco is opening up in stages. It is still holding hiring events for its enormous amount of job openings needed to fulfill Omni’s mission and vision.
