For the sixth consecutive year, the Carmichaels Women’s Civic Club, along with American Legion Post 400 and Carmichaels Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 3491, are participating in the Wreaths Across America campaign.

The club is seeking sponsorships from individuals, clubs, organizations and businesses to purchase wreaths that will be placed on veterans’ graves during a remembrance ceremony on National Wreaths Across America Day at noon Dec. 17 at Laurel Point Cemetery in Carmichaels.

On that day, remembrance wreaths will be placed on the graves of fallen veterans at more than 900 locations across the country and overseas.

Last year, 324 wreaths were placed on the graves of veterans at Laurel Point Cemetery. This year, the goal is to place wreaths on the graves of 330 veterans.

Cost is $15 per wreath and is tax deductible. Deadline for sponsorship is Friday. Checks should be made payable to Wreaths Across America and sent to the Carmichaels Women’s Civic Club, PO Box 453, Carmichaels, PA 15320.
