For the 13th consecutive year, the Carmichaels Women’s Civic Club, along with the American Legion Post 400, is participating in the Wreaths Across America campaign.
The club is now seeking sponsors to purchase wreaths that will be placed on veterans’ graves at the Laurel Point Cemetery in Carmichaels.
On Dec. 16, National Wreaths Across America Day, remembrance wreaths will be placed on the graves of fallen veterans at more than 4,000 locations across the country and overseas. A remembrance ceremony will be held at Laurel Point Cemetery at noon on this day.
Last year, 360 wreaths were placed on the graves of the veterans buried at Laurel Point Cemetery. This year, the goal of the Carmichaels Women’s Civic Club is to place wreaths on the graves of the 369 veterans who are buried at Laurel Point. The Civic Club is seeking sponsorship from individuals, clubs, organizations, and businesses.
The cost is $17 per wreath and is tax deductible. The deadline for sponsorship is Nov. 30. Checks should be made to “Wreaths Across America” and sent to the Carmichaels Women’s Civic Club, PO Box 453, Carmichaels, PA 15320. For more information, call 724-966-2486.
