Carmichaels Women’s Civic Club seeking wreath sponsors
The Carmichaels Women’s Civic Club is joining forces with American Legion Post 400 and Carmichaels Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 3491 to place wreaths on veterans’ graves at Laurel Point Cemetery this December as part of the Wreaths Across America movement.
The Civic Club is seeking wreath sponsorship from local organizations, businesses, clubs and individuals. Wreaths are $15 each and tax deductible.
The sponsorship deadline is Nov. 30, 2022.
Last year, the Civic Club placed 350 wreaths at Laurel Point. This year, the club hopes to decorate the graves of 360 fallen veterans buried in that cemetery.
The Civic Club, American Legion and VFW will lay wreaths on National Wreaths Across America Day, Dec. 17, 2022, in spirit with volunteers decorating veterans’ graves at more than 3,100 sites at home and abroad.
That day, the Civic Club will host a remembrance ceremony at noon, following the laying of the wreaths. This is the club’s 12th consecutive year participating in Wreaths Across America.
Those who wish to sponsor a wreath should send a check made out to “Wreaths Across America” by mail to: Carmichaels Women’s Civic Club, P.O. Box 453, Carmichaels, PA 15320
