Wreaths Across America
For the seventh consecutive year, the Carmichaels Women’s Civic Club, with American Legion Post 400 and Carmichaels Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 3491, 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, Carmichaels, on Dec. 16, National Wreaths Across America Day. A remembrance ceremony will be held at Laurel Point Cemetery at noon on this day.
Last year, 333 wreaths were placed on the graves of the veterans at Laurel Point Cemetery. This year, the goal of the Carmichaels Women’s Civic Club is to place wreaths on the graves of the 338 veterans who are buried at Laurel Point.
The Civic Club is seeking sponsorship from individuals, clubs, organizations and businesses. The cost is $15 per wreath and is tax deductible.
The deadline for sponsorship is Nov. 17. 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.
